Abstract
The invention relates to a non-axial working End-of-Content mechanism which is geared by a hypocycloid gearing. The EoC mechanism comprises a first element () having a first internal surface () with a first internal diameter (D), and an EoC element () having a second external surface () with a second external diameter (d) being smaller that the first internal diameter (D). The EoC element () is located inside the first internal diameter (D) of the first element () and the first element () and the EoC element rotates relatively to each other in a gearing ratio. The EoC element () thus operating as the inner rolling circle of a hypocycloid counting the numbers of relative rotations. The EoC mechanism further has stopping means ()) provided for stopping the relative rotation in a predetermined position which position correlates to the initial injectable content of drug in the injection device such that a user cannot at any time set a dose larger than the quantum left in the injection device at any time.
