Claim:
1. A needle-free injection device comprising: an injector body; an injector tube positioned within the injector body, said injector tube housing a main spring configured to be selectively compressed to place the needle-free injection device in an armed configuration and a hammer, wherein the injector tube is configured to move laterally away from a syringe end of the needle-free injection device when pressure is applied to a nozzle end of a needle-free syringe prior to an injection; at least one handle attached with a pivot hinge to the injector body such that the handle pivots between an open and a closed position and such that the handle remains attached to the injector body during an injection; at least one linkage between the handle and the main spring causing the main spring to be compressed into the armed configuration when the handle is moved from the open to the closed position; and an actuation button in mechanical communication with a hammer release, wherein the actuation button cannot engage the hammer release unless the injector tube is moved to a position fully away from the syringe end of the device.
