The present disclosure relates to a needleless injector including a cap, an injection system, a body, a gas generator, and a percussion device. The body is covered by the cap and is mounted to slide relative to the cap. The percussion device includes a striker that is slidingly mounted along a sliding axis between a rest position and a percussion position and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a lug and a retention tab. The lug projects from a peripheral face of the striker along an axis that is perpendicular to the sliding axis and has a first support ramp. The retention tab is attached to the cap, and has a second support ramp. The ramps are configured to move the retention tab radially when pushed by the striker from a retaining position to a release position and the retention tab is moved aside to release the striker.

A. An injection device kit for the self-administration of an injection of solution that includes a body portion configured for engagement with a cartridge containing the solution and an injection needle where the body portion includes an injection component having an actuation mechanism for inserting the injection needle of the cartridge and for injecting the solution in the cartridge and a safety mechanism on the body portion and configured to prevent injection unless released.

Disclosed is an applicator comprising or including, a dosing body including, at least one barrel; a piston moveable within the at least one barrel to stroke between a variable first position and a second position. In use, movement of the piston towards the first position can draw a first fluid into the barrel, and movement of the piston towards the second position can force the first fluid out of the barrel. There is at least one fluid inlet valve to allow the fluid to flow into the at least one barrel at least under action of the piston, and at least one fluid outlet valve to allow the first fluid to flow out of the at least one barrel at least under action of the piston. A piston actuating assembly, selectively engageable with the dosing body, is present, the piston actuator assembly having a user operable handle to drive a second actuation member which in turn can drive the piston between the first position and the second position, the connection between the second actuation member, or part thereof being a releasable one.

A dose setting mechanism for a medicament delivery device is presented having a tubular member, a dose drum, coaxial with the tubular member, and being axially and rotationally movable relative to the tubular member, a stop member, coaxial with the tubular member, and axially movable but rotationally locked relative to the tubular member, and further being axially jointly movable with the dose drum, wherein the stop member has a first stop element and in that the dose drum has a second stop element, and wherein the first stop element and the second stop element are configured to interact with each other to limit rotation of the dose drum to a predetermined angular interval.

A method for metered dispensing of a medium from a container, a dosing pipette (P.sub.1P.sub.2) for removing an exactly predetermined amount of the medium to be inserted into the container, wherein the predetermined amount is adjusted on the dosing pipette (P.sub.1P.sub.2) prior to removal.

A drive mechanism suitable for use in drug delivery devices is disclosed. The drive mechanism may be used with injector-type drug delivery devices, such as those permitting a user to set the delivery dose. The drive mechanism may include a housing, a dose dial sleeve, and a drive sleeve. A clutch is configured to permit rotation of the drive sleeve and the dose dial sleeve with respect to the housing when the dose dial sleeve and drive sleeve are coupled through the clutch. Conversely, when the dose dial sleeve and drive sleeve are in a de-coupled state, rotation of the dose dial sleeve with respect to the housing is permitted and rotation of the drive sleeve with respect to the housing is prevented. In the de-coupled state, axial movement of the drive sleeve transfers force in a longitudinal direction for actuation of a drug delivery device.

A drug delivery device for dispensing a dose of a medicament includes an elongated housing extending in an axial direction, and a piston rod to operably engage with a piston of a cartridge to displace the piston in a distal axial direction. The drug delivery device further includes a drive sleeve extending in an axial direction and being rotatable against the action of a spring during a dose setting procedure and a dispensing sleeve rotatably engaged with the piston rod and being displaceable in an axial direction relative to the drive sleeve to engage with the drive sleeve in a torque transmissive way during a dose dispensing procedure.

Dosing device for an administration device with a limiting mechanism containing: a dosing sleeve with a first stop and a stop wheel with a second stop means adapted to continually and proportionally follow a movement of the dosing sleeve during dosing movements. During an ejection movement, there is no relative movement between dosing sleeve and stop wheel. The first stop and the second stop each describe a path curve by their movements such that the two path curves intersect in one point and the stops contact one another and tilt the stop wheel, thereby blocking the dosing movement of the dosing sleeve. The stop wheel comprises first and third sloped surfaces that may form first and second gear guidances with a clutch thereby returning the stop wheel to a non-tilted position during up or down dosing movements when the stops do not contact another.

A medication injection method where a medication injection pen comprises a dose set knob rotatable with respect to a housing to set a desired injection dose. The dose set knob comprises at least one internal thread. A leadscrew includes a thread element for advancing in a first direction via a corresponding thread engagement. A driver is rotationally fixed to the leadscrew and is rotatable in a first direction to rotate and advance the leadscrew in the first direction. The setback member is rotationally fixed to the driver. The dose stop member is rotationally coupled to the setback member and is axially movable relative to the dose set knob when the dose set knob is rotated relative to the setback member. Axial movement of the dose stop member limits the user from setting a dose that is greater than an injectable volume of medication remaining in a cartridge.
