Injection device
First Claim
1. Injection device to inject particular, selectable quantities of liquid from a liquid receptacle (4), in particular an ampoule (4), fitted with a plunger (5) and comprising a manual, tubular actuation system (7),comprising an output member (9, 19) displaceable in the direction of advance of the plunger (5), an operating head (8) which can be moved axially and rotationally, further a drive element (11) which can rotate relative to the output member (9, 19) seated inside it, and a guide element (24) for the output member (9, 19)wherein upon axial displacement of the operating head (8) the drive element (11) is displaceable in the direction of advance of the plunger (5) from a rest position into an end position and back and where this motion is transmitted to the output member (9, 19) connected to the drive element (11),wherein for the rest position the output member (9, 19) moved away from the plunger (5) by rotating the operating head (8) can be displaced by the drive element (11) in the direction of advance in relation to a plunger stroke required for the related particular quantity of liquid which must be injected without the output member (9, 19) thereby touching the plunger, andwherein during the transit of the drive element (9, 19) from the rest position to the end position the output member (9, 19) impacts the plunger (5) which is thereby displaced along a pre-set plunger path, characterized in thatthe drive element (11) is non-rotatably connected to the operating head (8) and both carry out jointly all their motions,the guide element (24) is rigidly affixed to the rear part (3) of the device (1),the output member (9, 19) is non-rotatably supported in the guide element (24),the guide element (24) is in front of the drive element (11) inside the actuation system (7).

Abstract
The invention concerns an injection device (1) receiving in exchangeable manner an ampoule (4) with a plunger (5) and an injection needle (6). It further comprises an actuation means (7) essentially consisting of an operating head (8), a drive element (11), a guide element (24) and an output member (9, 19) preferably in the form of a rod (9) and flange (19). The output member is non-rotatably affixed to the guide element (11) itself rigidly mounted inside the device (1) and seated by its own thread in an internal thread (27) of the drive element (11) which can be displaced axially and into rotation by the manual operating head (8). When rotating the operating head (8), the output member (9, 19) is advanced and in the process forces forward the plunger (5), the result being injection. The stationary guide element (24) of the disclosed device is located axially ahead of the axially displaceable drive element (11). Accordingly the length of the actuation system (7) is shorter than in state-of-the-art injection devices, whereby a larger maximum dose can be injected with a device (1) of the same length. The device (1) is applicable in medicine.
