Supported in the front part (2) of the device is an exchangeable injection ampoule (4). Arranged in the rear part (1) is a gear mechanism (3) of which the drive element is a sleeve (10) comprising a control head (11), and of which the driven element is a threaded rod (12) which can move longitudinally and is locked against rotation. The threaded rod (12) is fixed in the guide thread (22) of a gear element (20), which can move axially from a rest position to a final position by means of pressure on the control head (11) against the force of a spring (26). In the rest position of the gear element (20), the threaded rod (12) which is spaced from the piston (5) of the injection ampoule (4), is threaded in the guide thread (22) of the element (20) by rotation of the control head (11) over a distance corresponding to the piston travel required for the quantity of liquid to be injected without the threaded rod (12) striking the piston (5). Next, the needle (7) is inserted and the gear element (20) is pushed foward from the rest position to the final position by pressing on the control head (11). During the travel (h) the threaded rod (12) strikes the piston (5) and pushes it forward over the preselected distance. The device makes it possible to preselect any desired quantity of liquid by rotating the control head (11) and injecting it simply by inserting the needle and by applying one single pressure to the head (11).
The invention relates to an injection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
An apparatus of this kind is known from EP-A 0,058,536. In it, the piston of the injection cartridge is advanced by rotating the drive member of a transmission, the output member is a threaded sleeve fitting on the piston. The rotational movement of the drive member is limited by a blow An¬ and a clutch ensures that the drive member can be rotated back from the abutment without engaging the gearboxes. The drive member is rotated back amount corresponding angle of rotation in each case prior to the injection to a desired Flüssigkeits¬ and then the stop forward rotated during injection. With the known apparatus, one can not inject himself in the arm, because you hold the device during injection with one hand and has to rotate the drive member with the other hand. When limited by the stop turning there is a risk that the device and thus the needle tilts. Particularly nach¬ piece, that one can inject only a small amount of liquid with a rotary movement and for Inji¬ decorate a greater Flüssigkei 'tsmenge the drive input member - in eingestochener needle - several times back and takes a herd deer.
The invention has for its object to provide a Injek¬ tion device, to which a respective inji¬ to ornamental, any gfosse amount of liquid can be injected into the housing longitudinally placed exactly ein¬ or preselected and motion with a single Druck¬.
The inventive solution to this problem is Gegen¬ stand of claim 1. Preferred developments of the invention are defined in claims 2 - circumscribed. 13

The in figure 1 - Injection device illustrated 7 has two sleeve-shaped housing parts 1, 2. In the rear (in the drawing upper) housing part 1, a transmission 3, in the front (in the drawing lower) housing part 2, a spray ampoule 4 is arranged. It is conventional spray ampoule (carpule) having at one end a piston 5 (without piston rod), and at the other end a ver¬ by a (not shown) connected membrane outlet piece. 6 The housing part 2 has front supporting an outlet section 6, provided with a passage for the needle 7 cap member 8. The two housing parts 1 and 2 are threaded sleeve by a Ge connected 9, wherein the rear housing part 1 is bonded to the threaded sleeve and the front housing part 2 for exchanging the spray ampoule can be unscrewed from the threaded sleeve. 4
The drive member of the transmission 3 comprises a torque tube 10 on which an actuating head 11 is seated, which serves for rotating and forwardly (below) pressing the clutch column 10th The output member of the transmission 3 is composed of a threaded rod 12 which is rotationally fixedly, but longitudinally slidably inserted in the drive sleeve 10 degrees. For non-rotational support, the threaded rod is flattened on opposite sides 13 and 14, 12 and the non-threaded bore of the drive sleeve 10 is adjusted accordingly. The threaded rod 12 thus has two flat, parallel, smooth (non-threaded) longitudinal faces 13, 14 in which it is carried along by the corresponding flat inner wall surfaces of the drive sleeve 10, and two provided with the thread cylinder shell segments 15, 16, a distance from the two have smooth (non-threaded) Innnenwandflachen cylindrical sleeve 10th On the front end of the threaded rod 12 is seated a pulley 17 which serves to feed described below of the piston. 5
The gear element on which the threaded rod 12 is movably supported, is designated by the 20th The front part 21 of the transmission member 20 has a female thread 22 through which the threaded rod is screwed through 12th The rear part 23 of the gear element has a non-threaded bore in which the drive sleeve 10 is rotatably supported the coupling sleeve 10 has a kreisri'ngförmigen (flange-shaped) .25 collar which rests on the rear end of Getrie¬ beelementteils 23rd
By pressure on the head 11 of the clutch 10, the transmission member 20 from the in Figures 1 and 2 presented darge rest position against the force of a compression spring 26 in FIG. 3 - 7 shown displaced end position.. If the head 11 is released, the element 20 is pushed Getriebeele¬ zurück¬ in the rest position by the compression spring 26th
The compression spring 26 is around the central part of the Getriebe¬ elements 20 around extending helical spring you engages a formed on the element 20 the collar 27 and is supported on a sleeve-shaped supporting part 30, which forms a guide for the front part of the transmission member 20 and a radially has inwardly protruding support ring 31, which is supported on the rear edge of the ampoule. 4 The extending from the collar 27 to the front cylinder jacket of the transmission element 20 is the sleeve-shaped support member 30 adapted with play and is narrowed for adaptation to the support ring 31 at the front end. The extending from the collar 27 to the rear cylinder jacket of the transmission elemenfes 20 of the guide 34 is adapted with play and has four spaced equidistant longitudinal grooves 32. In the grooves 32 engage four longitudinal ribs 33, on the one anchored to the front part fixed in the housing part 1 guide 34 are formed so that the Getriebe¬ element 20 rotationally fixed but longitudinally slidable in the front part of the guide is mounted 34th The rear part of the guide 34 has an the annular collar 25 of the drive sleeve 10 adapted bore and on its rear end sits a head guide 35. The front part of the guide head 35 of the drive sleeve 10, the rear part is adapted to the operating head. 11 The annular shoulder or step surface 36 (Fig. 2) at the transition between the sleeve 10 and the head 11 adapted hole of the guide head 35 forms a stop for the actuating head 11. This stop 36 limits the advancing movement of the actuator head 11 and thus also the displacement of the transmission element 20. in FIG. 3 - end position of the Getriebeele¬ ment 20 illustrated 7 is thus achieved when the actuation head 11 abuts the stop 36. (Of course, the final position could also by hitting the collar 25 at the bottom. Part of the guide 34 or by hitting the Getriebe¬ defined elements 20 on the support ring 31).
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 rest position of the Getriebe¬ elements 20 of the collar 25 of the drive sleeve 10 by the spring 26 is acted upon by the transmission member 20 at the front end is pressed 37 (Fig. 3) of the guide head 35. The collar 27 of the transmission member 20 has in the rest position at a small distance from the front end of the guide 34. In order to be able to select exactly each liquid to be injected amount, a latching mechanism is provided, which in each full rotation of the actuator head 11 several times, in the present embodiment four times snaps into place, so that a perceptible latching resistance has to be overcome after each 90 degree rotation. The latching mechanism is by four at angular intervals of 90 degrees to the rear. annular end surface of the Ge gear element 23 partly formed, diametrically extending cam 38 and corresponding recesses in the strength rinnenför the transmission element 20 facing ring surface of the collar 25 of the drive sleeve 10 is formed. The cams 38 and the recesses are round in cross section, so that the locking positions without trouble but resistance to tactile Rast¬ can be overcome. The spring 26, which presses the cam 38 provided with the end face of the Getriebe¬ elements 20 to the recesses provided with the surface of the collar 25, the detent spring of Rastmecha¬ forming mechanism.
The operation of the injection device described is now described starting from the following initial situation: The transmission 3 is in the position shown in Figures 1 and 2 position.. The drive sleeve 10 and the Getriebe¬ element 20 by the spring 26 in the rest position maintained, in which the collar 25 rests against the stop 37th The Ge threaded rod 12 is fully screwed back so that the disc 17 rests against the front end of the transmission member 20th A full injection ampoule 4 is inserted into the device. Your piston 5 sits in the back end of the vial, and a little further back than shown in Fig.l and second
The first is to ensure that the needle 7 filled with liquid. For this purpose, the head is pushed forward (bottom) 11, until it abuts the stop 36th In this feed stroke h of the collar 25 20 presses the Getriebe¬ element with the seated in the female thread 22 threaded rod 12 forward against the force of the spring 26, the washer 17 abuts the piston 5 and these advances, so that a small amount of liquid from the needle 7 comes out. At the end of the feed stroke h are all in parts in Fig 3 - 7 shown position. The drive sleeve 10 and the gear element 20 are in the plane defined by the abutment of the head 11 at the end position stop 36; the disk 17 is located on the piston at the fifth.
If one 11 now releases the head 26 compresses the spring, the transmission element 20 and thus also the seated in its thread 22 threaded rod 12 with the disk 17 and the drive sleeve 10 rearwardly, until the collar 25 striking at An¬ abuts 37th This means that all parts in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 position. The transmission element 20 and the drive sleeve 10 are in their by the spring 26 has abge¬ supported rest position and the disc ', 17 a distance h from the piston 5 that exactly the stroke h corresponds to "" of the transmission member 20 between the rest position and the end position. The device is now ready for operation.
For injecting a given quantity of liquid in the head 11 in the rest position according to FIG. 1 and 2 befindlichem Getriebe¬ element 20 is first rotated (before insertion of the needle 7). Here, the locking resistance of the latching mechanism 38 must be über¬ sore after each 90 degree rotation. Each rotation of 90 degrees corresponds to a liquid unit so that the amount of liquid to be injected is calculated according to the number of to be overcome Rast¬ positions. Upon rotation of the drive sleeve 10, the entrained by their threaded rod 12 screws through the nut thread 22 of the transmission member 20 forward, whereby the distance of the disc 17 is reduced the piston 5, without the wheel contacts the piston. (The stroke h of the transmission member 20 is sized larger than the required piston stroke keitsmenge for 'injecting a liquid-maximum). After the head 11 is rotated to the desired amount of liquid - 9 -
is, the needle is inserted 7 and the head 11 is pressed against the stop 36, the transmission member 20 from the rest position in Figure 1 and shown in Fig 2 in the 3 - 7 shown is advanced end position... During this feed stroke h, the disk 17 abuts on the piston 5 and pushes it, exactly as far as the Gewinde¬ rod 12 has been rotated by the previous turning the head 11 with respect to the transmission member 20 to the front. After releasing of the head 11, the spring 26 presses the gear Ge element 20 back into the rest position, the disc 17 is removed by the stroke h of the piston. 5 For the next injection of the head 11 again as described above rotated according to the desired amount of liquid and then pressed down. To inject exactly the set amount of liquid, the feed stroke should always be done either always with an engaged or always at ausgerastetem catch mechanism. The height of the cams 38 of the latching mechanism is so small (eg only two tenths of a millimeter high) dimensioned such that the difference between the advancing stroke in the engaged and a disengaged position for the injected amount of liquid vernach¬ lässigbar, that is less than the longitudinal path of the threaded rod with a rotation is 90 degrees.
When the ampoule is empty, the housing part 2 is unscrewed from the threaded sleeve 9 and put the empty ampoule 4 heraus¬. Here, the information carried by its ring 31 from the rear end of the ampoule 4 supporting part 30 falls forward on the threaded sleeve 9. The spring 26 is released and the gear element 20 is no longer pressed against the collar 25th The head 11 can be turned back now, without the locking resistances must be overcome. This is essential because you have 12 back completely screw the threaded rod through the nut thread 22 before the onset of full vial, which requires a lot of turns. After returning the screw of the threaded rod 12 of the Ge will casing part screwed 2 with an inserted into it new, full cartridge 4 back to the threaded sleeve 9, wherein the ampule 30 pushes back the supporting part back to the positions shown in the drawing position. Thus the starting position described at the beginning is reached again.
For the protection of the needle 7 and the operating head 11 can each have a front and rear (not shown) cap on the housing parts 1 and 2 are inserted.
When in the drawing the embodiment shown, the front end of the clutch 10 has having a distance from the female thread 22, the front part 21 of the transmission element 20. The drive sleeve 10 may however also lie on the front portion 21 and the catch mechanism applied by projections and depressions on these together surfaces to be formed, wherein a distance from the rear end of the transmission member 20 in this case, the collar 25th Further, the latching mechanism could also be formed by projections and depressions on the pressed together by the force of the spring 26 surfaces of the collar 25 of the drive sleeve 10 and the stopper 37th The spring 26 could be supported instead of the support portion 30 directly on the rear edge of the Ampulle-. 4
In Figures 8 - 12 is a preferred variant of the In¬ is jektionsgeräts of figures 1 - illustrated. 7 The parts of the variant which the in connection with Figures 1 - 7 correspond mentioned parts of the injection device are illustrated in Figures 8 - 12 is provided with the same reference numerals. The variant differs as follows from the embodiment of Figures 1-7: The the drive member of the transmission 3 forming Mitneh¬ merhülse 10 consists of two firmly together verbun¬ which parts 10 ', 10' '. The rear (upper) end of the part 10 '* has a radially outwardly projecting collar 25', in which the front (lower) end of the part 10 'is seated, the front end has a radially inwardly extending projection 10 is' 1', which encloses the threaded rod 12th The firmly joined together from two parts 11 ', 11' 'existing operating head 11 does not sit firmly on the Mitnehmerhülsenteil 10' but only rotatably but longitudinally displaceable. For this purpose, the sleeve-part 10 'has at its upper end four extending in Gehäuselängs¬ direction guide ribs 40, which in ent speaking, on the inner wall of the head portion 11' seen vor¬ 'extending in the longitudinal housing direction grooves access (Fig. 10). The front end of the head portion 11 "has a projecting annularly inwardly, participants sleeve member 10 'enclosing approach 41. In the cavity of the head 11 is a compression spring 43 between the top part of the head portion 11' and the upper end edge of the sleeve part 10 clamped to Mit¬ '. in the in Fig. 8 and 9 rest position shown the head 11 is held by its neck 41 on the ribs 40 against the force of the spring 43.
The driven member of the transmission 3 forming Gewinde¬ rod 12 is flattened over their entire length to gegenüberlie¬ constricting pages 13 and 14, but only rotationally fixed in the neck 10 '' 'of the drive sleeve 10 mounted. Only this approach 10 '' 'of the drive sleeve thus has one of the threaded rod 12 fitted with two flat inner wall and two cylindrical (smooth) interior wall surfaces (according to figures 4 - 6). The remainder of the drive sleeve 10 has a cylindrical bore whose diameter is greater by a tolerance than the diameter of a collar formed at the upper end of the threaded rod 12 45. When the threaded rod 12 drives elements through the nut thread 22 of the front part 21 of the Ge 20 screwed is, the collar 45 passes through the drive sleeve 10 forward (downward) until it abuts the shoulder 10 '' 'of the drive sleeve.
The front end of the threaded rod 12 carries a pin 12 'on which the serving for the advance of the piston 5 disc sits 17th
The compression spring 26 engages a rear end of the transmission element part 23 formed collar 47 and is supported on a stationary support member 2 held '30' in the housing 1. By the spring 26 of the collar 47 against the drive sleeve formed at the collar 25 ', and this in turn against a formed at the rear end of the housing part 1, the Mitnehmerhülsenteil 10' enclosing shoulder 49 is pressed. The abutting faces of the collars 47, 25 have 'four at angular intervals of 90 radially extending cams 38 and this adapted groove-shaped recesses 50 which form a latch mechanism under the action of the spring 26th The latching mechanism formed by the cams 38 and recesses 50 corresponding to in connection with FIG 1 - explained. 7 The abutting surfaces of the collar 25 'and the shoulder 49 each have a mutually adapted, under the action of the spring 26, a locking mechanism forming sawtooth 51 (FIG. 11). The sawtooth profiles 51 on the adjacent surfaces of the collar 25 'and the shoulder 49 each have four arranged at angular intervals of 90 ° teeth, said four tooth flanks at the collar 25' in the housing longitudinal direction just above the recesses 50 of the collar 25 'and the four tooth flanks abut the shoulder 49 in the housing longitudinal direction just above the cam 38 of the gear element part 23rd The transmission element 20 is secured by provided at its voxderen part 21 guide ribs 52 in the support member 30 'slidably against rotation; the support member 30 'is fixed in the housing 1, anchors 2 and secured by ribs 54 against rotation in the housing (Fig. 12). The transmission element 20 is against the force of the spring 26 from the position shown in Figures 8 and 9 rest position by the stroke h forwardly (below) displaceable, so the extent to which the transition between the front and rear portions 21 and 23 of the transmission member 20 formed shoulder 56 of the transmission member 20 abuts' on Supports part 30th
The spring constant of spring 43 is - as explained in more detail below - is greater than that of the spring 26, the spring 43 thus harder than the spring 26 so that zusammenge¬ in pressure on the head 11 first the spring 26 presses is until the shoulder 56 'an¬ proposes the support member 30 and the spring 43 is compressed only at the further pressing of the head.
The operation of the variant of the injection device is now starting from the in Figures 8 - described initial position shown 12 in which the threaded rod is completely screwed back 12, so that the disc 17 rests against the front end of the transmission element part 21, and the piston 5 at the far end in the filled injection ampoule 4 sits. Before the first injection 7 protective caps the head 11 is pressed to fill the needle 7 with liquid to the front (below) after removal of the needle. Since the spring 43 is harder than the spring 26, the head 11 remains with respect to the drive sleeve 10 in its first position shown in Figure 8/9. The compressive force applied to the head 11 is transmitted by the spring 43 on the drive sleeve 10 which engages the collar 47 of the gear element 20 and gen ge with the seated in the female thread 22 threaded rod 12 of the force of the spring 26 to the front (below) suppressed until the shoulder 56 abuts against the support member 30 '. The head 11, the drive sleeve 10 'and the threaded rod 12 are thus in relation to the housing 1/2 h by the stroke moves forward, said on the pin 12' mounted to the threaded rod 12 pulley 17 during the stroke h on the piston 5 beats, and this then drives on the ver¬ permanent stroke slightly forward so that a small amount of fluid escapes from the ampoule through the needle 4. 7 After the shoulder 56 has posted to the support member 30 'and hence the drive sleeve 10 can not be further advanced, the head 11 moves during the further pushing against the force of the spring 43 with respect to the drive sleeve 10 to the front (below), wherein which projection 41 disengages from the rib 40 and abuts the shoulder 49 after an additional displacement z. . (As shown in Fig indicated 9, the head is thus 11 moves with respect to the shoulder 49 first - to the drive sleeve 10 and the threaded rod 12 - by the stroke h, and then - with a fixed drive sleeve 10 and the threaded rod 12 - further to the additional stroke z).
The spring constant of spring 43 is on the one hand sufficiently large. over that of the spring chosen 26 to ensure that the shoulder 41 of the head 11 remains reliably held on the ribs 40 until the counter to the force of the spring 26 and moving the friction of the piston 5 in the ampoule 4 drive sleeve 10 with its shoulder 56 strikes' on support section 30th An¬ other hand, the spring constant of the spring 43 is only ge rade selected so large that the patient hardly notice the abutment of the shoulder 56 on the support member 30 ', that is, from the patient for overcoming the force of the spring 26 and the friction of the piston 5 in the ampoule 4 not¬ maneuverable pressing force is only marginally smaller than the compressive force required for the movement of the head 11 along the Mitnehmerhülsenteils 10 'against the force of the spring 43rd The patient therefore does not recognize that the injection process is completed at the end of the stroke h and the auxiliary lift z for injection is not necessary. The purpose of this additional lifting z is to ensure that the shoulder 56 of the sleeve 10 Mitnehmer¬ for some time, namely for the additional lift required time, reliable on Stütz¬ part 30 'rests. Thus is avoided that the patient 56 'the head releases directly after the abutment of the shoulder on the support member 30 11 so that the disc 17 h at the end of the feed stroke immediately disengages from the piston 5 and the risk that the piston 5 is not remains in the advanced position but springs back slightly. Once the lug 41 hinged on the shoulder 49 and therefore the head 11 is not further be advanced, the patient leaves the head los 11, whereupon the springs 26 and 43, the drive sleeve 10 with the plate 17 bearing the threaded rod 12 and the head 11 in the move back shown in Fig. 8/9 position. (The Mit¬ participants sleeve 10 and the threaded rod 12 thereby move by the stroke h, of head 11 by the stroke h + z with respect to the housing to the rear 1/2).
For injecting a desired quantity of liquid, the patient rotates the head 11, respectively (before Ein¬ prick of the needle 7) clockwise one of the ge desired number of liquid units corresponding number of quarter turns, whereby it for each quarter. rotation (90 ° rotation), a detent position (the detent mechanism 38/50) has to be overcome, so the Flüs¬ sigkeitsmenge according to the number to be overcome forming detent positions may be sized. Upon rotation of the head 11 and therefore the rotationally fixed (guide ribs 40) connected thereto, drive sleeve 10, the entrained from Mitnehmerhülsenteil 10 '' 'Gewinde¬ whereby the distance screwed rod 12 by the nut thread 22 of the Getriebe¬ element 20 forward, the disk 17 is reduced by the piston 5, without the wheel contacts the piston. Rotation in Gegenuhr¬ clockwise direction, through which the threaded rod would be screwed 12 tergewinde in Mut¬ 22 rearwardly, prevents the locking mechanism 51. After the desired amount of liquid is selected by ent speaking turning the head 11, the needle 7 is inserted and the head to the stop (abutment of the projection 41 against the shoulder 49) to the front (below) pressed. In this case, it is ben beschrie¬ as above to the advance stroke h forward pressed first the drive sleeve 10 against the force of the spring 26 until it abuts on the support member 30 ', and then the head 11 to the additional stroke z against the force of the spring 43 moves on the drive sleeve 10 with respect. During the advance stroke h, the disk 17 abuts on the piston 5 and pushes it as far in front, as the threaded rod 12 has been rotated by the previous turning the head in the nut thread 22 of the transmission member 20 to the front. The additional stroke z gewähr¬ makes the process as explained above, that the Mitnehmer¬ sleeve 10 with the threaded rod 12 during some time * remains at the end of the feed stroke h, and the piston 5 during this time through the disk 17 in the term rich¬ end position is held so that it relief according to the Ent no longer recedes.
If after frequent use of the device, the ampoule 4 is almost empty, the collar 45 passes the Gewinde¬ rod 12 to the part 10 '' 'of the drive sleeve. There is then finally one of the event that the patient wants to inject a certain number of liquid units, but the head 11 can no longer turn to a corresponding number of quarter-turns, because the collar 45 'strikes during the twists on part 10' '. So the patient knows that he can inject only one of the already executed number corresponding quarter turns and not all his desired amount of liquid. The length of the threaded rod or the position of the collar 45 is dimensioned such that the piston 5 h at the advance stroke of the appended with its collar 45 on the part 10 '' 'of the drive sleeve threaded rod 12 can be inserted even vorge reliably without front at the to strike narrowing of the vial. 4 So that the patient has the guarantee that the number of liquid units which he has set by rotating the head 11 until the abutment of the collar part 45 on the IQ * '', can be reliably injected. And if he wants to inject a certain number of liquid units, the head but can no longer turn to the appropriate number of quarter turns, it indicates this to him that he must use a new vial or a new injection device to a twice injection (first the rest to avoid from the old cartridge and then the remaining difference from the new ampoule). *
The injection device may be disposable device carries out 'or ampoule 4 can be replaced. When the ampoule is replaced 4, the threaded rod must be screwed back 12 by turning the head 11 in the counterclockwise direction by the nut thread 22 until the plate 17 abuts on the front edge of the transmission element part 21st For this purpose, the locking mechanism 51 forming the Säge¬ must tooth profile surface of the collar 25 'from that of the shoulder are dissolved 49th This can, as described in connection with Fig. 1 - are described 7 / achieved in that the support member is held for 30 'of the ampoule 4 in the housing half so that it falls upon removal of the vial downwardly, whereby the spring 26 relieved, and both the ratchet 51 and the locking mechanism 38 is released 50th When the Stütz¬ part 30 'is firmly anchored in the housing half, the head 11 can be pressed slightly forward (downward), so that the sawtooth profile of the Mitnehmerkragens 25' of the sawtooth profile of the shoulder 49 dissolves.
