Patent ID: 10695493

Abstract:
A pen includes a carpule having a longitudinal axis, a first end with a dispensing opening closable by a closure part, a second end via which at least one stopper can be inserted in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and an interior that is tightly closed by the closure part and the at least one stopper. A pen housing has a central axis, receives the carpule, and has a piston rod that interacts with the at least one stopper and a drive for moving the at least one stopper within the interior of the carpule, wherein the second end of the carpule can be inserted into the housing. The drive element moves the carpule into the housing in the direction of the longitudinal axis, which is arranged coaxially to the central axis of the housing, when the drive is activated; and in the process the piston rod is held in a fixed position with respect to the longitudinal direction of the housing such that the piston rod, which is engaged in the second end of the carpule, moves the at least one stopper within the interior of the carpule in the direction of the first end of the carpule.
