Patent ID: 7749201

Claim:
A device for administering an injectable product, comprising: a) a housing with a reservoir for the product; b) a conveying mechanism moveable from a release position in which a product dose is able to be set to a triggering position and from the triggering position performs a conveying movement by which the set product dose is dispensed from the reservoir, wherein the conveying mechanism forms a locating element; and c) a dose metering mechanism for performing dose metering movements into dose setting positions, each predefined by a catch engagement, to set the product dose when the conveying mechanism assumes the release position, wherein the dose metering mechanism forms a guide extending over an axial path length along which the locating element moves as the conveying mechanism moves from the release position to the triggering position, wherein d) the conveying mechanism is coupled to the dose metering mechanism by a blocking engagement in the triggering position and during the movement from the release position into the triggering position, said blocking engagement blocks the dose metering mechanism against dose metering movements away from a set dose setting position, wherein, e) in the set dose positions, the guide and the locating element are in a releasable catch engagement, and as the conveying mechanism and locating element move from the release position to the triggering position, the locating element is guided along the guide over the axial path length and pivots radially relative to the guide to establish the blocking engagement, wherein the guide and the locating element are free of one another when the conveying mechanism is in the release position.
