  • Publication number: 20210030960
    Abstract: An insertion device includes an upper casing, an insertion module and a lower casing. The insertion module is disposed in the upper casing, and includes a main body assembly, an insertion seat, a first elastic member, a retraction seat and a second elastic member. When the upper casing is depressed, the insertion seat is driven by the first elastic member to perform an automatic-insertion operation, such that limiting structure between the insertion seat and the retraction seat collapses upon the collapse of another limiting structure between the insertion seat and the main body assembly, and that the retraction seat is driven by the second elastic member to perform an automatic-retraction operation.

  • Patent number: 9386945
    Abstract: A blood lancing device includes a housing unit and a cap. When the cap is disposed at an initial position, a second drive element is blocked by a first drive element from forward movement relative to the first drive element. When the cap is moved from the initial position to a retracted position, the first drive element pushes the second drive element so that the second drive element is deviated from the first drive element when a holder holding a lancet is moved to a trigger position, thereby allowing for a high speed movement of the holder from the trigger position to a pricking position by virtue of biasing action of a first biasing member.
