  • Patent number: 12357762
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a metering mechanism for an injection device. The mechanism comprises an actuating element for setting or discharging a dose from the injection device, a piston rod for producing an advance movement for dispensing a dose, a piston rod sleeve in which the piston rod is accommodated such that the piston rod can be non-rotatably connected to the piston rod sleeve, and a coupling element with which the actuating element and the piston rod sleeve can be coupled for discharge of the dose set with the actuating element. To prevent underdosage, the piston rod comprises a stop and the coupling element comprises a counter-stop which move relative to each other at least during setting of a dose and which abut each other in a maximum dose stop position, thereby preventing further setting of a dose.

  • Patent number: 12357763
    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to an injection device comprising a housing, a cartridge holder having a first attachment member, a threaded sleeve insert axially and rotationally constrained to the housing, the threaded sleeve insert having a second attachment member for releasable attachment with the first attachment member, and a metering mechanism. The metering mechanism comprises an actuating element, a piston rod, a piston rod sleeve in which the piston rod can be non-rotatably connected in the piston rod sleeve, and a coupling element coupling the actuating element and the piston rod sleeve. The piston rod can be non-rotatably connected to the piston rod sleeve by a coupling sleeve. The cartridge holder is attached to the threaded sleeve insert by axially moving cartridge holder with respect to the threaded sleeve insert and the housing to engage the coupling sleeve with the piston rod sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20210244891
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a metering mechanism for an injection device. The mechanism comprises an actuating element (1) for setting or discharging a dose from the injection device, a piston rod (2) for producing an advance movement for dispensing a dose, a piston rod sleeve (3) in which the piston rod (2) is accommodated such that the piston rod (2) can be non-rotatably connected to the piston rod sleeve (3), and a coupling element (4) with which the actuating element (1) and the piston rod sleeve (3) can be coupled for discharge of the dose set with the actuating element (1) in such a way that a dispensing movement of the actuating element (1) is transmitted to the piston rod (2) by way of the piston rod sleeve (3) connected to the piston rod (2).
