  • Patent number: 10632249
    Abstract: A delivery unit (2) of a drug delivery device (1), the delivery unit (2) comprising a subcutaneous delivery mechanism (9) having a subcutaneous delivery member (92), and a subcutaneous delivery member actuation mechanism (10) being operable to move the subcutaneous delivery member (92) between a retracted position and an extended position. The actuation mechanism (10) comprises a rotary member (102) having an engagement member (104) rotatable relative a support member (14), and an actuator (106) comprising a pivot portion (10A) and an engagement portion (10B) pivotally connected to the support member via the pivot portion. The engagement member (104) and engagement portion (10B) are configured to engage upon rotation of the rotary member to pivot the actuator between first and second positions and to thereby move the subcutaneous delivery member (92) between the corresponding retracted and extended positions. In an embodiment, the needle actuation mechanism may comprise a reuse protection.

  • Patent number: 10350937
    Abstract: An applicator pen for discharging a liquid onto a surface, preferably for applying a protective layer onto adhesive surfaces of a vehicle, in particularly for improved adhesion in the case of bonding applications, the applicator pen including a hollow body and an ampoule received in the hollow body, including a peripheral surface, for receiving the liquid, wherein the ampoule is able to be broken to enable the liquid to escape, wherein a breakage device is provided with an axially movable portion and is realized in such a manner that a movement of the movable portion in the axial direction results in the breaking of the ampoule.

  • Patent number: 9138540
    Abstract: Ampoules for dispensing flowable substances and metering systems incorporating the same are described herein. An ampoule for a flowable substance includes an ampoule body comprising an interior space for receiving the flowable substance and an inner circumferential surface having a guide region and a sealing region. A piston may be disposed in the interior space of the ampoule body such that the piston is slidably displaceable along a direction of displacement. The piston includes at least one sealing element for forming a seal with the inner circumferential surface in a contact zone on the outer circumference of the sealing element. The sealing element has a first compression state when the contact zone is in the guide region and a second compression state when the contact zone is in the sealing region. A second blocking device prevents movement of the contact zone from the sealing region to the guide region.
