Patent number: 12102812Abstract: The disclosure relates to an audible indicator in combination with a drug delivery device having a resilient force member capable of resting in either of two states. In a biased state, the resilient force member is biased and stores energy and in a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed. The resilient force member releases the stored energy when changing from the biased state into the relaxed state, thereby generating an audible signal, wherein the resilient force member is supported by a retaining element in the biased state in order to prevent transition into the relaxed state.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Carsten Mosebach, Thomas Mark Kemp, Louise Hodgson, William Timmis

Autoinjector with an inner plunger which disengages the outer plunger to retract the syringe carrier
Patent number: 12076541Abstract: Described is an autoinjector comprising a case, a chassis slidably arranged in the case, a syringe carrier operably coupled to the chassis, an outer plunger selectively engaged to the chassis, an inner plunger selectively engaged to the outer plunger, and a drive spring applying a biasing force to the outer plunger. The biasing force is applied to the inner plunger when the inner plunger is engaged to the outer plunger. Rotation of the chassis causes the inner plunger to rotate relative to the outer plunger and disengage the outer plunger to remove the biasing force from the drive spring on the inner plunger. When the inner plunger disengages the outer plunger, the biasing force of the drive spring pushes the chassis to retract the syringe carrier relative to the case.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Yannick Hourmand, Simon Brereton, Thomas Mark Kemp, Rosie Burnell, Matthew Ekman -
Patent number: 12076540Abstract: An autoinjector includes a case adapted to hold a medicament container having a needle, a needle shroud slidably disposed in the case and translatable between an extended position relative to the case in which the needle is covered and a retracted position relative to the case in which the needle is exposed, and a plunger slidably disposed in the case. The case includes a rib. The plunger includes a plunger boss adapted to abut the rib and the needle shroud when the needle shroud is in the extended position and disengage the rib when the needle shroud is in the retracted position to allow the plunger to translate axially relative to the case.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventor: Thomas Kemp

Patent number: 12070584Abstract: 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 mediacament 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Frank Erbstein, Paul Richard Draper, Robert Frederick Veasey, David Aubrey Plumptre, Joseph Butler

Patent number: 12070589Abstract: An autoinjector includes a case adapted to hold a medicament container, a needle shroud telescopically coupled to the case, and a plunger slidably disposed in the case. The needle shroud is movable between a first extended position, a retracted position, and a second extended position relative to the case. The plunger is movable between a proximal position, an intermediate position, and a distal position relative to the case. When the plunger is in the intermediate position and the needle shroud is in the retracted position, the plunger abuts the case to prevent the needle shroud from returning to the extended position. When the plunger is in the distal position and the needle shroud is in the second extended position, the plunger abuts the case to prevent the needle shroud from returning to the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2022Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Stefan Taal, Thomas Kemp
