A kit includes a drug delivery device and a dispensing unit. The drug delivery device includes a housing, a resetting element and a piston rod and the dispensing unit includes a cartridge holder. The cartridge holder is to be mounted to the housing and to receive a cartridge filled with a drug. The piston rod is to move in a proximal direction out of the housing for ejecting the drug and the resetting element is configured to rotate relative to the housing when no dispensing unit is attached to the housing and to thereby move the piston rod back into the housing. The dispensing unit is configured to press axially against the resetting element upon mounting to the housing to move the resetting element in the distal direction into the housing, and thereby rotationally lock the resetting element with respect to the housing.

A drug delivery device includes an elongate, generally cylindrical, housing extending along a longitudinal axis between a distal end and a proximal end, and a balancing weight located within the housing. A center of mass of the drug delivery device is located radially offset from the longitudinal axis in a radial direction towards the balancing weight.

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.

An injection device having a delivery element with an inner thread may be driven by rotation and includes a cylindrical outer wall region, which is substantially smooth. Such features provide a delivery element configured such that it is less intimidating to patients than known threaded rods, and may facilitate easy cleaning. The delivery element may be non-rotatably guided and axially spring-loaded, and may be inserted axially into the housing when the reservoir is replaced. The driving thread element for the delivery element may be mounted in the vicinity of the distal end of the housing.

A drive mechanism for an injection device includes an inner body fixable inside a housing. An elongated shaft of the inner body extends in an axial direction. The shaft includes an outer thread and a blocking structure on an outer circumference. A tubular-shaped display member has an inner thread engaged with the outer thread of the inner body (20). A dose member is axially displaceable between a dose setting position and a dose dispensing position relative to the display member. The dose member includes at least one blocking element displaceable, pivotable or bendable in radial direction between a blocking position and a release position and engageable with the blocking structure for inducing a radial displacement of the blocking element. In the blocking position, the blocking element axially abuts with the blocking structure and with the display member to block an axial displacement of the dose member from the dose setting position towards the dose dispensing position.

An assembly for a drug delivery device (1) is proposed, comprising a housing (13) having a proximal end and a distal end, a dose member (23) which is displaceable in the proximal direction with respect to the housing for setting of a dose of a drug, a clutch member (28) which is displaced in the proximal direction with respect to the housing when setting the dose, and a stop member (30) configured to define a clutch stop position for the proximal displacement of the clutch member with respect to the housing, with the clutch member, when in the clutch stop position, being prevented from further displacement in the proximal direction with respect to the housing, wherein 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. Furthermore, a drug delivery device (1) is proposed.

A dose setting mechanism for a medicament delivery device is presented having a pinion mounted to a locking member where the axis of rotation of the pinion is offset and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing containing the dose setting components. Primary and secondary dose members are engaged with the pinion to indicate a set dose of medicament.

A system for storing and delivering a predetermined amount of fluid includes a syringe including a barrel, a flange disposed at the proximal end of the barrel, and a plunger assembly configured to be received in the lumen of the barrel. The plunger assembly includes a piston and a plunger rod. The plunger rod is removably couplable to the piston at the distal end of the plunger rod and includes a thumb press flange at the proximal end of the plunger rod. The system further includes a stop feature that is removably couplable to the syringe or the plunger assembly. The stop feature is configured to arrest distal advancement of the plunger assembly relative to the syringe when the plunger assembly reaches a predetermined position relative to the syringe. The stop thus ensures that a predetermined amount of fluid remains in the barrel.

A set of drug delivery devices comprising a first drug delivery device and a second drug delivery device. The first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device each include a first set of mutual members that are identical in both the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device, and the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device each comprise a second set of distinguishing members that differ among the first and second drug delivery device. The first drug delivery device includes a first connector for attaching a first dispensing unit to the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device includes second connector for attaching a connectors means differ from each other so that a second dispensing unit is not attachable to the first connector and a first dispensing unit is not attachable to the second connector.

The present invention relates to a drive mechanism of a drug delivery device for dispensing of a dose of a medicament, the mechanism comprising: a housing (20), a piston rod (120) extending in an axial direction (1, 2) to operably engage with a piston (14) of a cartridge (12), a drive sleeve (90) rotatably supported in the housing (20), at least partially enclosing the piston rod (120), the drive sleeve (90) is operably releasable from the piston rod (120) for setting of a dose and the drive sleeve (90) is operably engageable with the piston rod (120) for dispensing of the dose, a dose limiting member (130) threadedly engaged with the drive sleeve (90), rotatably locked to the housing (20) and being displaceable in axial direction (1, 2) in response to a rotation of the drive sleeve (90) relative to the piston rod (120), at least one stop member (124) provided on the piston rod (120) to engage with the dose limiting member (130) for impeding a further displacement of the drive sleeve (90) relative to the piston rod (120), when a maximum dose configuration has been reached.
