  • Injection device with outer cap with needle protection cap removal element and method for assembling an injection device
    Patent number: 11311681
    Abstract: An injection device comprising a cap for removing a needle protection cap from a product container, and a method for assembling an injection device. The cap comprises an engaging element for removing the needle protection cap from the product container when the cap is removed from the injection device. The engaging element can be deformed in such a way that the engaging element can be moved from a distanced position, in which the engaging element is radially distanced from the needle protection cap, into an engagement position, in which the engaging element engages with the needle protection cap, with the engaging element being deformed when the cap is removed.
