  • Publication number: 20130211336
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device includes a housing for a medicament container assembly; a drive member interactively connected to the assembly for expelling a dose of medicament; a dose actuation assembly operably connected to the drive member; and an actuation member interactively connected to the housing and the dose actuation assembly by a gear assembly. The actuation member is movable generally perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the device from an initial position, in which the actuation member is positioned within the housing, to a dose-set position, in which a portion of the actuation member protrudes a distance proportional to the set dose from the longitudinal surface of the housing when the dose actuation assembly. The actuation member is manually operated in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the device from the dose-set position to the initial position for driving the dose actuation assembly and drive member.

  • Publication number: 20130204193
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device has a housing for a medicament container; a dose setting member rotatable in relation to the housing; a plunger rod acting on a stopper inside the medicament container; a driver that converts rotation of the dose setting member into translation of the plunger rod; a transversal clock spring connected to the dose setting member and to a drive member connected to the plunger rod, such that rotating the dose setting member tensions the spring; a spring hold and release member releasably connected to the drive member; and an activator having a distal end protruding through a distal passage of the dose setting member and connected to the hold and release member. Pushing the activator proximally moves the hold and release member proximally, releasing the spring from its tensioned state and forcing the drive member to rotate.
