A device for administering a fluid product includes a first housing part with a receiver for the product, a second housing part detachably connectable to the first housing part, a piston rod held such that it can be displaced for the exertion of an emptying movement, an actuatable or releasable drive element for the piston rod, a coupling element including a coupling input element that couples the drive element to the piston rod in a coupling engagement, transmits a driving force of the drive element to the piston rod, and triggers the emptying movement, and a decoupling element displaceably connected to the second housing part and coupled to the first housing part such that it is displaced, by a movement of the housing parts in relation to each other when the housing parts are separated into a decoupling position wherein the piston rod is decoupled from the coupling input element.

Device for the dosed administration of a fluid product, adapted for the replacement of a container

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.

Injection device comprising an improved delivery element

A device for administering a fluid product, the device including a first housing part provided with a receiver for the product, a second housing part detachably connectable to the first housing part, a piston rod held such that it can be displaced for the exertion of an emptying movement, an actuatable or releasable drive element for the piston rod, a coupling element including a coupling input element that couples the drive element to the piston rod in a coupling engagement, transmits a driving force of the drive element to the piston rod, and triggers the emptying movement, and a decoupling element displaceably connected to the second housing part and coupled to the first housing part such that it is displaced, by a movement of the housing parts in relation to each other when the housing parts are separated into a decoupling position wherein the piston rod is decoupled from the coupling input element.

A wheeled vehicle with a crank drive and an electric drive, comprising:

Wheeled vehicle with electric drive in the rear frame triangle and electric motor for a wheeled vehicle

An injection device including at least one sensor for detecting an operating process of the injection device, an electronic circuit connected to the sensor for establishing the beginning and elapsed time of a service life, based on one or more sensor signals, and an output device connected to the circuit for providing a signal indicating the end of the service life. The invention encompasses a method for determining a service life of an injection device, wherein the beginning of the service life is established by one or more sensors for detecting an operating process of the device, a signal is generated which signals the end of the service life, and at least one of an optical, acoustic or tactile output device is associated with the injection device for providing a signal which indicates the end of the service life.

Service life timer for a device for administering a product in doses

An injection device including a drive unit, a delivery unit, a dosing unit, a trigger for triggering an injection, a first coupling mechanism between the drive unit and the delivery unit, and a second coupling mechanism between the dosing unit and the drive unit, wherein the drive unit is tensioned by a rotation of the dosing unit and when the drive unit is tensioned the first coupling mechanism is disengaged and the second coupling mechanism is engaged, and wherein when an injection is triggered first the first coupling mechanism is engaged and then the second coupling mechanism is disengaged. In some embodiments, the device may include a third coupling mechanism which only releases the delivery unit after the engagement and disengagement which follow a triggering.

Injection device comprising several coupling mechanisms

A device for the dosed administration of a fluid product including a housing, a conveying device for the product, a drive element influenced by the selection of a product dose, a coupling input member coupled to the drive element, a coupling output member coupled to the conveying device, a retaining device which maintains the coupling elements in a maintaining position uncoupled from each other, wherein at least one of the coupling elements is displaceable by a coupling movement from the maintaining position into a coupling state, and wherein a driving force of the drive element causes a delivery movement of the conveying device via the coupling elements.

Device for the dosed administration of a fluid product, provided with a coupling

An injection device including casing with a reservoir for an injectable product, an operating button which can be moved relative to the casing in a dosing direction which increases the dosage and in a correcting direction to set a product dosage, a conveying member for delivering the dosage set, a slip coupling comprising a latching element and a co-operating latching element which latch to each other in a latching engagement and couple the operating button to the casing in a positive and non-positive fit in discrete latching positions during a movement in the dosing direction or the correcting direction, and a spring member which opposes the movement of the operating button in at least one of the directions with a spring force, wherein the latching element or co-operating latching element are shaped such that in the latching engagement they offer a lower resistance to the movement in the at least one of the directions than to the movement in the other direction.
