  • Publication number: 20230277776
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an injection device for expelling of a number of preset or user-selectable doses of a medicament. The injection device includes an elongated housing extending along an axial direction and configured to accommodate a cartridge containing the medicament and having a bung sealing a proximal end of the cartridge, a windup expelling mechanism, and a dose setting mechanism. The dose setting mechanism includes a handle , a dose tracking member, and a limiter. The dose tracking member is rotatable relative to the housing within a range of positional states and operatively connectable to the handle for tracking a rotation thereof. The limiter is operationally engageable with the dose tracking member and a trigger of the windup expelling mechanism for blocking actuation of the trigger when the dose tracking member is in one of a number of predetermined sections of the range of positional states.

  • Patent number: 9387294
    Abstract: A drug delivery device (4) for dispensing one or more doses of a drug is provided. The device (4) comprises a drive member (1) for driving a piston rod (5) and a dose member (46) for actuating the drive member (1). The piston rod (5) is coupled to the drive member (1) such that a relative translational movement of the drive member (1) and the piston rod (5) is allowed and a relative rotational movement is prevented. The drive member (1) is configured to be driven by the dose member (46) around the longitudinal axis in a first (110) and a second rotational direction (111) opposite to each other. Furthermore, a drug delivery device (4) is provided, wherein the drive member (1) has stable and unstable states and wherein in an unstable state the drive member (1) is biased by biasing means (3) towards a stable state.
