  • Publication number: 20130041322
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device has proximal and distal housing parts connected along a longitudinal axis, the proximal part for accommodating a medicament container. A drive member inside the distal part has a first circumferential set of interacting devices. A longitudinal plunger rod is rotationally locked through a central passage of the distal part, acts on a stopper inside the container, and is connected to the plunger rod. A turnable dose setting member coaxially arranged around the drive member is rotatably connected to the distal part. A torsion spring is connected to the dose setting member and to a hub of the drive member. The hub, spring, dose setting member, and drive member are coaxial transversally. The drive nut has second interacting devices on its outer surface. When the drive member is rotated by the spring, the drive nut rotates, whereby the plunger rod moves proximally for expelling a dose of medicament.

  • Publication number: 20120150125
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety pen needle device comprising a first needle shield (60) and a second back-end needle shield (90). During the injection the first needle shield (60) is moved to en retracted position this movement causes a actuation sleeve (31) to rotate. Said rotation causes a holding member (96, 98) provided on the second needle shield (90) to be released. When the first needle shield (60) is moved from the retracted position to a extended position the actuation sleeve (31) is rotated further so that a first guide member (74) on the first needle shield (60) abuts a first stop member (34) arranged on said actuation sleeve (31). After an performed injection both shields are moved to extended positions by the rotation of an actuation sleeve (31). After the injection the shield are locked it their extended position.
