  • Patent number: 9132235
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device includes a housing arranged to receive a medicament container, a drive unit arranged to act on a stopper in the medicament container, which drive unit includes a torsion drive spring. A dose setting member is operably connected to the drive unit such that a manual turning of the dose setting member causes a tensioning of the torsion drive spring. The device also includes an activation mechanism having an activation button protruding through a distal end of the device. The activation mechanism is operably connected to the drive unit such that actuation of the activation mechanism causes a release of the drive unit, with a set dose of medicament delivered.

  • Patent number: 9011375
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device includes a housing; a drive force mechanism slidable in the housing's distal part; a member connected to the drive force mechanism for holding it in a loaded state and axially movable in relation to the distal part a predetermined distance by the housing's proximal part when the parts are moved toward each other; and an actuation member to be biased in relation to the distal part from a non-operating position partially protruding from the distal part to an operating position confined within the distal part. The actuation member can release the drive force mechanism from its loaded state, and is resiliently connected to the distal part such that it is always recoiled after being biased regardless of whether the actuation mechanism is released. The drive force mechanism is released only after the holding member moves and the actuation member is biased from non-operating to operating position.

  • Patent number: 9011386
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the delivery of predetermined doses of liquid medicament to a patient, which medicament is intended to be inhaled by the patient or intended to be injected into the body of the patient. The device is adapted to be in a medicament delivery state and in a medicament non-delivery state. When the device is in a medicament delivery state, said device is adapted to drive a piston into a cartridge containing the liquid medicament to be delivered, with a force that is above or equal to a predetermined minimum force value and below a predetermined maximum force value. The minimum force value is the lowest force value needed to deliver the predetermined dose and the maximum force value is the first force value at which it exists a risk of damaging the cartridge or the components of the device.
