  • Patent number: 9095657
    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.

  • 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.
