Patent number: 10583253Abstract: An injection device has a plunger for displacing a stopper in a syringe or carpule, a holder for the plunger, a drive for the axial displacement of the holder of the plunger, and a control device functionally assigned to the drive. The plunger, or at least a subcomponent thereof, relative to the holder, the holder is able to move over a limited distance relative to the plunger or a subcomponent thereof, opposing a pretensioning force, in that a sensor device is included which detects the relative position of the plunger, or at least a subcomponent thereof, relative to the holder, which comprises at least one sensor element which works together with the control device. The control device is designed such that, upon activation of the sensor element, the speed of advancement of the holder of the plunger is at least reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: VETTER PHARMA-FERTIGUNG GMBH & CO. KG.Inventors: Sarah Kühnle, Tobias Kistler, Werner Wurmbauer, Gerhard Lauchard

Patent number: 8376985Abstract: A medication delivery device includes a housing, a door coupled to the housing and moveable between a closed position and an open position. The door permits insertion of a medication container, containing liquid medication, into the housing in the open position. A door opening mechanism is coupled to the door. A push member is axially moveable between a retracted position and a non-retracted position and located external to the medication container. The push member enters the medication container and pushes the liquid medication out of the medication container. A lock mechanism is coupled to the door opening mechanism and prevents opening of the door when the push member is in the non-retracted position inside the medication container, wherein the lock mechanism automatically unlocks the door opening mechanism when the push member is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Ares Trading S.A.Inventors: Vincent Pongpairochana, Timothy John MacLean, Robert Prasser, Gerhard Lauchard, Werner Wurmbauer, Gerhard Kogler
