A drive mechanism for a delivery device is presented containing, a rotator having an outer surface and an inner surface, the rotator configured to rotate from a first position to a second position. A needle cover having an inner surface that engages the outer surface of the rotator. A rotatable plunger rod having an outer surface configured to engage the inner surface of the rotator. When the rotator rotates from the first position to the second position, the rotatable plunger rod is rotated by the rotator and a plunger rod spring is released from a pre-tensioned state to exert a force on the rotatable plunger rod.

Provided is an injection device for injecting a substance, comprising a case receiving a barrel containing the substance to be injected and comprising a stopper movable inside the barrel, a plunger unit comprising a triggering portion, the plunger unit being coupled to the stopper and movable with regard to the case from an initial, proximal position to a final, distal position to inject the substance when the barrel is provided into the case, an end-of-dose indicator movable from a hidden position to a visible position in which at least one portion of the end-of-dose indicator is visible to a user, hiding means for locking the end-of-dose indicator in the hidden position and configured to be unlocked by the triggering portion of the plunger unit when the plunger unit reaches an indicator position.

A device configured to administer a medication can comprise a lower housing that includes a housing latch. The device can further comprise a needle guard that is movable relative to the lower housing along a first direction from a first position to a second position so as to expose a needle, and an upper housing supported relative to the lower housing. The upper housing can be configured to move with respect to the lower housing along a second direction from a pre-use position to a dispensed position. The housing latch can releasably interfere with the upper housing when the upper housing is in the pre-use position so as to prevent the upper housing from moving toward the dispensed position, and the movement of the needle guard toward the second position, causes the interference to be removed, thereby allowing the upper housing to move toward the second position.

The present disclosure provides an injection pen needle, which includes a needle head, a needle seat, an outer sleeve, a sliding sleeve and a limit ring, wherein the needle head is arranged on the needle seat; the needle seat comprises baffle plates; the outer sleeve is arranged on the needle seat in a sleeving manner; the lower part of the sliding sleeve enters the outer sleeve and is adapted to move up and down in the outer sleeve, and a channel hole, from which the needle head can penetrate out, is formed in the top of the sliding sleeve; the limit ring is arranged in the outer sleeve; the limit ring comprises sliding blocks; the bottom of the sliding sleeve pushes against the limit ring; and when the sliding sleeve moves up and down in the outer sleeve.

The passive safety device comprises a sleeve having a proximal end configured to be secured to a distal tip of the injection device, a hub slidably mounted onto the sleeve between a pre-use position, an injection position wherein the hub is proximally located with regard to the pre-use position, and a safety position wherein the hub is distally located with regard to the injection position, a biasing element configured to urge the hub distally towards the safety position, and a protector configured to slide together with the hub relative to the sleeve between the pre-use position and the injection position. The safety device further comprises first blocking means configured to block a distal movement of the protector when the hub is in the injection position so that the protector is prevented from sliding back together with the hub in a distal direction.

According to the invention, an auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) comprises of a substantially cylindrical housing arranged to contain a pre-filled syringe filled with the medicament (M), a needle shroud slibably arranged with respect to the housing and adapted to rest on the skin of a patient receiving an injection, a releasable drive means arranged within the housing that is capable of, upon release, translating the needle shroud in a proximal direction (P) towards a safe position (PS) and a rotating collar rotatably arranged within the housing. The needle shroud in the safe position (PS) surrounds the injection needle after the injection has been carried out. The rotating collar engages the needle shroud in a manner that forces the rotating collar to rotate within the housing when the needle shroud is translated in the proximal direction (P).

Device for dispensing a substance having: a dispensing element through which the substance can be dispensed, a displaceable protective element for the dispensing element, a drive element that is coupled with the protective element and a feedback element which can generate a signal when or after a predefined quantity or the entire quantity of the substance to be dispensed has been dispensed characterized in that the feedback device is coupled with the drive element.

Disclosed is a method for controlling an auto injector and an auto injector for administering a medicament from a cartridge having a first cartridge end and a second cartridge end and having a cartridge outlet at the first cartridge end, the cartridge comprising a cartridge compartment with a first cartridge subcompartment containing a first medicament component of the medicament and a second cartridge subcompartment containing a second medicament component of the medicament. The auto injector comprises: a housing; a cartridge receiver; a cartridge sensor; a drive module; an orientation sensor; and a processing unit.

An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament includes an elongate tubular case and a carrier subassembly including a tubular carrier slidably arranged inside the case. The carrier is adapted to contain a syringe with a hollow injection needle, a drive spring, and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe, wherein the syringe is lockable for joint axial translation with the carrier, wherein the drive spring acts between the carrier and the plunger, wherein the plunger, in an initial state, is locked to the carrier by a ramped engagement to the carrier and by being prevented from rotating out of this ramped engagement, depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier in the case, and wherein the plunger is arranged to be released for rotating out of the ramped engagement.

An accessory for an injection device having a needle cap. The accessory comprises a body portion comprising a recess adapted to receive the injection device and a cover coupled to the body portion. The cover is pivotally moveable between an open position in which the recess is exposed to receive the injection device, and a closed position in which the cover at least partially closes the recess to hold the injection device in the body portion. The accessory further comprises a cap remover comprising a grip adapted to hold the needle cap. The cap remover is moveable with respect to the body portion.
