Abstract: A method of lubricating a surface of a tubular element for a medicament delivery device includes the steps of moving a device relative to the tubular element for a medicament delivery device, contacting the tubular element with a brush portion of the device, and depositing lubricant agent on the surface of the tubular element to lubricate a surface of the tubular element.

Abstract: A spring carrier for receiving, retaining, and discharging of a coil spring in a manufacturing assembly process includes an elongate hollow body defining an inner cavity to receive the coil spring and an opening at a proximal first end of the hollow body for the insertion of the coil spring into the inner cavity and extraction of the coil spring from the inner cavity. A deflectable member is located proximate to the first proximal end and includes a retaining portion that retains the coil spring when the coil spring is located within the inner cavity. The deflectable member is movable between a first unbiased position, where the retaining portion extends into the inner cavity to retain the coil spring within the inner cavity, and a second biased position, where the retaining portion is disposed outwardly to allow the coil spring to be extracted from the inner cavity through the opening.

Abstract: A safety device for a medicament container includes a first sheath having a first ledge and a second ledge, a second sheath telescopically arranged with the first sheath and releasably coupled to the first ledge, and a finger flange having at least one resilient clip adapted to engage the second ledge first sheath.

Abstract: A device for lubricating a surface of a tubular element includes a shaft portion having a longitudinal axis, and a brush portion located on the shaft portion. The brush portion comprises at least one radial projection having a helical form. The protrusion comprises at least one contact zone for contacting a surface. An outer diameter of the helical form formed by the at least one contact zone is tapered at both longitudinal ends of the brush portion such that the outer diameter of the helical form is reduced at the longitudinal ends of the brush portion. The brush portion is formed from a brush portion material and a lubricant agent which is transferred from the at least one contact zone to a surface during use.

Abstract: An apparatus for lubricating a surface of a tubular element for a medicament delivery device includes a rotatable drum comprising a tubular element receiving section configured to receive a tubular element to be lubricated. The drum is rotatable about its central axis. The apparatus comprises a device manipulator comprising a device handler at one end of a rod. The device handler is configured to receive a shaft portion of a device, and the rod moves a device through a received tubular element. The device manipulator is rotatable about the central axis of the rotatable drum.

Abstract: A device for lubricating a surface of a tubular element includes a shaft portion having a longitudinal axis, where the shaft portion is formed from plastic, and a brush portion located on the shaft portion. The brush portion has at least one contact zone for contacting a surface. The brush portion is formed from a brush portion material and a lubricant agent, which is transferred from the at least one contact zone to a surface during use.

Abstract: A spring carrier for receiving, retaining, and discharging of a coil spring in a manufacturing process includes an elongate hollow body defining an inner cavity to receive the coil spring and an opening at a first proximal end of the hollow body for the insertion of the coil spring into the inner cavity and extraction of the coil spring from the inner cavity. The hollow body includes a second distal end opposite to the first proximal end. The hollow body includes a magnetic member to magnetically attract and retain the coil spring when the coil spring is located within the inner cavity.

Abstract: A spring carrier for receiving, retaining and discharging of a coil spring in a manufacturing assembly process comprising an elongate hollow body defining an inner cavity configured to receive a coil spring and an opening at a first proximal end of the hollow body for the insertion and/or extraction of a coil spring into/from the inner cavity. The hollow body includes a second distal end opposite to the first proximal end. At least one deflectable member is located proximate to the second distal end of the hollow body and includes a retaining formation which is configured to engage a coil spring when located within the inner cavity. The deflectable member is movable between a first unbiased position, whereby the retaining formation extends into the inner cavity to engage the coil spring when located within the inner cavity, and a second biased position, whereby the retaining formation is disposed outwardly to disengage a coil spring when located within the inner cavity.

Abstract: Described is a cap for covering a needle shield on a needle of a medicament container, the cap comprising a cylindrical portion having a first outer diameter, a disc portion disposed on a distal end of the cylindrical portion, the disc portion having a second outer diameter larger than the first outer diameter, and a gripping surface disposed on an inner surface of the cylindrical portion and adapted to a frictionally engage a needle shield on a needle.

Abstract: A safety device for a medicament container includes a first sheath having a first ledge and a second ledge, a second sheath telescopically arranged with the first sheath and releasably coupled to the first ledge, and a finger flange having at least one resilient clip adapted to engage the second ledge first sheath.
