Patent number: 11964140Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an injector device having a housing, a cartridge with a reservoir for medicament, a needle unit with a needle, and a needle sleeve rotatably mounted to the housing about an axis. Prior to use of the injector device the needle is sealed from the reservoir, and at least one of the needle unit and the cartridge is axially slidably mounted to the housing. The needle sleeve includes an engagement member arranged to engage the needle unit and/or the cartridge. The engagement member is adapted such that rotation of the needle sleeve moves the needle unit and/or the cartridge in an axial direction to move the needle into fluid communication with the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SanofiInventors: Beate Franke, Ulrich Brueggemann, Jeff Kablik

Publication number: 20240050663Abstract: An injector device includes a housing and a cartridge having a reservoir for medicament. The injector device further includes a needle unit comprising a needle, and an actuator. The needle unit is movably mounted to the housing and, prior to use of the injector device the reservoir, is sealed from the needle. The actuator is configured to move the needle unit into engagement with the cartridge such that the needle is moved into fluid communication with the reservoir. A thread is arranged to cause rotation of the needle unit as the needle unit moves into engagement with the cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Beate Franke, Ulrich Brueggemann, Jeff Kablik

Patent number: 11839750Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device that includes a housing having an axis, and a needle sleeve that is axially movably within the housing. Axial movement of the needle sleeve into the housing is configured to actuate an injection process. The needle sleeve includes a first part that is slidably mounted to the housing, and a second part that protrudes from the housing and is rotationally coupled to the first part. The needle sleeve includes a locking mechanism that is configured to prevent axial movement of the needle sleeve into the housing until the second part of the needle sleeve has been rotated relative to the first part of the needle sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: SanofiInventors: Beate Franke, Ulrich Brueggemann, Matthias Rau, Jeff Kablik
