An injection device configured for attachment to the skin of a patient includes a housing and a skin adhesive layer attached to an external surface of the housing for attaching the injection device to the skin of a patient. A release liner covering the skin adhesive layer prevents the injection device from attaching to the skin. A film with one end connected to a surface inside of the housing forms a removable sterile barrier and the other end connected to an external surface of the release liner without contacting the skin adhesive layer. The housing, skin adhesive layer and release liner each include a notch defining a passage for the film so that the second end of the film can extend from the interior to the exterior of the housing.

Dosing device for an administration device with a limiting mechanism containing: a dosing sleeve with a first stop and a stop wheel with a second stop means adapted to continually and proportionally follow a movement of the dosing sleeve during dosing movements. During an ejection movement, there is no relative movement between dosing sleeve and stop wheel. The first stop and the second stop each describe a path curve by their movements such that the two path curves intersect in one point and the stops contact one another and tilt the stop wheel, thereby blocking the dosing movement of the dosing sleeve. The stop wheel comprises first and third sloped surfaces that may form first and second gear guidances with a clutch thereby returning the stop wheel to a non-tilted position during up or down dosing movements when the stops do not contact another.

An injection device configured for attachment to the skin of a patient using an adhesive layer includes a release liner covering the adhesive layer thereby preventing skin attachment. The release liner comprises a sheet of material where a first surface contacts the adhesive layer, and an aperture defining a passage for a film connected to a first sterile barrier film located within the injection device. An end of the film is connected to a second surface of the sheet of material that is opposite to the first surface, and the release liner is covered by a strengthening sheet connected to the second surface and covering the aperture and the end of the film.

This relates to an injection device comprising a housing for receiving a product container, which has a rigidly connected injection needle, and a cap for removing a needle protection cap from the product container. The cap comprises an engagement element in order to carry out the removal of the needle protection cap from the product container while removing the cap from the injection device. The cap further comprises a rotating sleeve, wherein the rotating sleeve has a reverse rotation protection element, and the engagement element or the housing has a reverse rotation protection counter-element in order to allow a rotation of the rotating sleeve in one direction and block the rotation in the opposite direction.
