Abstract

An injection apparatus has a barrel (50) that is adapted to receive a container (108) with injection fluid (110). It further comprises a piston rod (98), provided with a thread (100), for expelling injection fluid (110) from such a container (108), which piston rod (98) is guided relative to the barrel (50) in the axial direction (112, 114). Additionally provided is a threaded part (122) whose thread (120) is in engagement with the thread (100) of the piston rod (98), which threaded part (122) is rotatable relative to the piston rod (98) and relative to the barrel (50) in order to set an injection dose, and, during an injection operation, is prevented from rotating relative to the piston rod (98).
