Abstract
An injection device () is provided which includes a syringe () having a discharge nozzle (). The syringe is movable between a retracted position in which the discharge nozzle is contained within the housing and an extended position in which the discharge nozzle extends from the housing. A trigger () is activatable to allow the contents of the syringe to be discharged through the discharge nozzle. There is also a releasable locking mechanism () which, when engaged, prevents the trigger from moving into an active position. The trigger includes a first portion () having a cut-out () which extends from a first end of the trigger in a direction substantially parallel to the first axis (). The releasable locking mechanism includes a protrusion () along a second axis () for communicating with the first portion of the trigger when the releasable locking mechanism is engaged and for communicating with the cut-out when the releasable locking mechanism is disengaged. Such an injection device provides improved protection against accidental activation of the trigger.
