Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a drug delivery device including, a dose setting and/or drive mechanism including a stationary housing having at least one internal groove on an inner surface; a driver positioned within the housing which is moveable relative to the housing during dose dialing and which is moveable relative to the housing during dose dispensing; and at least one flexible tab that is biased to engage the at least one internal groove such that the at least one flexible tab repeatedly engages and disengages the at least one internal groove during dose dialing or during dose dispensing, thereby performing an oscillating movement between two positions including a first position in which the at least one flexible tab engages the at least one internal groove and a second position in which the at least one flexible tab is disengaged from the at least one internal groove.

Abstract: A system comprises a first member, a second member, and a third member, wherein the first and second members are rotatable relative to the third member, wherein the first and second members are coupled to one another by a dead-angle follower coupling, wherein the dead-angle follower coupling is configured such that the first and second members are rotatable relative to one another, wherein the second and third members are rotationally coupled to one another by a switchable coupling mechanism, wherein the switchable coupling mechanism is switchable between two different states, a locked state and a non-locked state, wherein the maximum torque transferable between the second and third members via the switchable coupling mechanism in the locked state is greater than in the non-locked state, wherein the switchable coupling mechanism is in the locked state when the first member is in a locking position relative to the second member.

Abstract: An assembly for a drug delivery device is presented. The assembly comprises a housing and a piston rod having a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end. The piston rod further comprises a piston rod interaction feature, and a piston rod guide being movable with respect to the piston rod, the piston rod guide further comprising a guide interaction feature corresponding to the piston rod interaction feature, the piston rod guide being movable with respect to the piston rod to switch between a first state and a second state of the assembly, the second state being different from the first state. The assembly is configured such that, in a first state of the assembly, the piston rod guide is in a first axial position relative to the piston rod in which the piston rod interaction feature is arranged to interact with the guide interaction feature to prevent proximal movement of the piston rod with respect to the housing, and wherein, in a second state of the assembly being different from the first state, the piston rod guide is in a second axial position relative to the piston rod, the second axial position being different from the first axial position, wherein, in the second axial position, the piston rod interaction feature and the guide interaction feature are arranged such that proximal movement of the piston rod with respect to the housing is allowed.
