`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`The invention relates to an insertion device comprising-a
`penetrating member (50) connected to transformation means
`(52), -a moving part (38) comprising guiding means (39)
`which guiding means (39) restrict the movement of the
`transformation means (52) and guide the penetrating mem(cid:173)
`ber (50) from a first to a second position in a first direction,
`i.e. the direction of insertion, towards the injection site,
`and-a stationary housing (30) comprising guiding means
`(32) which guiding means (32) restrict the movement of the

`
`moving part (38). The guiding means (32) guide the moving
`part (38) in a second direction which is linear and different
`from the first direction i.e. the direction of insertion.
