Abstract: A device for removing a needle unit from an injection device, the device for removing including an opening for receiving the needle unit and a locking structure generally associated with the opening, the locking structure formed in at least one rim area along the circumference of the opening, such that the needle unit can be moved in an insertion direction through the opening after it has been inserted into the opening, and when the needle unit is moved counter to the insertion direction, it establishes a locking connection with the locking structure. In one embodiment, the invention includes a container for receiving and containing at least one used needle unit.

Abstract: A needle cover for covering an injection needle of an injection device, such as an injection pen, including a cover which can be shifted longitudinally along the longitudinal axis of the needle and which covers a proximal end of the needle in a needle protecting position, a restoring means for axially returning the cover from a retracted position towards the proximal end of the needle into an advanced position, and a latch for preventing the cover from being retracted in the needle protecting position, wherein the position of the cover is different in the advanced position and in the needle protecting position, and the latch is activated to prevent the cover from being retracted when the cover is shifted near to the needle protecting position. The present invention encompasses a cannula support comprising such a needle cover, wherein the needle cover is detachably or non-detachably connected to the cannula support.

Abstract: A device comprising an outer part and an inner part accommodated in the outer part wherein longitudinal grooves are provided within the inner part so as to receive longitudinal ribs of an injection needle. Protrusions that are disposed on the outer part and recesses which are arranged within the inner part allow the inner part to be twisted only in one direction relative to the outer part while putting up resistance to said twisting movement. A spring tenses the outer part and the inner part counter to each other in an axial direction.
