    摘要: A drug delivery device comprises a medicament reservoir attached to a housing, a drive mechanism comprising a plunger movable relative to the housing, a dose selecting element releasably coupled to the drive mechanism and rotatable relative to the housing, a trigger axially movable relative to the housing, and a limiter selectively permitting and preventing axial movement of the trigger depending on the amount of a selected dose. The limiter is constrained to the dose selecting element and to the trigger. One of the limiter or a component part is axially coupled to the housing comprises a track which is in engagement with a blocking feature of the other of the limiter or the component part axially coupled to the housing. The track comprises a narrow section limiting relative movement between the track and the blocking feature and a wide section permitting relative movement between the track and the blocking feature.

    摘要: A drug delivery device comprising a housing body; a piston rod configured to rotate in a rotational direction during dose dispensing under a driving force; and a threaded insert, wherein the piston rod is in threaded engagement with the threaded insert such that during the dose dispensing. the piston rod displaces axially in a distal direction relative to the threaded insert for displacement of a cartridge hung. The threaded insert is movable relative to a stop provided in the housing body and a spring is provided to bias the threaded insert against the stop so that the rotation of the piston rod causes the threaded insert to move away from the stop in response to reaction forces, induced by the cartridge bung into the threaded insert, acting on the piston rod in a proximal direction when the reaction forces exceed a biasing force of the spring.

    摘要: A data collection device for attachment to an injection device, such as an injector pen, includes a sensor arrangement to detect movement of a movable component of the injection device relative to the data collection device during delivery of a medicament by the injection device, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on said detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device. The processor arrangement may monitor the time that has elapsed since the medicament dosage was administered, and control a display to show the medicament dosage and elapsed time to provide a memory aid to the user. In an example embodiment, the sensor arrangement includes an optical encoder and the movable component includes a plurality of light barrier formations. The movable component may be a number sleeve that provides a visual indication of a dose programmed into the injection device.

    摘要: The present disclosure pertains to an assembly for a drug delivery device having a housing part, a piston rod displaceable relative to the housing part, a first sleeve member and a second sleeve member. First and second sleeve members are coupled to the housing part. In an initial state of the assembly the first sleeve member is movable from an initial position to a second position relative to the second sleeve member which allows the piston rod to axially travel from an initial position to a predetermined second position such that the assembly is in a primed state. Moreover, in the primed state of the assembly, with the first sleeve member being in the second position relative to the second sleeve member, first and second sleeve members are permanently rotationally and axially locked to each other by a first engagement feature such that first and second sleeve members together form a sleeve.

    摘要: The present invention relates to injectors, such as pen-type injectors, that provide for administration of medicinal products from a multidose-cartridge and permit a user to set the delivery dose. The injector may include a housing, a piston rod adapted to operate through the housing, a dose dial sleeve located between the housing and the piston rod, and a drive sleeve located between the dose dial sleeve and the piston rod. The dose dial sleeve may have a helical thread of first lead and the drive sleeve may have a helical groove of second lead. The first lead of the helical thread and the second lead of the helical groove may be the same.

    摘要: 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.
