  • Patent number: 10569024
    Abstract: An assembly includes a cartridge containing doses of a drug and a piston rod adapted and arranged to expel drug from the cartridge, the piston rod including a thread. The assembly further includes a nut member adapted and arranged to be rotated with respect to the piston rod about a rotational axis. The assembly further comprises a last dose stop mechanism adapted including at least one first interaction member and at least one second interaction member provided by the piston rod and at least one first stop member and at least one second stop member provided by the nut member. The interaction members and the stop members are configured to mechanically cooperate with one another such that further relative movement of the nut member and the piston rod for setting a dose of the drug is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20160213852
    Abstract: An assembly for a drug delivery device (1) is described which comprises a cartridge (4) containing a plurality of doses of a drug and a piston rod (9) adapted and arranged to expel drug from the cartridge (4) during a dose delivery operation of the assembly, the piston rod (9) comprising a thread (9a). The assembly further comprises a nut member (13), wherein the nut member (13) is adapted and arranged to be rotated with respect to the piston rod (9) about a rotational axis (7) during a dose setting operation of the assembly, the nut member (13) thereby being axially displaced along the piston rod (9) from a start position towards an end position with respect to the piston rod (9) due to mechanical cooperation of the nut member (13) with the thread (9a).
