Claim:
1. A drug delivery device, comprising: a main portion comprising: the drug delivery device being adapted to be used in combination with a needle assembly comprising: wherein a mounted needle assembly is moveable between a connected position in which the hollow needle is arranged in fluid communication with the reservoir and a dis-connected position in which the hollow needle is not arranged in fluid communication with the reservoir, the drug delivery device further comprising: wherein the shield in the shielding position covers the distal pointed end of a mounted needle assembly, wherein the shield in the non-shielding position allows the distal pointed end of a mounted needle assembly to be inserted subcutaneously, wherein a mounted needle assembly is moved from the dis-connected to the connected position when the shield is moved from the shielding to the non-shielding position, wherein a mounted needle assembly is moved from the connected to the dis-connected position when the shield is moved from the non-shielding to the shielding position, and wherein the needle mount relative to the drug reservoir is moveable between a proximal position in which a mounted needle assembly is in the connected position and a distal position in which a mounted needle assembly is in the dis-connected position, the needle mount being moved between the two positions when the shield is displaced between the non-shielding and shielding positions.
