  • Publication number: 20220211945
    Abstract: An automatic injection device is provided, where the device includes a syringe carrier and a retraction assembly. The syringe carrier may include two identical parts that are discrete from one another and interlock with one another. Carrier includes a cushion to support the syringe. Protrusions may be provided on cushion to further support syringe. The retraction assembly includes a shuttle and a follower, the follower having a moveable latch. The follower has a coupled configuration in which the latch is biasedly coupled to the shuttle, and a decoupled configuration in which the latch is in sliding engagement with a curvilinear surface of the shuttle.

  • Patent number: 10350362
    Abstract: An automatic medication injection device (20) including injecting progress indicators (82-85) visible along a periphery of the device housing (23). The injecting progress indicators include a flag element (100) which is movable as a drive mechanism (60) of the device advances a sealing plunger (58) within a container of medication (50). The injecting progress indicators are configured to indicate sequentially during a single injection as the flag element moves to cooperatively complete different injecting progress indicators at different times during the single injection, whereby injecting progress of the injection may be monitored by a user.
