Abstract

An injection device has a housing (12) in which a container (14) for receiving an injectable fluid (18) is longitudinally movable. To its proximal end, an injection needle (26) can be releasably coupled. The injection device has a spring (50) associated with a releasable detent (52) for latching this spring (50) in a cocked configuration (FIG. 2). Further, there is a cocking member (40) insertable into the proximal end of the housing (12) for moving the longitudinally movable container (14) in the distal direction and for thereby bringing the spring (50) into the cocked configuration.
