Abstract

A delivery system for delivering medical or pharmaceutical compounds includes a container, a closure element, an attachment element and a penetration element. The container contains the compounds and has a closed container bottom and an open second end. The closure element makes fluid-tight contact with the inner wall of the container. The penetration element has a hollow needle and moves along the longitudinal axis of the container. The penetration element includes a first link motion portion, and the attachment element includes a second link motion portion. One of the link motion portions is a projection, and the other is a guiding groove. As the projection moves in the guiding groove, the hollow needle of the penetration element moves towards the container bottom and penetrates the closure element. The penetration element moves inside the attachment element towards the container bottom based on how the projection travels in the guiding groove.
