Abstract

The invention relates to an injection device (10) having a housing (15) and an injection fluid container (12) which can move, in relation to this housing, between a distal and proximal end position, and also having a pushrod (14) to act on a plunger (23) in this container (12) for the purpose of expelling fluid from the container. A drive connection (27) is provided between the pushrod (14) and the container (12) and, in the distal end position of the container, this drive connection is effective in both the proximal and the distal direction, but in the proximal end position of the container (12), it is only effective when the pushrod (14) is moved in the distal direction.
