An injection device (210; 110) is provided that includes a housing (212; 112) adapted to receive a syringe (214; 114) that is movable between a retracted position, in which its needle (218; 118) is contained within the housing, and an extended position, in which its needle (218; 118) extends from the housing (212; 112) through an exit aperture (228; 128). The device (210; 110) includes a drive (230, 231, 232, 234; 130, 131, 132, 134) that acts upon the syringe (214; 114) to advance it from its retracted position to its extended position and to discharge its contents through its needle (218; 118). A syringe carrier (222; 122) is advanced with the syringe (214; 114) and a sleeve (219; 119) restrains the advancement of the syringe carrier (222; 122) as the syringe (214; 114) reaches its extended position. A damping element (225; 125) acts between the syringe carrier (222; 122) and the sleeve (219; 119) to cushion the impact as they come into contact, thereby reducing the transmission of energy from the impact to the components of the drive (230, 231, 232, 234; 130, 131, 132, 134) and preventing their fracture. The damping element (225; 125) also reduces the noise, which may be distressing to a user of the device (210; 110), produced when the syringe carrier (222; 122) and the sleeve (219; 119) come into contact and reduces the pain suffered by a user upon operation of the device (210; 110).제공된 주사 장치(210; 110)는 주사기 캐리어와 슬리브가 접촉함으로써 충격을 완충하도록 주사기 캐리어(222; 122)와 슬리브(219; 119) 사이에서 작용하여, 구동부의 부품(230, 231, 232, 234; 130, 131, 132, 134)들에 대한 충격으로부터 에너지의 전달을 감소시키고 파손을 방지하는 댐핑 요소(225; 125)를 포함한다. 댐핑 요소(225; 125)는 또한 주사기 캐리어(222; 122)와 슬리브(219; 119)가 접촉할 때 만들어져 장치(210; 110)의 사용자를 괴롭힐 수 있는 소음을 감소시키고, 장치(210; 110)의 동작으로 사용자가 받을 수 있는 고통을 감소시킨다.
