Patent number: 10258540Abstract: An adaptor intended to be mounted on a distal tip of a drug delivery device is provided. The distal tip defines an axial passageway for transfer of a product contained in the drug delivery device. The adaptor has a longitudinal axis A aligned on the axial passageway. The adaptor includes: a connection member for connecting the adaptor to a connector; an inner ring releasably engageable on the distal tip; and a compression component separate from the inner ring and configured to be unreleasably snap-fitted onto the inner ring engaged on the distal tip by proximal movement of the compression component with respect to the inner ring. The compression component is configured to exert a centripetal pressure on the inner ring so as to prevent axial movement of the inner ring with respect to the distal tip.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Becton Dickinson FranceInventors: Gilbert Poncon, Guillaume Grunhut

Patent number: 10159794Abstract: Provided is a drug delivery device including: a reservoir for a product, having a distally projecting end-piece defining an axial passageway for the transfer of the product, with a distal portion, an adaptor having a collar engageable around said end-piece said collar being axially movable with respect to said end-piece, securing structure for limiting the axial movement of said collar with respect to said end-piece, between a most distal position and a most proximal position of said collar, and biasing element for urging said collar towards its most distal position. An adaptor for forming a drug delivery device is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Becton Dickinson FranceInventor: Gilbert Poncon

Patent number: 10159826Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptor for a distal tip of a drug delivery device. The adaptor includes an inner ring having retaining means capable of exerting a radial inward force on said distal tip and of switching from a free configuration to a locked configuration, in which the radial inward force exerted on said conical distal tip limits the axial movement of the adaptor. The adaptor further includes compressing means movable axially with respect to said retaining means between a proximal position, in which said compressing means does not exert a centripetal pressure on said retaining means, and a distal position, in which centripetal pressure is exerted on said retaining means. The invention further relates to a drug delivery device comprising such an adaptor and to a method for mounting said adaptor on said drug delivery device.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Becton Dickinson FranceInventors: Lionel Maritan, Gilbert Poncon, Guillaume Grunhut

Patent number: 9308317Abstract: Provided herein is a drug delivery device including: a reservoir for a product, said reservoir having a distally projecting end-piece defining an axial passageway for the transfer of the product, said end-piece having a distal portion, an adaptor having a collar engageable around said end-piece, and a securing structure for locking the axial movement of said collar with respect to said end-piece. The adaptor further comprises a foldable element capable of going from a folded configuration in which said foldable element substantially surrounds said distal portion of said end-piece, to an unfolded configuration, in which said foldable element leaves said distal portion uncovered. An adaptor for forming a drug delivery device is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Becton Dickinson FranceInventor: Gilbert Poncon

Publication number: 20150202362Abstract: A medical pump comprises a pumping mechanism located in a housing and a display placed on a support member which is articulated on the housing. The support member is pivotable with respect to the housing around a first axis between a folded-back position and an folded-out position. The display is pivotable with respect to the support member around a second axis between a first position, called a non pivoted position, and a second position, called a pivoted position, wherein the first axis and the second axis are parallel to each other. This allows the support member, in a first movement, to pivot around the first axis and, in a second movement, to pivot the display around the second axis. These two movements are independent from each other and it is therefore possible to perform the movements simultaneously or subsequently.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2013Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: Fresenius Vial SASInventors: Rémy Wolff, Gilbert Poncon

Patent number: 8047482Abstract: A device for securing an object on a holder includes a platen attached to the object, a tightening element that pivots relative to the platen so that it can be folded back against the platen or raised perpendicularly to the platen. A lock is provided for locking the tightening element in the position perpendicular to the platen. The lock includes a tab that moves between a stowed position in which, when the tightening element is in the raised position, the tab bears against the tightening element and blocks it in this position, and a drawn out position in which the tab allows the tightening element to pivot towards the platen so that, in the folded position of the tightening element, the tab bears against a face of the tightening means different from the inner face.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2009Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Fresenius Vial SASInventors: Gilbert Poncon, Philippe Traversaz
