Abstract: An autoinjector includes a housing, a needle guard mounted axially moveable in the housing for movement between a storage state, a dispensing state and a lock-out state in which states the needle guard adopts different axial positions relative to the housing, with the needle guard being configured to be axially moved in a proximal direction between the dispensing state and the lock-out state.

Abstract: An autoinjector basically includes a housing, a pre-filled syringe, a drive chassis, and a needle guard. The pre-filled syringe is mounted in the housing. The drive chassis is configured to move a plunger in the pre-filled syringe to dispense medicament via an urging force from a drive spring. The needle guard is moveable in the housing between a storage state, a dispensing state, and a lock-out state. The needle guard is biased towards an extended position by a lock-out spring. The needle guard selectively engages the housing to establish a frontmost position of the needle guard in the storage state, and an offset position of the needle guard in the lock-out state. The offset position is axially offset from the frontmost position in the distal direction.

Abstract: A drug delivery device comprising a housing body; a piston rod configured to rotate in a rotational direction during dose dispensing under a driving force; and a threaded insert, wherein the piston rod is in threaded engagement with the threaded insert such that during the dose dispensing. the piston rod displaces axially in a distal direction relative to the threaded insert for displacement of a cartridge hung. The threaded insert is movable relative to a stop provided in the housing body and a spring is provided to bias the threaded insert against the stop so that the rotation of the piston rod causes the threaded insert to move away from the stop in response to reaction forces, induced by the cartridge bung into the threaded insert, acting on the piston rod in a proximal direction when the reaction forces exceed a biasing force of the spring.

Abstract: A spray device includes a bottle portion, a sleeve, and an engine. The engine includes a spring that when compressed pressurizes a chamber containing a dispensable amount of fluid from the bottle portion. The sleeve and the engine are configured to be torquable onto the bottle without compressing the spring. Rotation of the sleeve relative to the bottle by a user pressurizes a chamber containing fluid from the bottle. Auditory and/or tactile feedback is provided to the user during rotation of the sleeve thereby allowing the user to select an amount of the fluid to be dispensed. The engine includes a main spring that when compressed pressurizes a chamber containing a dispensable amount of fluid from the bottle. The spring is enclosed between a cup and a cap, which have been fused together.

Abstract: A locking mechanism is provided for use with a reservoir and a reservoir holder so as to prevent unwanted tampering with the reservoir. The mechanism comprises a main body with an aperture that is coupled to the reservoir. A hinged flange is provided on the main body. The flange folds inwards at the pivot point provided by the hinge, toward the aperture of the main body, allowing the mechanism to pass over the ferrule of the reservoir. Once the mechanism is placed over the cartridge, the flange folds toward the reservoir at the pivot point, flexing away from the main body. The flange rests against the underside of the reservoir ferrule, thereby retaining the reservoir within the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism may be for use with either a disposable or a reusable delivery device.
