A cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device is described. The cartridge assembly includes a cartridge containing a drug, the cartridge including a dispensing end; a cartridge holder, the cartridge holder defining an interior cartridge holding section, where the cartridge is arranged within the cartridge holding section; and a fixing feature. The fixing feature includes a fixing surface, in particular a radially oriented surface, which is arranged to abut a cartridge surface of the cartridge, in particular a radially oriented surface, to prevent removal of the cartridge from the cartridge holder such that the cartridge is permanently secured in the cartridge holder. The cartridge surface is a proximal surface which faces away from the dispensing end of the cartridge, wherein the cartridge surface is arranged between the dispensing end of the cartridge and the end opposite of the dispensing end, and wherein the fixing feature is integrated into the cartridge holder.

A cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device is described. The cartridge assembly includes (i) a cartridge containing a drug, the cartridge including a dispensing end; (ii) a cartridge holder, the cartridge holder defining an interior cartridge holding section, in which the cartridge is arranged within the cartridge holding section; and (iii) a fixing member.

The fixing member includes a fixing surface, in particular a radially oriented surface, which is arranged to abut a cartridge surface of the cartridge, in particular a radially oriented surface. The cartridge surface is a proximal surface which faces away from the dispensing end of the cartridge, and the cartridge surface is arranged between the dispensing end of the cartridge and the end opposite of the dispensing end.

The fixing member includes a securing surface which is arranged to abut a holder surface of the cartridge holder to prevent removal of the cartridge from the cartridge holder such that the cartridge is permanently secured in the cartridge holder, and the holder surface is a distal surface of the cartridge holder. Further, a drug delivery device and a method for assembling the cartridge assembly are described.

The present disclosure relates to an autoinjector device for use in combination with a syringe, said syringe comprising a movable plunger; a needle; and a tubular needle shield. The claimed autoinjector device comprises: an elongated housing having a proximal and a distal end; a drive mechanism; a syringe holder in order to support the fragile syringe and to prevent damage to the syringe. The invention furthermore relates to a method for assembly of the autoinjector device according to the invention.

A medicament delivery device comprising a cannula for delivery of medicament, a cartridge assembly comprising a cartridge having a medicament chamber and a collar adjacent a distal end opening of the chamber, a sealing element for sealing the distal end opening, and a coupling element for retaining the sealing element against a distal end of the cartridge. The device further comprises a hub assembly comprising a hub body and a sealing element release member. The device is switchable from a starting configuration in which the release member is spaced from the sealing element to an activated configuration in which the release member cooperates with the sealing element to connect the medicament chamber to the cannula. The coupling element comprises an annular clamping portion for applying a clamping force to the sealing element to seal the sealing element against the distal end of the cartridge, and a generally tubular engagement portion.

A cap assembly for a medicament delivery device is disclosed. The cap assembly includes a cap configured to be mounted to a proximal end of the medicament delivery device, wherein the cap comprises a cam surface. The cap assembly further includes a squeezer comprising (i) a body defining a first longitudinally extending channel configured to receive a delivery member shield and (ii) a plurality of radial arms flexible in a radial direction. The cap assembly also includes a spinner comprising (i) a proximal end face configured to cooperate with the cam surface of the cap, (ii) a body defining a second longitudinally extending channel configured to receive the squeezer, and (iii) a plurality of holes in the body of the spinner configured to receive the plurality of radial arms of the squeezer.

An autoinjector for dispensing a liquid product includes a housing; a product container arranged in the housing, particularly, a syringe comprising a displaceable piston; a drive member; a first spring which acts on the drive member and the piston to dispense the product from the container; signal element releasably axially coupled with the drive member so that the signal element is transported in the dispensing direction as said drive member is displaced; and a second spring, which exerts a spring force on the signal element against the dispensing direction and is tensioned as the signal element is transported in the dispensing direction. When the signal element is released or detached from the axial coupling, the second spring causes the signal element to accelerate opposite the dispensing direction and strike against a signal stop and generate an acoustic and/or tactile signal.

The present invention relates to an autoinjector device (10) for use in combination with a syringe (30), said syringe comprising a movable plunger; a needle; and a tubular needle shield (34). The claimed autoinjector device (10) comprises: an elongated housing having a proximal (11) and a distal end (12); a drive mechanism; a syringe holder (40) in order to support the fragile syringe and to prevent damage to the syringe. The invention furthermore relates to a method for assembly of the autoinjector device according to the invention.

A cartridge retainer comprises a sleeve having a distal end a proximal end and a longitudinal axis extending between the distal end and the proximal end. One or more tabs extend radially from the sleeve toward the longitudinal axis and are configured to radially deflect away from the longitudinal axis. One or more deformable members extend axially from the distal end of the sleeve toward the one or more tabs and are configured to deform in a longitudinal direction toward the distal end.
