A drug delivery device is provided comprising a cartridge holder comprising at least one guide track, and a body comprising at least one interaction member adapted and arranged to mechanically cooperate with the at least one guide track. The guide track comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the path which is defined by the first section encloses an angle with the longitudinal axis of the device, wherein the angle which is enclosed by the path defined by the first section with the longitudinal axis is smaller than the angle which is enclosed by the path defined by the second section with the longitudinal axis, wherein, for connecting the cartridge holder to the body, the interaction member is configured to mechanically cooperate with the first section such that the cartridge holder is axially moved and rotated with respect to the body, and the interaction member is configured to mechanically cooperate with the second section such that the cartridge holder is rotated with respect to the body, whereby an axial movement of the cartridge holder with respect to the body is prevented. Furthermore, a cartridge holder for a drug delivery device is provided. |
