  • Patent number: 11458254
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for adjusting an injection device for administering a substance that includes a device housing with an array of fastening points. The apparatus has at least two housing-like shells, each having at least one holding device and at least one blocking device for attaching to the housing. The holding device of a first shell can be attached to a fastening point, and the holding device of a second shell can be attached to a further fastening point. Upon attaching all of the plurality of housing-like shells to the housing, the blocking devices of the plurality of housing-like shells prevent the disengagement of the plurality of housing-like shells from the housing by blocking detachment of the holding devices from the fastening points. At least one of the housing-like shells comprises an electronic assembly and shell attachment to the housing activates the electronic assembly.

  • Patent number: 11458257
    Abstract: An injection device having a delivery element with an inner thread may be driven by rotation and includes a cylindrical outer wall region, which is substantially smooth. Such features provide a delivery element configured such that it is less intimidating to patients than known threaded rods, and may facilitate easy cleaning. The delivery element may be non-rotatably guided and axially spring-loaded, and may be inserted axially into the housing when the reservoir is replaced. The driving thread element for the delivery element may be mounted in the vicinity of the distal end of the housing.

  • 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.
