12 fig7 the coupling elements comprise a coupling 12 linearly guided on the threaded rod 9 the teeth 12 a of which are able to mesh with teeth 11 a of the operating element 11 and a dose setting knob 13 fig8 which absorbs the force applied by the user and transmits it to the coupling 12 the restrictor elements comprise a restrictor sleeve 8 fig1 which constitutes a maximum dose restriction or restrictor 300 in conjunction with the thread end 9 a of the threaded rod 9 and a counter rotation lock 7 fig1 which prevents the threaded rod 9 from being rotated in one direction relative to the housing 6 it snaps axially with the restrictor sleeve 8 by snappers 7 a and in conjunction with it constitutes a radial dose clicking mechanism including in part arms 7 b fig1 illustrates an embodiment of a dose setting device in accordance with the present application whereby the dose setting function in other words the movement by which the outwardly rotated operating element 11 is pushed in as the dose is being primed is transmitted by a rotating movement of the coupling 12 which is coupled after priming directly to the threaded rod 9 accordingly the embodiment of.
