The friction layers 9 correspond tocontact surfaces 13 on the cartridge 3 and when the friction layers 9 and the contact surfaces make contact the two units are “locked” relative to each other and move together. -
FIG. 1 also shows thereservoir 2 when this is pushed half-way into the position of the housing 1, in this half-way position thefilling needle 4 does not penetrate the septum ormembrane 10 which is protecting the entrance of thereservoir 2. Thereservoir 2 according to this embodiment is also provided with an illustrative piston with which liquid has been pushed out of thereservoir 2 during use and emptying of thereservoir 2. When filling the reservoir with liquid from the cartridge 3 thepiston 14 is pulled back causing a reduced pressure in thereservoir 2 and this reduced pressure will transport liquid contained in the cartridge via the flow path provided by thefilling needle 4 into thereservoir 2. The removal of liquid from thecartridge 2, which is a closed container with rigid walls, will reduce the pressure in the cartridge 3 and if air or other gas is not let into the inner room of the cartridge 3 then it will be necessary to assure that thepiston 14 seal tightly toward the inner walls of thereservoir 2 in order to be able to provide a reduced pressure which can overcome the low pressure in the cartridge 3. - Instead of increasing the quality of the
reservoir piston 2 it can be more convenient to prevent the pressure inside the cartridge 3 to drop to low and this can be done e.g. as suggested according to the present embodiment of the filling device by letting air or other gas into the cartridge through theventing needle 5. -
FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of a filling device according to the present invention. According to this embodiment the penetratingmember 5 a and the ventingvalve 5 b are separated from each other. The ventingvalve 5 a transfers gas or air from the outside of the housing 1 into theclean room 11 between therotary part 7 and the separatingwall 8. According to this embodiment therotary part 7 must provide an airtight seal against the walls of the housing 1. The penetratingmember 5 a has a blunt end turned toward thereservoir 2 and a pointed end turned toward the membrane of the cartridge 3. When the cartridge 3 is pushed into position the penetratingmember 5 a will penetrate themembrane 6 and provide a flow path for clean gas/air between theclean room 11 formed between therotary part 7 and the separatingwall 8 and the innerclean room 11 of the cartridge 3. Gas will flow through this flow path when the pressure is reduced in thereservoir 2 as thepiston 14 is pulled back. - As in the embodiment of
FIG. 1 the fillingneedle 4 is provided with two pointed ends respectively penetrating themembrane 6 of the cartridge 3 and themembrane 10 of thereservoir 2 when these two devices are pushed into each their position. - The housing 1 of the filling device according to the present invention need not be cylindrical or have a round profile but it should be able to provide a close fit between the
rotary part 7 and the inner surface of the housing 1 especially according to the embodiment ofFIG. 2 where it is necessary to have clean atmosphere in the room between therotary part 7 and the separatingwalls 8. If the inner surface of the housing at this position is not round it could be provided with a round track e.g. formed in a protruding part of the inner surface of the walls of the housing 1. - The liquid contained in the cartridge will often be a kind of medication which advantageously can be continuously administrated to a patient. This medication could e.g. be insulin which can be continuously administered to patients with diabetes. In this case the cartridge 3 could be a glass ampoule containing an apportioned amount of insulin.
