  • Patent number: 7214213
    Abstract: A device for displaying a dosage setting on an injection device includes a reading area in a casing of the injection device and a scale band arranged in the interior of the casing. The scale band is at least partially guided past the reading area by a guiding device, and can be set in accordance with a dosage setting of the injection device, and the dosage setting can be read from the reading area. A transport device, coupled to a dosage setting device of the injection device, is provided for transporting said scale band past the reading area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6942435
    Abstract: A machine tool, particularly a hand machine tool, including an indexing mechanism which is switchable by an actuating element via at least one coupling element, and including at least one spring element arranged in the flux of force between the actuating element and the coupling element. The spring element in the flux of force from the actuating element in the direction of the coupling element is fixedly connected to a first component in at least two actuating directions, and in the opposite direction of the flux of force, is fixedly connected to a second component at least in the two actuating directions.

  • Publication number: 20030079562
    Abstract: The present invention is based on a machine tool, particularly a hand machine tool, having an indexing mechanism (10, 12) which is switchable by an actuating element (14, 16) via at least one coupling element (18), and having at least one spring element (20, 22) arranged in the flux of force between the actuating element (14, 16) and the coupling element (18). It is proposed that the spring element (20, 22) in the flux of force from the actuating element (14, 16,) in the direction of the coupling element (18) be fixedly connected to a first component (24, 26) in at least two actuating directions (28, 30), and in the opposite direction of the flux of force, be fixedly connected to a second component (32, 34) at least in the two actuating directions (28, 30).
