Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A puncturing device, comprising: a puncturing unit including an exchangeable puncturing insert; a driving unit, connected to the puncturing unit, comprising a body, a ram disposed within the body, the ram having a first end and a second end, the first end of the ram pointing towards the puncturing insert and the second end of the ram being sustained in the body, and a driving spring surrounding the ram and disposed between the first end of the ram and the second end of the ram; and a triggering unit, mounted on the driving unit, comprising a button and an inner projection pointing towards the second end of the ram, wherein the puncturing unit, the driving unit and the triggering unit are and remain aligned along a common longitudinal axis, and wherein a longitudinal axis of the ram, when the driving spring is loaded, is angled away from said common longitudinal axis and when the driving spring is unloaded, the longitudinal axis of the ram is substantially aligned and coextensive with said common axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
173 words
A puncturing device, comprising: a puncturing unit including an exchangeable puncturing insert; a driving unit, connected to the puncturing unit, comprising a body, a ram disposed within the body, the ram having a first end and a second end, the first end of the ram pointing towards the puncturing insert and the second end of the ram being sustained in the body, and a driving spring surrounding the ram and disposed between the first end of the ram and the second end of the ram; and a triggering unit, mounted on the driving unit, comprising a button and an inner projection pointing towards the second end of the ram, wherein the puncturing unit, the driving unit and the triggering unit are and remain aligned along a common longitudinal axis, and wherein a longitudinal axis of the ram, when the driving spring is loaded, is angled away from said common longitudinal axis and when the driving spring is unloaded, the longitudinal axis of the ram is substantially aligned and coextensive with said common axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
