Patent number: 11951036Abstract: A device for providing a droplet of a liquid stored in an interior of a vial is disclosed that includes a support body and a resilient dome portion mounted to the support body to form a chamber having air, with the dome portion being configured to create an air flow when activated by compression. The support body includes a vial seat, a nozzle, and air flow and transfer conduits. The support body is arranged, when the vial is received by the vial seat, such that the air flow conduit establishes an air connection between the vial interior and the chamber, the transfer conduit establishes a fluid connection between the vial and the nozzle, and, upon activation of the dome portion, the air flow delivers air into the vial that causes liquid to be transferred from the vial to the nozzle through the transfer conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC.Inventors: Maxime Gaillot, Roberta Leah, Declan Reilly, Thomas Thueer, Jack Carroll, James Coop, Edward Sims, Mark Teucher

Patent number: 11951073Abstract: A device for transferring a liquid from a first vial to a second vial is disclosed having a dome portion configured to create an air flow when activated by compression and re-expansion, and a support body tightly supporting the dome portion to form a chamber with air therein. The support body includes first and second vial seats, and a transfer conduit. The first and second vial seats are arranged to receive the first and second vials. When the first and second vials are received in the first and second vial seats, the transfer conduit is arranged to establish a fluid connection between the first vial and the second vial. Upon activation of the dome portion, air is delivered into the first vial, thereby creating a pressure rise in the first vial which causes the liquid to transfer from the first vial to the second vial through the transfer conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC.Inventors: Maxime Gaillot, Roberta Leah, Declan Reilly, Thomas Thueer, Jack Carroll, James Coop, Edward Sims, Mark Teucher

Patent number: 10561792Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a drug delivery device comprising a housing retaining a primary drug delivery assembly and a secondary drug delivery assembly. The secondary drug delivery assembly comprises a secondary dose setting mechanism with a biasing member adapted to reset the secondary dose setting mechanism in a resetting movement. An actuator is movable relative to the housing and comprises a first engagement section configured to engage a second engagement section provided by an actuation collar such that an actuation movement of the actuator is transferred to the actuation collar. A setting element is movable between a first position and a second position and is connected to the secondary dose setting mechanism such that during the resetting movement of the secondary dose setting mechanism, the setting element is moved from the second position into the first position.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Marc Holtwick, Wolfgang Marx, Andreas Bode, James West, Paul Hayton, James Coop, Christopher Kilbane

Patent number: 10463802Abstract: Drug delivery device comprising a housing retaining a primary drug delivery assembly for the delivery of a primary medicament with a primary dose setting member configured to rotate in a helical movement to set a dose of the primary medicament and a secondary drug delivery assembly for the delivery of a secondary medicament. A dose dial is movable between a first position and a second position in axial direction and is rotationally constrained with respect to the housing when moved from the first position into the second position and is rotationally constrained to the primary dose setting member in the second position for setting a dose of the primary medicament. A secondary drive sleeve of the secondary drug delivery assembly serves for dispense of the secondary medicament. The dose dial and the secondary drive sleeve can be coupled for dose setting.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Paul Hayton, James West, James Coop, Stephen Francis Gilmore

Publication number: 20180161500Abstract: Disclosed herein is a drug delivery device with a primary drug delivery assembly for the delivery of a primary medicament, with a primary dose setting member; and a secondary drug delivery assembly for the delivery of a secondary medicament with a secondary dose setting member. A dose dial is rotationally constrained with respect to the housing in a first axial position and is rotationally constrained to the primary dose setting member in a second axial position. A bridging component is axially constrained to the dose dial to set a dose of the secondary medicament, wherein rotation of the dose dial to set a dose of the primary medicament causes the dose dial to move relative to the bridging component in axial direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2016Publication date: June 14, 2018Inventors: Stephen Francis Gilmore, James West, James Coop, Paul Hayton

Publication number: 20150328044Abstract: A guide device for assisting the application of a liquid from a dispenser to the eye of a subject has a mount to hold the liquid dispenser in the guide device, a rest to align the guide device with the subject head, and an indicator, selectively visible to indicate when the guide device is tilted at or beyond a minimum guide angle. Preferably, the indicator is selectively visible to indicate when the guide device is tilted at, or between, the minimum guide angle and a maximum guide angle. Said minimum guide angle corresponds with a minimum predetermined tilt of the subject head suitable for delivery of the liquid from the dispenser. The maximum guide angle corresponds with a maximum predetermined tilt of the subject head suitable for delivery of the liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2013Publication date: November 19, 2015Inventors: James Coop, Gary Thomas CROSBY, Howard Peter DUFFIELD, Mark Andrew Hailey, Mark Teucher, James WEST
