1. Protection device (1) intended to at least partially cover the needle (2) of an injection device, the said protection device (1) comprising at least:
- a support (3) provided with fixing means (9) intended to secure the said protection device (1) to an injection device,a sleeve (4) comprising a distal end (15) intended to come into contact with an injection surface and provided with an orifice intended to allow the said needle to pass, the said sleeve (4) being arranged in such a way as to be moveable axially in translation with respect to the said support (3) from a first position known as the storage position, in which the distal end of the said sleeve (4) is at a distance 11 from the said fixing means, to a second position known as the injection position, in which the distal end of the said sleeve (4) is at a distance 12 from the said fixing means, and to a third position known as the protection position, in which the distal end of the said sleeve (4) is at a distance 13 from the said fixing means, the said distances 11 and 13 being greater than the said distance 12,first return means (14) for returning the said sleeve (4) at least from its injection position to its protection position,characterized in that the said protection device (1) comprises at least;
axial guidance means (29, 30) for guiding the said sleeve (4), arranged in such a way as to prevent it from pivoting axially as it moves axially with respect to the said support (3) at least from its injection position to its protection position,at least one peg (6), directly and at least elastically, coupled longitudinally to the said support (3) or to the said sleeve (4) and housed in a running passageway (10) provided respectively in the said sleeve (4) or in the said support (3), the said running passageway (10) forming more or less a U, of which the branches respectively define a first section (11) taken by the said peg (6) as the said sleeve (4) moves from its storage position to its injection position and a second section (12) taken by the said peg (6) as the said sleeve (4) passes from its injection position to its protection position, the said peg (6) being designed to be laterally mobile,first safety means (5, 21;
39, 34, 35), at least part of them being elastically deform able, sail first safety means (5, 21;
39, 36, 34, 35) being arranged in such a way as to prevent the said peg (6) from returning from the said second section (12) to the said first section (11).

Abstract
The present invention relates to a protection device (1) intended to at least partially cover the needle (2) of an injection device, comprising:
- a support (3) of the protection device (1),
- a sleeve (4) movable axially in translation with respect to the support (3),
- means (14) for returning the sleeve (4) from an injection position to a protection position,
- axial guidance means (29, 30) for preventing the sleeve (4) from pivoting with respect to the said support (3),
- one peg (6) directly and at least elastically, coupled longitudinally to the support (3) or the sleeve (4) and housed in a passageway (10) defining a first section (11) and a second section (12) followed by the peg (6) from a storage position to the injection position and then to the protection position,
- first safety means (21; 36, 34, 35) part of them being elastically deformable, arranged in a way as to prevent the peg from returning from the second section to the first section.
The invention also relates to a set comprising packaging (26) for the said device and the said device.
