Patent number: 8317751Abstract: An injection device (110) is provided which includes a syringe (122) having a discharge nozzle (118). The syringe is movable between a retracted position in which the discharge nozzle is contained within the housing and an extended position in which the discharge nozzle extends from the housing. A trigger (114) is activatable to allow the contents of the syringe to be discharged through the discharge nozzle. There is also a releasable locking mechanism (116) which, when engaged, prevents the trigger from moving into an active position. The trigger includes a first portion (150) having a cut-out (152) which extends from a first end of the trigger in a direction substantially parallel to the first axis (101). The releasable locking mechanism includes a protrusion (154) along a second axis (181) for communicating with the first portion of the trigger when the releasable locking mechanism is engaged and for communicating with the cut-out when the releasable locking mechanism is disengaged.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2006Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Rosemary Louise Habeshaw, Jonathan Hogwood

Publication number: 20110098655Abstract: An injection device comprises a housing adapted to receive a syringe having a discharge nozzle, the syringe being moveable in the housing on actuation of the injection device along a longitudinal axis from a retracted position in which the discharge nozzle is contained within the housing and an extended position in which the discharge nozzle of the syringe extends from the housing through an exit aperture. There is an actuator and a drive adapted to be acted upon by the actuator and in turn act upon the syringe to advance it from its retracted position to its extended position and discharge its contents through the discharge nozzle. A locking mechanism is moveable from an engaged position in a direction into the housing at the exit aperture into a disengaged position. The locking mechanism is adapted to prevent actuation of the device when it is in its engaged position and permit actuation of the device when it is in its disengaged position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2009Publication date: April 28, 2011Inventors: Douglas Ivan Jennings, Rosemary Louise Burnell, Jonathan Hogwood
