Abstract:
1. A device for receiving a hypodermic syringe comprising an outer housing which has at one end a supporting element with an opening for an injection cannula of the hypodermic syringe and which has on its inner surface fixing means for engaging in counter-fixing means which are arranged on the outer surface of an injection container of the hypodermic syringe, and comprising a displacement element which can be arranged in a captively displaceable manner in the outer housing and which has at its end opposite the supporting element an actuating element on which at least one means is arranged which, during displacement of the displacement element in the outer housing, tensions at least one spring element with the build-up of a restoring force and, if a hypodermic syringe is received in the device, disengages the fixing means from the counter-fixing means of the hypodermic syringe and the at least one spring element is disposed such that the outer housing and the injection container are moved relative to one another by the restoring force to such an extent until the injection cannula is fully received in the outer housing, wherein the at least one spring element is formed as a substantially sinusoidal spring element or as a spiral spring element or the like, which consists of plastics material.
