Claim:
An injector cap for an ampoule support, comprising: a sliding sleeve mounted slidably on said ampoule support, wherein said sliding sleeve is forced by a pre-tensioning means into a first position in which the sliding sleeve covers a cannula, and wherein said sliding sleeve can be slid against the pre-tensioning means into a second position in which said cannula emerges from a front facing end of said sliding sleeve; and a blocking means for non-detachably blocking the sliding sleeve against sliding again into the second position when the sliding sleeve has been returned from the second position to the first position, wherein the blocking means includes a locking ring disposed inside and proximate at a front end of the sliding sleeve when the sliding sleeve is forced by the pre-tensioning means into the first position, and the locking ring is engageably moved along with the cannula back to the first position to help block the sliding sleeve against sliding again into the second position when the sliding sleeve has been returned from the second position to the first position.
