Patent number: 10765809Abstract: A reloadable auto injector has a needle insertion driver to be re-activated upon reloading. A syringe is movably positioned in a housing between a first position and a second position. A plunger rod is locked to a plunger rod tube by a deflectable locking member. A syringe driver applies a force to the syringe to move the syringe together with plunger rod tube, plunger rod and plunger rod driver from the first position to the second position. In the second position, the locking member is unlocked and releases the plunger rod to thereby activate the plunger rod driver to advance the plunger rod in the syringe for delivering of medicament. A reload handle is connected to the syringe assembly so that user operation of the reload handle retracts the syringe to the first position and simultaneously reloads the syringe driver for delivering a further dose of medicament.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: MERCK PATENT GMBHInventors: Soeren Bechmann, Flemming Madsen, Esben Johansen

Publication number: 20170348487Abstract: A reloadable auto injector for epinephrine injection is provided. The reloadable auto injector has a separate needle insertion and medicine injection drivers (1600) wherein needle insertion driver (1200) is configured to be re-activated upon reloading. A syringe is movably positioned in a housing between a first position in which the needle is accommodated inside the housing and a second position in which the needle protrudes outside the housing. A plunger rod (1500) is normally locked to a plunger rod tube (1100) by at least one deflectable locking member (1110). A syringe driver (1200) applies a force to the syringe to move the syringe together with plunger rod tube, plunger rod and plunger rod driver from the first position to the second position. In the second position, the locking member (1110) is unlocked and releases the plunger rod to thereby activate the plunger rod driver to advance the plunger rod in the syringe for delivering of medicament.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2017Publication date: December 7, 2017Applicant: MERCK PATENT GMBHInventors: Soeren BECHMANN, Flemming MADSEN, Esben JOHANSEN

Publication number: 20150101599Abstract: An inhaler for delivery of a medicament by inhalation is disclosed. The inhaler comprises a dispensing mechanism, the dispensing mechanism being configured to dispense a dose of medicament on actuation. The inhaler further comprises a dose counting mechanism comprising a counter and a translating member. The translating member comprises a pawl. The counter comprises a first count wheel, a second count wheel and an intermediate wheel engaged with the second count wheel and in selective engagement with the first count wheel. When the inhaler is fired to dispense a dose of medicament, the dispensing mechanism moves the translating member in a substantially linear direction. The pawl thus rotates the first count wheel, and as the first count wheel rotates, the intermediate wheel is selectively engaged thereby selectively rotating the second count wheel to count the doses of the inhaler.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2012Publication date: April 16, 2015Inventors: Christopher Simon Berry, Jonas Christiansen, Svend Erik Elgaard, Esben Johansen, Claus Schmidt Moller, Jorgen Rasmussen, William Richard Treneman

Publication number: 20070272585Abstract: A dispenser with child protection and a method of operating the dispenser. Friction engagement, engagement using leaf springs or rotatable elements, or engagement directly on e.g. blisters on blister packs are used. Also, biasing against an edge portion and displacement of the holding means edge portion is described in order to remove the engagement. Release mechanisms not visible to children are described as well as the use of multiple independent release mechanisms, which makes release more difficult for children.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2004Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Paul Fabricius, Lars Knudsen, Esben Johansen
