DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] FIGS. 1 and 2 each show in different states a device 1 for the needle tube 2 of a syringe, which comprises a housing 4 pivotably formed on a carrier element 3 for the needle tube 2. As can particular be seen in FIG. 2, the housing 4 can be pivoted about a pivot axis 5 relative to a carrier element 3, such that the needle tube 2 is exposed for injection. The housing 4 has an open housing side 7 in the pivoting plane 6 of the housing 4, such that the needle tube 2 can be pivoted into the housing 4 after injection use, as documented in FIG. 1.

[0020] As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, in this case the rear free end 8 of the needle tube 2 in the carrier element 3 is arranged in such a manner as to allow controlled piercing of the wall 9 of a container 10 inserted in the carrier element 3, as documented in the condition in FIG. 4. There it can be seen that the needle tube tip 11, which is slightly beveled, has penetrated into the container 10. The process of penetration or tapping is achieved here in that the rear free end 8 of the needle tube 2 by the pivoting and rotating movement of the inserted container 10 relative to the carrier element 3. To make this possible, the carrier element 3 comprises a housing 12 in which an inner part 13 is arranged, which is rotatably mounted and can be displaced therein. This can be seen particularly in FIGS. 3 and 4, and also in FIG. 5.

[0021] The inner part 13 is in operative connection with the housing 12 via a slide guide 14, as can be seen in more detail in FIGS. 1 and 2. The slide guide 14 comprises a sliding track 15 running under an inclination in the housing wall in which track a pin 16 engages which is molded onto the wall of the inner part 13. It will be appreciated, looking at the side view of FIG. 1, that if the housing 12 of the carrier element 3 is rotated or pivoted relative to the container 10, the pin 16 is guided accordingly in the sliding track 15, whereby a controlled operation of the inner part 13 in the housing 12 takes place, such that the attached container 10 travels along a displacement path into the carrier element 3.

[0022] If the path of the sliding, track 15 is traversed, the situation of FIG. 4 results, where particularly rear free end 8 of the needle tube 2 penetrates the wall 9 of the container 10. In this situation, the vial can be emptied such that the liquid held therein can be injected through the needle tube 2 from the vial configured as a container 10.

[0023] In another embodiment, the inner part 13, which is rotatable and displaceably mounted in the housing 12, has a sleeve-like receptacle 17 in the upper region for the extraction area of the container 10. The extraction area of the container 10 is configured here as a cylindrical spigot 18. According to a particular embodiment, guides for the extraction area of the container 10 are provided in the sleeve-like receptacle 17 to ensure limited insertion of the container 10 into the carrier element 3 to prevent unintentional tapping of the container 10.

[0024] As can be seen in particular from the synopsis of FIGS. 3 and 4, a cap 19 with a diaphragm 20 provided at the bottom is placed on the nozzle 18, which is inserted in the sleeve-like receptacle 17 and locked in place when inserted. The individual detents 21 are indicated in FIGS. 3 and 4 such that a secure connection is ensured as a result of the attached cap 19, particularly a connection of the socket 18 to the carrier element 3.

[0025] As can further be seen particularly from both. FIGS. 3 and 4, the inner part 13 has a lower receptacle 22 in the lower region for the hub integration 23 of the needle tube 2. In this case, the hub integration 23 is engaged in detent positions in the receptacle 22, wherein the hub integration 23 directly and firmly abuts in the receptacle 22 of the inner part 13, particularly in the second detent position, such that, as a result, safe penetration through the wall 9 takes place in the end position of the hub integration 23. The deem positions shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 correspond to the displacement of the inner part 13 in the housing 12 of the carrier element 3 when the sliding guide 14 is operated.
