Publication number: 20230137976Abstract: An injection device includes a housing having an internal volume and a viewing portion. A movable seal is disposed in the internal volume and is movable from an initial position to an injection end position to urge a drug product out of the housing. An indicator assembly is disposed in the internal volume and includes a dose end indicator. The indicator assembly is biased from a dose remaining position toward a dose end position where the dose end indicator is visible through the viewing portion. A release mechanism releasably holds the indicator assembly in the dose remaining position and is linked to the movable seal such that the movable seal reaching the injection end position causes the release mechanism to release the indicator assembly to the dose end position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Sean Corrigan, Bradley Gould, David T. Andersen, Kelly Burton, Tyler W. Mitchell, Ian Cleathero

Publication number: 20190151551Abstract: A delivery device for delivering a medicament to a patient includes a cartridge disposable within a housing having a first end sealed by a septum and a second open end longitudinally opposed to the first end and defining a cartridge volume for holding the medicament. A stopper is at least partially disposed within the cartridge volume and displaceable within the cartridge volume to eject the medicament from the cartridge through the septum. A driving assembly connects to the stopper having a rotatable portion cooperatively engaged to an extendable portion such that rotation of the rotatable portion causes axial translation of the extendable portion and a connector assembly has a first connector portion connected to the extendable portion and a second connector portion connected to the stopper, the first connector portion and second connector portion are rotationally locked and axially displaceable relative to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventor: Ian Cleathero

Patent number: 9956344Abstract: An autoinjector including: a housing, in which can be mounted a syringe (28) having a plunger, a barrel and needle (19) at one end thereof through which medicament can be delivered to an injection site,—a syringe support means (30) capable of causing said syringe to move along an axial path with respect to said housing; biasing means capable of biasing said syringe support means so that said needle is normally inside said housing; and engagement means (180) selectively moveable by a user from a first position in which rearward movement of the syringe along said axial path is substantially prevented when said syringe is in an extended position where at least part of said needle is out of the housing, to a second position in which rearward movement of the syringe along said axial path relative to said housing is possible and said biasing means causes said needle to retract inside said housing; wherein said housing includes an outer housing (16) and said autoinjector further comprises a sleeve (18) intermediateType: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: THE MEDICAL HOUSE LIMITEDInventor: Ian Cleathero

Patent number: 8734393Abstract: An injection device comprising an outer housing adapted to receive a syringe for holding a volume of a medicament, said syringe comprising a barrel, a needle at one end of the barrel, and a plunger, axially moveable within the barrel, the needle and barrel being such that at least part of the needle is axially moveable in and out of said outer housing but is biased to be normally wholly inside said housing. The injection device further comprises an inner housing intermediate the outer housing and at least part of the barrel and/or plunger, an energy source in communication with the inner housing, and blocking means capable of preventing said inner housing moving axially under the influence of said energy source.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: The Medical House LimitedInventor: Ian Cleathero

Publication number: 20060021896Abstract: A cartridge assembly (10) for holding disks or similar substrates includes a cassette (12) provided with a plurality of curved grooved channels (20) of substantially even channel width and at least one protruding feature (34. 36. 40) into each channel (20) for reducing the channel width, the protruding features (34, 36, 40) being provided as areas of greater channel wall thickness. The protrusions allow more compact storage of disks within the cartridge (10) while still ensuring that the disks do not touch one another during transportation and handling. One or more burrs (44) are also provided in each channel (20) to prevent or reduce disk spin during transportation of the cartridge (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2005Publication date: February 2, 2006Inventors: Ian Cleathero, Jan Andrzejewski, Andrew Miles
