Patent number: 11944795Abstract: An injection device is disclosed comprising a plunger for expressing medicament from a syringe and a delivery mechanism arranged in use to provide a forward biasing force to urge the plunger from a first rearward position to a second forward position to express a dose from the syringe. A latch arrangement is provided that releasably holds the plunger against the force of the delivery mechanism. The latch arrangement comprising at least two resilient segments which define opposing sections of an aperture within which a rearward end of the plunger is retained in the rearward position. A trigger is provided for releasing the plunger in use, the trigger being arranged to outwardly deflect at least one of the resilient segments such that the aperture is expanded to release the rearward end of the plunger. A method of manufacturing the injection device is also enclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Owen Mumford LimitedInventors: Callum Davies, Abiodun Falodi, Matthew Farmer, Oliver Gould, Oliver Hyde, Parshia Moghadas, Timothy Muller, Tahir Shabudin
