Publication number: 20200054840Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Inventors: Lorin Olson, Vaclav Vojan, Juergen E. Pfrang, Peter Krulevitch, Jingli Wang, Nicholas Foley, Mingqi Zhao, Paul Tashjian
