  • Patent number: 8372042
    Abstract: A dose setting mechanism for a medicament delivery device includes a tubular housing having threads on its inner surface, a first window, a second window, and at least one surface opening; a tubular dose limiting member having a first thread segment on its outer circumference for the threads on the housing's inner surface, first indicia on its outer circumference, a stop surface, and equidistant protrusions on its outer circumference; a tubular dose setting member; and a removable lock member attached to the housing. The housing is coaxially arranged inside the dose limiting member and includes a second thread segment for the housing's threads, second indicia, and a dose setting knob protruding through the housing. The lock member includes at least one elongated rib on its inner circumferential surface for interacting with the protrusions for locking the dose limiting member in position when the lock member is attached to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20120165752
    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.
