Patent number: 11383041Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device comprising an End-of-Content mechanism. The End-of-Content mechanism comprises a piston rod (10) being driven forward by a rotatable piston rod guide (20), a driver (50) attached to a dose setting tube (30) and an End-of-Content tube (40). The End-of-Content tube is moved axially forward during dose setting a distance which correlates to the size of the dose being set. When the accumulated set and ejected dose equals the injectable amount initially available in the cartridge (3), the End-of-Content tube engages a lock mechanism provided in the piston rod guide and the driver engages a stop surface on the End-of-Content tube. Once the End-of-Content mechanism is locked, no further dose can be set and the piston rod guide cannot be rotated. In order to provide a proper engagement between the piston rod guide and the driver, the End-of-Content mechanism is released during dose expelling.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Martin Johst Christensen, Bjoern Gullak Larsen, Kurt Solgaard, Carsten Soerensen

Publication number: 20210146060Abstract: The invention relates to a torsion spring driven injection device for delivering set doses of a liquid drug wherein a torsion spring is strained by rotation of a rotatable dose setting structure and released by proximal movement of a piston rod driver. The dose setting structure is coupled to a drive element which is rotated during dose setting and which drive element is released during dosing to thereby rotate the piston rod driver. The piston rod driver is further coupled to the piston rod to generate a rotation and thus forward movement of the piston rod. The drive element and the piston rod driver are coupled to each other by a toothed engagement which is functional both during dose setting and during dose expelling.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2018Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Martin Johst Christensen, Bjoern Gullak Larsen, Carsten Soerensen, Kurt Solgaard

Patent number: 10332699Abstract: An electronically controlled add-on device with a switch arrangement comprises a powered switch which is open during most of its lifetime, i.e. during both storage and operational use. More specifically, in one embodiment the add-on device comprises a secondary switch so that there are an open and a closed switch. The logics of the electronic circuitry control the circuitry so that the closed switch will be un-powered and the open switch will be powered. When the switch is mechanically changed, both switches are changed by the controller so that the closed switch will be un-powered and the open switch will be powered.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Bo Radmer, Sara Niemann, Nikolai Byskov, Carsten Soerensen, Michael Ejstrup Hansen, Roger Harrington

Patent number: 10328210Abstract: The invention relates to a non-axial working End-of-Content mechanism which is geared by a hypocycloid gearing. The EoC mechanism comprises a first element (30, 109) having a first internal surface (36, 136) with a first internal diameter (D), and an EoC element (50, 150) having a second external surface (56, 156) with a second external diameter (d) being smaller that the first internal diameter (D). The EoC element (50, 150) is located inside the first internal diameter (D) of the first element (30, 109) and the first element (30, 109) and the EoC element rotates relatively to each other in a gearing ratio. The EoC element (150, 150) thus operating as the inner rolling circle of a hypocycloid counting the numbers of relative rotations.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Simon Munch Pedersen, Carsten Soerensen, Simon Roervig

Patent number: 6983844Abstract: The invention relates to a transportation method and a package system for transporting a set of large longitudinal items such as blades for a wind turbine (1) or a tower for a wind turbine. Taking wind turbine blades (1) as an example, the advantages of the invention reside in packaging a tip (3) of one blade and a base (2) of a second blade in the one and same package (5) such that two blades (1) may be transported in packages (5, 16) having an overall lateral extension, approximately the same as the base of only one blade (1) for the wind turbine. Thereby a very compact but also a very easy means of transportation of large longitudinal items such as wind turbine blades (1) is provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2002Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Neg Micon ASInventors: Roger O'Kane, Carsten Sørensen
