First Claim
1. A lancing depth-adjustable lancing apparatus for moving a lancing element held in a housing in a lancing direction to lance skin with the lancing element, the lancing apparatus comprising a lancing depth adjustment mechanism for adjusting lancing depth of the lancing element in the skin;
- wherein the lancing depth adjustment mechanism comprises a displacing member which is movable relative to the housing in the lancing direction or in a retreating direction which is opposite from the lancing direction, a cover which is movable with the displacing member in the lancing and the retreating directions, and a stepped portion provided at the housing for restricting the movement of the lancing element in the lancing direction when the lancing element moves in the lancing direction.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a lancing depth-adjustable lancing apparatus (1) for moving a lancing element (21) held in a housing (3) in a lancing direction (N1) to lance skin with the lancing element (21). The lancing apparatus (1) includes a lancing depth adjustment mechanism for adjusting lancing depth of the lancing element (21) in the skin. The lancing depth adjustment mechanism includes a displacing member (6) which is movable relative to the housing (3) in the lancing or the retreating direction (N1, N2), a cover (7) which is movable with the displacing member (6) in the lancing or the retreating directions (N1, N2), and a stepped portion (37) provided at the housing (3) for restricting the movement of the lancing element (21) in the lancing direction (N1) when the lancing element (21) moves in the lancing direction (N1).
