A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964132B2) discloses an injection device designed for administering substances. The device comprises a housing, a syringe with a needle, a plunger rod, at least one retaining element, and a displaceable lock with a protective sleeve. The protective sleeve surrounds the needle in a first position and exposes it in a second position, triggered by the user pushing the device onto a surface. The device features radially projecting lugs and grooves that generate initial resistance when the protective sleeve is pushed back, ensuring controlled needle exposure during manual piercing.

Furthermore, the injection device includes additional features such as a protective sleeve spring, retaining elements for locking the device after use, and an injection spring for dispensing the substance. The protective sleeve is designed with two axially extending arms and radially projecting lugs for secure positioning within the housing. The device also incorporates a releasable catch connection and a locking mechanism that generates audible clicks to indicate the device's locked state. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated injection device with multiple safety features and mechanisms to ensure precise and controlled substance administration.
