摘要:
The present invention relates to an injection device including a container, intended for receiving a product and provided with an injection needle and a housing receiving the container. The container is movable relative to the housing between an initial position, an insertion position, and a final position. A collapsible chamber is defined within the housing outside of the container. The chamber is collapsible with the container in the insertion position. The chamber is at least partially defined by a proximal wall and a seal element, wherein, with the container in the initial position, the proximal wall is spaced proximally from the seal element, wherein, with the container in the insertion position, the proximal wall is caused to engage the seal element, and, wherein, with the proximal wall engaging the seal element, the container is caused to move from the insertion position to the final position.

A drug delivery device (1) comprises a housing and an expelling assembly adapted to expel a dose of drug from a cartridge (380). The expelling assembly comprises a drive spring (135) which in an energized state is adapted to drive the expelling assembly, a rotating component (550,650) adapted to rotate relative to an axis of rotation during expelling of a dose of drug, and user actuated release means (191, 190) for releasing the drive spring to thereby expel a dose of drug. The device is provided with a brake element (575, 675) being moveable in a plane generally perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the brake element being adapted to engage the rotating component such that during rotation thereof the brake element is moved back and forth, whereby the brake element provides a braking action on the rotating component.

Handheld drug injection device (10) for setting and dispensing of a dose of a medicament, having a housing (20) extending in an axial direction (1, 2) and a dose setting and drive mechanism (3) comprising: —a rotatable dose setting member (50) in a sidewall of the housing and engaging two dose indicating wheels (54,56), —a drive member (70) axially displaceable relative to a drive spindle (80) and the housing against the action of a spring element (78) during dose setting and having a sleeve-shaped part (72) being threadedly engaged with the drive spindle (80) to form a spindle gear, and having a rack portion (71) engaged with a gear wheel (58) of the dose setting member, —the drive spindle (80) being linked on its proximal end to a ratchet mechanism (140,150) which is releasable via an axially shiftable trigger button (40) for dose dispensing, and on its distal end via a pinion (86) to a —drive sleeve (90), the latter being axially shiftable to form a clutch for engagement with —a threaded piston rod (120), which engages a piston (14) of a cartridge (12) to displace the piston (14) in a distal axial direction (1), the trigger button (40) releasing the ratchet holding the drive spindle (80) to free it for rotation, and closing the clutch between drive sleeve (90) and piston rod (120), such that the drive spring (78) can push the drive member (70) forward, thereby rotating the spindle (80), which in turn rotates the drive sleeve (90), which in turn produces spiral forward movement of the piston rod (120). A dose limiter element (130) is also included between piston rod and coaxial drive sleeve.

An injection device provides a casing which accommodates or forms a reservoir for a liquid drug; a plunger rod which can move relative to the casing in an axially forward direction to deliver the drug; a dosing means which can move in the forward direction relative to the casing to prime the reservoir and which can rotate relative to the casing for selecting a dose to be injected, wherein rotation of the dosing means relative to the casing is prevented until a priming operation for priming the reservoir is completed; d) wherein the dosing means comprises a dosing control means which is configured to enable rotation of the dosing means at the end of the priming stroke for selecting the dose and to prevent a rotation of the dosing means back into the position which the dosing means had at the end of the priming stroke relative to the casing.

Automatic injection device with trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a button (25), and a single prong (160) extending from a biased element of the device toward the button. A button-engaging surface (167) of the prong and a support surface of the device define a radially extending opening in which an actuating element (52) of the button fits for a radially outward face of the actuating element to be backed up by the support surface. For release of the biased element, when the button is pressed to shift the actuating element to cause a latching surface of the prong to disengage from a latch surface of the device, motion of the actuating element in a direction away from the prong is limited by the radially outward face of the actuating element abutting the support surface.

Flush syringe assemblies capable of creating pulsatile movement of the plunger rod as it moves in the distal direction within a syringe barrel, while preventing overpressurization of the catheter are provided. An exemplary flush syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel with a first pulsing element and a chamber with flush solution, a plunger rod with a stopper and a second pulsing element that interacts with the first pulsing element to provide an engagement force that causes pulsatile movement of the plunger rod and a thumb press slidably attached to the plunger rod with a pulse control element. The pulse control element is compressible to create a compression force that is greater than the engagement force of the first pulsing element and the second pulsing element.

An automatic injection apparatus including a delay mechanism for properly delivering medication prior to the needled syringe of the apparatus being retracted. In one form, the delay mechanism includes a shuttle (170) for the syringe, a follower (250), a locking member, a damping compound between the follower and a supporting surface (308) to dampen rotation of the follower relative to the shuttle, and a dual functioning biasing member (290) acting between the shuttle and the follower. When the locking member moves to a release position during an injection, the dual functioning biasing member first provides a torsional force to force the follower to rotate relative to the shuttle from a latching position to an unlatching position, and then the dual functioning biasing member provides an axial force to force the shuttle axially relative to the follower to move the shuttle for retracting the syringe needle into the housing of the apparatus after injection.
