Patent number: 9872961Abstract: Automatic injection device with trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a button (25), and a single prong (160) extending from a biased element of the device toward the button. A button-engaging surface (167) of the prong and a support surface of the device define a radially extending opening in which an actuating element (52) of the button fits for a radially outward face of the actuating element to be backed up by the support surface. For release of the biased element, when the button is pressed to shift the actuating element to cause a latching surface of the prong to disengage from a latch surface of the device, motion of the actuating element in a direction away from the prong is limited by the radially outward face of the actuating element abutting the support surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Jesse Arnold Fourt, Jennifer Ellen Davis-Wilson, Bradley Simpson, James R. Yurchenco

Publication number: 20170259008Abstract: A cap assembly mountable to a rigid shield around a needle of a syringe. The cap assembly includes a gripper component and a base cap. The gripper component includes a support frame and a liner that is deformable when sandwiched between the support frame and the rigid shield. When the base cap is installed to the gripper component during manufacture, and with the rigid shield disposed in a bore of the gripper component in any rotational orientation relative thereto, the liner is held by the support frame so as to be deformed against and grip the rigid shield for shield removal purposes so as to allow for removal of the rigid shield from around the needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2015Publication date: September 14, 2017Inventors: Jesse Arnold Fourt, James R. Yurchenco, Remy O'Leary Pieron

Publication number: 20160346483Abstract: A needle covering system for a needle of a syringe. A boot of the system defines a contaminant-proof pocket for the needle. A sealing ring portion of the boot forms a seal with a support portion of the syringe. A body of the boot is collapsible to allow movement of a needle pierceable end portion of the boot toward the sealing ring portion for a tip of the needle to pass through the boot end portion for an injection. A securement collar of the system presses the sealing ring against the support portion of the syringe and is a remnant portion of a protective shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: Jesse Arnold Fourt, Jeremy Christopher Koehler

Patent number: 9402957Abstract: An automatic injection apparatus including a delay mechanism for properly delivering medication prior to the needled syringe of the apparatus being retracted. In one form, the delay mechanism includes a shuttle for the syringe, a follower, a locking member, a damping compound between the follower and a supporting surface to dampen rotation of the follower relative to the shuttle, and a dual functioning biasing member acting between the shuttle and the follower. When the locking member moves to a release position during an injection, the dual functioning biasing member first provides a torsional force to force the follower to rotate relative to the shuttle from a latching position to an unlatching position, and then the dual functioning biasing member provides an axial force to force the shuttle axially relative to the follower to move the shuttle for retracting the syringe needle into the housing of the apparatus after injection.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Matthew Robert Adams, Jesse Arnold Fourt, Jonathan I. Kaplan, Paul Joseph Silberschatz, James R. Yurchenco

Publication number: 20160008540Abstract: A trigger assembly for an automatic injection device which by its operation releases a biased element of the device for movement. The trigger assembly includes a button pressable by a user, and a lock member. Prior to the button being plunged, a blocking element on the button is abutted by a button-engaging surface of the lock member to prevent lock member rotation, thereby allowing an engagement surface on the lock member to remain in engagement with an engagement surface of the biased element so as to restrain motion of the biased element. When the button is plunged, the blocking surface moves clear of the button-engaging surface to allow the lock member to rotate, during which rotation the engagement surfaces disengage to release the biased element for movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: January 14, 2016Applicant: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Jesse Arnold Fourt, Bradley James Simpson

Publication number: 20160001004Abstract: A delay mechanism for an automatic injection device having a housing and a medication filled syringe. The delay mechanism includes a shuttle, a follower, a damping compound, at least one biasing member, and a biased plunger element. When moved in the device housing from a first location to a second location, the biased plunger element is adapted to drive the syringe piston within syringe barrel to force medication through the syringe needle for an injection. The follower, when the plunger element is so moved, is freed to move, under urging of the at least one biasing member, from a first position on the housing toward a second position to thereby move the shuttle for retracting the syringe needle into the housing after injection. The damping compound dampens or slows rotation of the follower as the follower moves from the first position toward the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2014Publication date: January 7, 2016Applicant: ELI LILLY AND COMPANYInventors: Jesse Arnold Fourt, Bradley James Simpson

Patent number: 9192724Abstract: A refill module for use with a plunger assembly and having a housing (30), a syringe subassembly (70), a carrier (120) and at least one latching element (170). The syringe subassembly is shiftable within the housing from a retracted position to an injecting position at which its injection tip projects beyond the housing end. The carrier has a passageway in which a plunger of a plunger assembly is insertable for advancement of a piston (80) of the syringe subassembly. The syringe subassembly is engagable by the carrier to be moved from its injecting position to a point at which the injection tip is retracted within the housing when the carrier shifts from a first axial position to a second axial position. The at least one latching element is shiftable relative to the carrier from a retracted arrangement to a latching arrangement such that a latch surface of the latching element restricts a size of the passageway to prevent plunger withdrawal.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: Jesse Arnold Fourt, Jennifer Ellen Davis-Wilson, James R.

Publication number: 20090322647Abstract: A method and apparatus for deploying a multi-element antenna system on a portable television signal processing apparatus. The system utilizes a plurality of spring loaded racks engaged in a pinion restrained by a rotational damper and a manual release mechanism. Each individual rack is attached to a rotational mechanism used to rotate an antenna element around an axis. The springs are compressed when the antenna is in its stored state and released via the manual release mechanism. The released rack and pinion system biases a plurality of rotational mechanisms which respectively extend the antenna elements into their deployed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2006Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventors: Michael Joseph Shawver, Jesse Arnold Fourt, James R.
