A medicament delivery device is presented having a housing, a medicament container holder, arranged movable in relation to the housing and capable of accommodating a medicament container. An activator is arranged in the housing and capable of, upon activation, acting on a medicament container for expelling a dose of medicament, where the activator has a plunger rod, a manually operable dose setting nut rotatably connected to the housing and arranged with first threads. Second threads are arranged on the medicament container holder being arranged to cooperate with said dose setting nut, wherein operation of the dose setting nut will cause the medicament container holder with the medicament container to move towards the plunger rod for setting a dose of medicament to be delivered.

An injection device comprises a dose selector, rotatable by a user to set a dose to be ejected from the injection device and a drive assembly including a drive shaft (140) and a plunger element (145), the drive assembly being capable of providing an axial force for ejecting a dose of medicament from a medicament container. A dose limit nut (141) is provided which is rotationally coupled to but not axially coupled to said drive shaft. The plunger element is threaded so that the dose limit nut is engaged with said plunger element via said thread, in order to guide relative axial movement between the dose limit nut and the plunger element. The dose limit nut is provided with dose limiting endstops which are capable of limiting axial travel of said dose limit nut with respect to said plunger element, so as to limit maximum and minimum doses of medicament which can be set by the user. In addition, the dose limit nut comprises a last dose rotary endstop feature which prevents further rotation of said dose limit nut with respect to said drive shaft so as to prevent the user setting a dose that is greater than an injectable volume of medicament remaining in said medicament container.

The invention relates to an injection unit, preferably a pen-shaped injection unit, for administering or delivering a fluid product. The injection unit comprises a housing, an axially movable piston rod mounted in the housing in a non-rotatable manner, a delivery apparatus having a threaded nut that is able to move the piston rod in order to deliver product, a dosing device having a dosing sleeve, a rotary knob, a discharge button arranged coaxially on the dosing sleeve, and a receptacle for the product. The dosing device is connected to the delivery apparatus via a coupling mechanism, wherein the coupling mechanism includes of at least two coupling surfaces that each carry a toothing comprising teeth, wherein the coupling surfaces are used to generate an acoustic and/or tactile signal corresponding to the set or corrected dose of the product to be administered during the dosing operation or during correction of the dose.

An injection device (100) for the injection of a controlled dose of an injectable substance, including: one containment chamber (33) of the injectable substance, defined inside a tubular body (3); a plunger (5) slidingly engaged inside the tubular body (3), provided with a central stem (53) placed between a cap (51) and a base (52); a spacer applied to the plunger (5) and adapted to allow a forward movement of the plunger (5) in the containment chamber (33) up to reach an abutment of the spacer between the base (52) of the plunger (5) and the second end (32) of the containment body (3) to prevent the further forward movement of the plunger (5) in the containment chamber (33). The injection device (100) is characterized in that the spacer is a flexible dosing label (9), that can be deformed in one longitudinal direction (X) and rigid in one transverse direction (Y).

A plunger sub-assembly (40, 60, 70; 80) for a pre-filled medicament injector for expelling a dose of a medicament, comprising: a) a container (60) holding a medicament, the container (60) comprising a body (61) with a proximally facing rim surface (64), and a distally slideable piston (63); b) a plunger (40); and c) a tolerance compensating element (70; 80) configured to cooperate with the plunger (40) and to cooperate with either the proximally facing rim surface (64) or the piston (63), the tolerance compensating element (70; 80) being rotatable relative to the plunger (40) to adjust the piston (63) end of dose position. The plunger sub-assembly (40, 60, 70; 8) is formed so that end of dose state occurs by the plunger (40) cooperating with the proximally facing rim surface (64). Pre-filled medicament injectors and methods of assembling a pre-filled medicament injector are further described.

An injection device incorporating a dose setting mechanism is presented where the dose setting mechanism contains a fail safe feature that activates during an interrupted dose delivery event. A dose selector having a projecting rib engages a protrusion on a snap element to prevent the dose knob from moving distally if a user removes an axial force in the proximal direction during dose delivery. The dose setting mechanism can further include a reuse prevention feature.

An injection device incorporating a dose setting mechanism is presented where the dose setting mechanism contains a dose selector having one or more dose stops corresponding to a finite set of predetermined fixed doses, where the set of finite predetermined fixed doses includes a lowest fixed dose and one or more higher fixed doses, and where at least one of the one or more higher fixed doses is equal to the lowest fixed dose plus a fractional amount of the lowest fixed dose. The dose setting mechanism can further include a floating spline that is rotationally engaged with a snap element such that the snap element can rotate relative to the floating spline during both dose setting and dose delivery.

A dosing device for an injection device, the dosing device including an actuating element for adjusting and/or dispensing a dose from the injection device, a thrust element for generating a forward movement for discharging a dose and a coupling to which the actuating element and the thrust element are coupled such that a rotational movement of the actuating element is transmitted directly to the thrust element and an axial movement of the actuating element is different than an axial movement of the thrust element.

A drug delivery device for selecting and dispensing a number of user variable doses of a medicament includes a housing having a tubular portion with an inner thread, a piston rod having a threaded portion and a distal end, and a bearing having a distal face and a proximal face. The bearing includes a retaining stem protruding from the proximal face. The piston rod includes a distal portion having an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner thread of the tubular portion and comprising at its distal end at least one retaining clip engaging the retaining stem. The axial length of the tubular portion is smaller than or equal to the axial distance between the proximal face of the bearing disc and the distal end of the threaded portion of the piston rod. During manufacturing of the device, the retaining clip engages the retaining stem prior to the inner thread of the tubular portion engages with the threaded portion of the piston rod.

An assembly for a drug delivery device comprises a housing, a dose member which is displaceable in a proximal direction with respect to the housing for setting of a dose of a drug, a clutch member which is displaced in the proximal direction with respect to the housing when setting the dose, and a stop member configured to define a clutch stop position. The clutch member and the dose member are configured to mechanically cooperate with one another when the clutch member is in the clutch stop position, thereby preventing further displacement of the dose member in the proximal direction with respect to the housing during setting of the dose.
