  • Patent number: 9802003
    Abstract: A medication delivery device having a housing having a proximal and a distal end, a medication receptacle designed to be engaged with the distal end of the housing by engagement of a first engagement feature with a second engagement feature and a dosing mechanism. The dosing mechanism includes a piston rod which is rotatable and moveable in a distal direction for medication delivery and a drive device for moving the piston rod in the distal direction for medication delivery. The medication receptacle includes an actuation element that brings a guiding element in a guiding position. The guiding element guides the piston rod for medication delivery. The first engagement feature and the second engagement feature are moveable into engagement by a movement of the medication receptacle which ends in a rotational movement without axial movement of the medication receptacle with respect to the housing.

  • Patent number: 9205196
    Abstract: A method of preventing setting a dose which exceeds an amount of medication contained in a medication receptacle of a medication delivery device. The device comprising a piston rod comprising a second stop element, a drive device for moving the piston rod, and a dose setting member for setting a dose. The method comprising the steps of moving a dose limiting member which comprises a first stop element axially with respect to the piston rod during dose setting, and utilizing the first and second stop elements to stop an axial movement of the dose limiting member in the proximal direction when the first and second stop elements catch, limiting a movement of the dose setting member for increasing a set dose of medication. The dose limiting member and the piston rod only interact directly, when the first and second stop elements catch.

  • Patent number: 8579867
    Abstract: A medication delivery device comprising a housing, a medication receptacle, a piston rod which is moveable distally, and a drive device for rotating the piston rod in a first rotational direction. The piston rod comprises two threaded sections, a first threaded section for threaded engagement with a reset element and a second threaded section for threaded engagement with the drive device. In an operational state, the reset element is prevented from rotating and the piston rod prevented from moving proximally. In a resetting state, the reset element is allowed to rotate, such that the delivery device is resettable by rotating the piston rod and the reset element in a second rotational direction and moving the piston rod proximally.
