Device and method for mounting a pharmaceutical application aid
First Claim
1. An assembly device for assembly of a pharmaceutical application pen having a first housing sleeve for receiving a carpule and a second housing sleeve, the second housing sleeve displaceable a first axial distance relative to the first housing sleeve for assembly of the pharmaceutical application pen and displaceable a second distance for dispensing a treatment from the pharmaceutical application pen, the device comprising:
- an accommodation unit for accommodating and guiding the first housing sleeve;
a holding device for fixating the first housing sleeve within the device;
a stop element for limiting insertion of the first housing sleeve into the device in an axial direction;
a stop for abutting a surface of the second housing sleeve and limiting displacement of the second housing sleeve relative to the first housing sleeve in the axial direction; and
a first sensor for sensing a specific position of the first housing sleeve within the device, the first sensor operative to automatically activate the holding device to fixate the first housing sleeve within the device upon sensing of the first housing sleeve in the specific position.

Abstract
A device (1) for assembly of a pharmaceutical application aid (51), particularly a pen, is proposed. The device (1) is characterized by a holding device (3) for fixation of a first housing sleeve (5) that accommodates a pharmaceutical container, particularly a carpule (23), and by a stop (43) for limiting a displacement of a second housing sleeve (35) relative to the first housing sleeve (5).
