1. An injection device for apportioning set doses of a liquid drug from a reservoir comprising:
a housing supporting the reservoir, a dose setting member which is rotated relatively to the housing in order to set a dose, a piston rod or plunger (40) for moving forward in a cartridge to press medication out of the cartridge, wherein the piston rod does not rotate during the setting of a dose, which is accomplished by rotating the dose setting member, a track provided on an inside surface of the housing, which track has an end-wall defining a length that corresponds to the initial amount of liquid in the reservoir, and a track follower coupled to both the housing and the dose setting member, which track follower engages the track, whereby the track and the track follower are rotated relatively to each other when a dose is set and kept relatively irrotatable when the set dose is injected such that the track follower is moved along in the track when setting a dose having a position in the track representing the summarized set doses, and whereby the track follower engages the end-wall of the track when the summarized set doses equals the initial amount of liquid in the reservoir thereby preventing a user from setting a dose larger than the remaining content of the reservoir, wherein the housing is provided with a transparent area in which the track follower is visible. |
