  • Publication number: 20240066225
    Abstract: An arrangement for a drug delivery device includes a housing with a proximal end and a distal end, a needle shield remover configured to be rotationally locked to a needle shield covering a needle, and a guiding interface. The needle shield remover is releasably connectable to the housing. The guiding interface is configured such that, when the needle shield remover rotates with respect to the housing from a state in which the needle shield remover is connected to the housing, the guiding interface guides a movement of the needle shield remover relative to the housing in a direction away from the proximal end of the housing to disconnect the needle shield remover from the housing. Movement of the needle shield remover relative to the housing to disconnect the needle shield remover includes an axial movement and a rotational movement of the needle shield remover relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20240033441
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing element, a release member, a plunger rod, a transfer member arranged rotatably with respect to the housing element, an energy member, a displaceable element being displaceable between a first position and a second position, wherein the transfer member and the plunger rod are operatively coupled such that a rotation of the transfer member is converted into an axial movement of the plunger rod, the drug delivery device has a first locked state, wherein, in the first locked state, (i) a releasable first locking mechanism prevents a rotational movement of the transfer member, (ii) the release member is in an initial position and arranged to hold the displaceable element in the first position, and (iii) the transfer member is coupled to the displaceable element held in the first position via an axial-lock interface which prevents an axial movement of the transfer member.

  • Publication number: 20240033443
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing element, a release member, a plunger rod, an energy member, and a displaceable element. The drug delivery device has a first locked state in which the release member is in a distal position and arranged to hold the displaceable element in a first radial position to prevent a movement of the plunger rod in distal direction by the energy member. The drug delivery device is configured to be switched from the first locked state into a released state by moving the release member from the distal position into a proximal position. In the released state, the release member no longer holds the displaceable element in the first radial position, which enables a movement of the displaceable element from the first radial position into a second radial position to release the plunger rod such that the plunger rod moves in the distal direction.

  • Publication number: 20240001041
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing element, a protection member, a movable member, wherein the drug delivery device has an initial state, in which (i) the protection member is in an extended position to cover the drug delivery element, (ii) the protection member is movable in a proximal direction from the extended position into a retracted position in order to expose the drug delivery element, and (iii) the protection member is coupled to the movable member in distal direction and proximal direction such that an axial movement of the protection member in both, the distal and proximal direction, results in an axial movement of the movable member in the same direction. The drug delivery device is configured such that, starting from the initial state, movement of the protection member in proximal direction initiates a rotation of the movable member relative to the protection member by a predetermined angle.

  • Publication number: 20230270942
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing, a blocking feature rotationally secured relative to the housing, a drive unit, a rod operatively coupled to the drive unit and arranged to move distally relative to the housing when the rod is released, and a movable trigger member. The rod is rotatable relative to the housing and has an unprimed state and a primed state. In the unprimed state, the blocking feature is arranged to block a rotation of the rod into the release position, and in the primed state, a trigger member feature is arranged to block rotation of the rod into the release position. The trigger member is arranged to move relative to the housing to release the rod. To switch from the unprimed state into the primed state, the trigger member moves and a movement is converted into an axial movement of the rod relative to the blocking feature.
