Claim Text:
1. A lubrication device for gas pressure-driven lubrication of a lubrication point, comprising: a lubricant container having an outlet opening at a first end and a combination of a collar and an insert received within the collar that covers a second end, wherein the collar and the insert are relatively rotatable; and a gas generation means housed within the combination, wherein the insert includes a groove having a contact surface forming a mechanical interlock with one or more catches of the collar when the insert is inserted into collar, wherein the lubrication device is provided with a release position of the insert relative to the collar, wherein a prying force required to disengage the mechanical interlock and separate the insert from the collar is less at the release position rather than at non-release positions, so that the insert can be removed to gain access to the gas generation means for separate disposal thereof, wherein the contact surface of the groove further comprises a notch, wherein in the release position, the notch is aligned with a catch of the collar, and wherein the collar comprises two or more catches, one catch being narrower than the other catches.
