Abstract
A device (1) for assembly of a pharmaceutical application aid (51), particularly a pen, is proposed. The device (1) is characterized by a holding device (3) for fixation of a first housing sleeve (5) that accommodates a pharmaceutical container, particularly a carpule (23), and by a stop (43) for limiting a displacement of a second housing sleeve (35) relative to the first housing sleeve (5).

32. An assembly device for assembly of a pharmaceutical application pen having a first housing sleeve for receiving a carpule and a second housing sleeve, the second housing sleeve displaceable a first axial distance relative to the first housing sleeve for assembly of the pharmaceutical application pen and displaceable a second, further distance for dispensing a treatment therefrom, the device comprising:
-
an accommodation unit for accommodating and guiding the first housing sleeve; a holding device for fixating the first housing sleeve within the device; a stop element for limiting insertion of the first housing sleeve into the device in an axial direction; and a stop for abutting a surface of the second housing sleeve and limiting displacement of the second housing sleeve relative to the first housing sleeve in the axial direction. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)

48. An assembly device for assembly of a pharmaceutical application pen in combination with the pharmaceutical application pen, the pharmaceutical application pen having a first housing sleeve for receiving a carpule and a second housing sleeve, the device comprising:
-
an accommodation unit accommodating and guiding the first housing sleeve; a holding device fixing the first housing sleeve within the device, the holding device extends through openings in the accommodation unit for engaging the first housing sleeve; a stop element limiting insertion of the first housing sleeve into the device in an axial direction; a stop for abutting a surface of the second housing sleeve and limiting displacement of the second housing sleeve relative to the first housing sleeve to a first axial distance; a first sensor for sensing a specific position of the first housing sleeve within the device, the first sensor operative to automatically activate the holding device to fixate the first housing sleeve within the device upon sensing of the first housing sleeve in the specific position; and a second sensor for detecting when the second housing sleeve abuts the stop, wherein the second housing sleeve is displaceable the first axial distance relative to the second housing sleeve for assembly of the a pharmaceutical application pen and displaceable a second, further distance for dispensing a treatment therefrom.

49. A method of assembling a pharmaceutical application pen with an assembly device, the pharmaceutical application pen having a first housing sleeve and a second housing sleeve, the method comprising:
-
inserting the first housing sleeve into an accommodation unit of the assembly device; limiting insertion of the first housing sleeve in the axial direction into the device with a stop element; securing the first housing sleeve in a holding device in both a radial direction and an axial direction; displacing the second housing sleeve relative to the first housing sleeve a first axial distance, wherein displacement of the second housing sleeve relative to the first housing sleeve is limited to the first axial distance by a stop abutting a surface of the second housing sleeve.

50. A method of assembling a pharmaceutical application pen with an assembly device, the pharmaceutical application pen having a first housing sleeve and a second housing sleeve, the method comprising:
-
inserting the carpule into the first housing sleeve; and detecting the carpule in the first housing sleeve with a sensor. - View Dependent Claims (51)
