Abstract
An injection device includes a cap which is withdrawn from the front of the device before use to remove a boot from the needle. The cap has fingers which grip the boot and which pass down a passage through which the needle projects to inject a dose. The passage has projections disposed to reduce the effective bore of the passage, the projections having inwardly inclined resilient portions which allow the boot to be withdrawn forwardly through the passage but prevent a finger being poked into the passage.
