Patent Images
1. Lancet wheel, comprising:
- a plurality of lancets in a ring-shaped arrangement, said lancets including a lancet body that ends in a lancet tip;
a carrier that carries the lancets, wherein the carrier extends within a plane, wherein the lancets are connected to the carrier via bars that permit mobility of the lancets relative to the carrier out of the plane of the carrier;
wherein the lancets lie flat within the plane of the carrier; and
wherein the bars are bendable to allow the lancets bend out of the plane of the carrier during lancing.

Abstract
The invention is related to a lancet wheel (1) having a plurality of lancets (2) in a ring-shaped arrangement, the lancets (2) comprising a lancet body (4) that ends in a lancet tip (3). A lancet wheel (1) according to the invention has a carrier (5) that carries the lancets (2), whereby the lancets (2) are connected to the carrier (5) via bars (7, 7a, 7b, 7c) that allow for mobility of the lancets (2) relative to the carrier (5).

15. Puncturing system, comprising:
-
a lancet wheel that comprises a plurality of lancets in a ring-shaped arrangement, said lancets comprising a lancet body that ends in a lancet tip, and a frame that carries the lancets, wherein the frame extends within a plane, wherein the lancets are connected to the frame via bars that allow for mobility of the lancets relative to the plane of the frame, wherein the lancets extend within the plane of the frame at a first position, a swivel facility for erecting the lancets of the lancet wheel for a puncture, wherein the swivel is configured to bend the bars of the lancet to a second position where the lancet is erected orthogonal to the plane of the frame, and a puncturing drive for moving an erected lancet for a puncture. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A lancet wheel, comprising:
-
a carrier having a ring shape, wherein the carrier extends within a plane; a plurality of lancets oriented in a ring-shaped arrangement within the carrier, wherein each of the lancets has a base and a lancet tip that extends from the base; both sides of each lancet are configured to be connected to the carrier via at least a first bar and a second bar, wherein the first bar has one end connected to the carrier, wherein the second bar has one end connected to the base of the lancet, wherein the first bar and the second bar extend in a longitudinal direction relative to the lancet tip; and wherein the first bar and the second bar are coupled to one another to form a zigzag configuration during lancing to permit movement of the lancet in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the carrier while minimizing lateral movement of the lancet. - View Dependent Claims (18)
