DEVICE FOR ADMINISTERING A FLUID

A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. In a dispensing procedure, a ramp track is rotated until a roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. The ramp track runs on the face side of a wall extending along a circular path. A cover engages over the ramp track, the driver and the roller and has at least one scraper extending counter to the first direction and extending within the wall as far as the inner side of the wall, and thus scrapes off lubricant located on the inner side from the inner side.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING A MEDICAMENT

A device for delivery of medicament is presented that has an elongated housing, a container mounted within the housing and adapted to contain liquid medicament, a stopper slidably arranged within said container, and a delivery mechanism comprising a resilient member, a plunger assembly having one end connected to the stopper and a second end being operably connected to the resilient member, a rotatable latch for releasably retaining the plunger assembly in a first position where the resilient member has an accumulated energy, where rotation of the latch releases the plunger assembly such that the accumulated energy is transferred to the plunger assembly for driving the stopper within the container whereby the medicament within said container is delivered to an injection site. After delivery of the medicament a rotator having a hard stop feature aligns with a rib on the protective shield to prevent retraction of the protective shield.

AN ADAPTOR FOR A MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE AND A RELATED METHOD

The invention provides an adaptor for a medicament delivery device is configured to enable a set dosage of a medicament to be drawn into and/or expelled from the device, the adaptor including: a body configured to be coupled to the device; an attachment portion movable with respect to the body and configured for attachment with a first part of the device; an engaging portion movable with the attachment portion; and a receiver configured to receive a movement constraint guide (MCG) and facilitate engagement between the engaging portion and the MCG; wherein the MCG includes one or more physical features defining at least an aspect of the set dosage; and wherein activation of said first part of the device to draw and/or expel the medicament is stopped when the set dosage is reached by engagement between the engaging portion and at least one of the one or more physical features of the MCG. The invention thus allows ready control of one or more aspects of dosage administration, which can be the amount of a dose and/or or the repeats of a dose.

INJECTOR WITH ELASTOMERIC DRIVE UNIT
20220296812 · 2022-09-22 ·

A drive unit for an injector includes an elastomeric drive member configured to possess a first elastic potential energy in an elastically stretched state that is releasable to convert the elastic energy to a first biasing force. A selectively releasable plunger rod has a locked position maintaining the elastomeric drive member in the elastically stretched state. A trigger member is biased by a second biasing force into an interlocking position. In the interlocking position, an arm of the trigger member interlocks with a notch of the plunger rod, thereby maintaining the plunger rod in the locked position thereof. The trigger member is selectively movable against the second biasing force to an unlocking position spaced from the notch, thereby releasing the first elastic potential energy into the first biasing force to axially advance the plunger rod and thus advance the piston through the reservoir.
