Claims (7)

1. A method for using a medicinal fluid injection device including a housing having an opening in a side surface thereof, and an injection needle inside the opening, the method comprising:

positioning a cover body to the opening of the medicinal fluid injection device;

discharging an air in the injection needle to inside of the cover body as a priming operation comprising a movement of the medicinal fluid; and

separating the cover body from the medicinal fluid injection device,

wherein a cover part of the cover body is configured to bulge in a direction away from the housing due to the priming operation, and

wherein positioning the cover body is to define a closed space between the cover part and an auxiliary cover part which is positioned to the opening, and for the injection needle to penetrate through the auxiliary cover part.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein during the priming operation, the medicinal fluid which is discharged together with the air is in the closed space.
