  • Patent number: 11400224
    Abstract: A safety arrangement for being used in a medicament delivery device, comprising a container holder with a body section and a flange seat and a shell. The container holder is arranged to receive a container with a longitudinal body at one end passing over into a distal flange and at an opposite end passing over into a proximal orifice via a shoulder, such that the distal flanges of the container contacts the flange seat of the container holder. Moreover, the container holder is arranged in the shell such that the container holder is movable in a proximal direction in relation to the shell. A blocking element is arranged between the shell and the container holder. A blocking initiating structure is arranged to reposition the blocking element when the container holder is moved in the proximal direction in relation to the shell from a first position to a second position.
