  • Patent number: 7806866
    Abstract: A device for automatically injecting an active agent, the device involving a syringe filled with an active agent and carrying an injection needle, the syringe displaceable in a receiver by the tension of a spring. A transmission displaceable by at least one spring traverses a first partial path for sticking the injection needle and a second partial path for emptying the active agent from the syringe. The at least one spring acts between the transmission and an intermediate part, and another spring acts between the intermediate part and a support fixedly connected to the receiver. An indicator visible from the outside is connected to the intermediate part, moves only during the second partial path, and traverses a path length that is substantially smaller that the sum of both partial paths.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7169133
    Abstract: An injection device including a housing, a reservoir for a product to be injected, an advancing apparatus that carries out an advancing movement to discharge a selected dose of product from the reservoir, a dosing member that carries out a propulsion movement relative to the housing in a propulsion direction and a dosing movement counter to the propulsion direction, the dosing member operably coupled with the advancing apparatus such that the propulsion movement causes the advancing movement of the advancing apparatus, wherein the length of a distance determining the discharged dose is selected by the dosing movement, a first catch mechanism formed by the housing in a sleeve section that surrounds the dosing member, and a second catch mechanism formed by one of the dosing member or a separate, additional dosing catch body, wherein a catch engagement of the catch mechanisms is releasable through a rotation free dosing movement of the dosing member or the separate, additional dosing catch body.
