E-Module with Interface-Proof Inductive Sensing
First Claim
1. An injection device comprising a dose setting module comprising at least one sensor element and at least one sensor actuating element, wherein the at least one sensor element and at least one sensor actuating element at least partially overlap along a longitudinal axis of the injection device and can be moved into at least one position in which they at least partially overlap circumferentially relative to the injection device, and wherein the at least one sensor element generates a magnetic field and, in the at least one position, the at least one sensor actuating element causes a change in the magnetic field.
