Patent ID: 8042711

Claim:
Receiving device in a dosage-dispensing device, configured to receive an insertion unit that can be inserted in the receiving device, wherein the receiving device comprises: a plurality of support arms that are arranged parallel to each other and extend in their lengthwise direction substantially orthogonal to a direction of gravity, wherein: at least two of said support arms are arranged in planes lying above one another relative to the direction of gravity; at least two of the support arms each comprise at least one support location, and in an operating state of a dosage-dispensing device the support locations are configured to support an insertion unit against a force of gravity by way of seating locations that are formed on the insertion unit; each support arm comprises at least one guide surface area and at least one protrusion configured to position the insertion unit in a plane that extends from the support location orthogonal to the direction of gravity, a main dimension of the protrusion being directed essentially against the direction of gravity; a locking element configured such that when an insertion unit is inserted in the receiving device, a movement of the insertion unit against the direction of gravity can be prevented; and when an insertion unit is inserted in the receiving device, the protrusions reach into recesses that are formed on the insertion unit.
