  • Patent number: 8926568
    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.

  • Patent number: 8870831
    Abstract: A dose reset mechanism for a medicament delivery device with a housing and a medicament container includes a dose setting member in the housing for setting a dose when it is rotated and for resetting the dose when it is rotated in the opposite direction. The dose setting member has a drive member connected to a plunger rod such that when the drive member rotates, the rod moves axially; and a connection member between the dose setting member and the drive member. A ratchet mechanism enables the connection member to rotate when the dose setting member rotates for setting a dose but not to move in the opposite direction. At least one dose reset member and at least one blocking member are connected to the ratchet mechanism such that the connection member and drive member are released when a dose knob is turned in the opposite direction.
