Patent number: 10864325Abstract: An automatic injection device for delivering a dose from a medicine containing syringe includes a housing for containing the syringe, a force applicator for applying a force to eject medicine from the syringe, a trigger coupled to the force applicator for releasing the force applicator to cause an injection, a boot covering a needle attached to the syringe to protect and maintain sterility of the needle, and a mechanical interlock. The mechanical interlock prevents actuation of the trigger prior to removal of the boot. When the boot is removed, the mechanical interlock allows for actuation of the trigger.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Owen Mumford LimitedInventors: Toby Cowe, Colin Marc Webb, Timothy Simon Evans, Oliver Anderson

Patent number: 9724034Abstract: Skin stimulus arrangements are described for creating a stimulus in the skin in the vicinity of a treatment or wound site to alleviate the perception of pain. First and second textured surfaces are provided for making contact with the skin, with the surfaces being moved to create a stimulus which alleviates the perception of pain. The movement may be linear, rotary or a combination of both, and just a single textured surface may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2010Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: OWEN MUMFORD LIMITEDInventors: Clive Nicholls, Timothy Simon Evans, Christopher W. Hudson

Patent number: 9327084Abstract: An injection device includes a housing 101 to 104 containing a syringe 24. The contents of the syringe 24 are viewable through a window 14 in the mid-section 102 of the housing. The window 14 is concealed by a slideable shutter 12. The slideable shutter 12 is biased by a bias spring 22 which also biases an internal syringe carrier. Also disclosed is a reversible needle cap which operates initially to cap the front end of the housing and, upon removal thereof, pulls a needle sheath 30 off the syringe needle 26. The cap is designed to be reversible so that, after use, it can be reversed and reconnected to the housing to cover the exposed needle.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: OWEN MUMFORD LIMITEDInventor: Timothy Simon Evans
