Patent ID: 7521022

Claim:
Holding device ( 1 ) with a holding container ( 2 ) for a holding vessel, wherein the holding container ( 2 ) surrounds a holding chamber ( 7 ) with a container wall ( 6 ), and in the direction of a longitudinal axis ( 8 ) comprises a proximal and a distal end ( 9 , 10 ) spaced apart from one another, whereby the container wall ( 6 ) is delimited by an inner surface ( 11 ) facing the holding chamber ( 7 ) and an outer surface ( 12 ) facing away therefrom, with a needle holder ( 4 ) for a needle arrangement ( 14 ) which can be secured thereon, whereby the needle holder ( 4 ) in the holding chamber ( 7 ) of the holding container ( 2 ) is designed to be displaceable relative to the holding container from a position of use in the region of the proximal end ( 9 ) to a disposal position in the direction of the distal end ( 10 ), with a first adjusting device ( 15 ) for the needle holder ( 4 ) for the displacement from the position use into the disposal position, with a cover element ( 3 ) for the needle arrangement ( 14 ) securable to the needle holder ( 4 ) in the disposal position of the needle holder ( 4 ) and with a releasable locking device ( 16 ), wherein the cover element ( 3 ) is formed by a disc-shaped main body ( 21 ) aligned in a plane ( 20 ) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis ( 8 ), whereby the cover element ( 3 ) in the position of use of the needle holder ( 4 ) is arranged adjacent thereto on the side pointing away from the proximal end ( 9 ) in the holding chamber ( 7 ), and in that the releasable locking device ( 16 ) is arranged between the cover element ( 3 ) and the holding container ( 2 ), with which the cover element ( 3 ) in the position of use of the needle holder ( 4 ) is held relative to the holding container ( 2 ), and wherein between the needle holder ( 4 ) and the cover element ( 3 ) an additional adjusting device ( 17 ) is arranged formed by an elastically deformable spring element ( 19 ), whereby on releasing the locking device ( 16 ) the cover element ( 3 ) is displaced relative to the needle holder ( 4 ) in the direction of the longitudinal axis ( 8 ) by the additional adjusting device ( 17 ) in the direction of the distal end ( 10 ) of the holding container ( 2 ).
