Patent number: 8876781Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety pen needle device comprising a first needle shield (60) and a second back-end needle shield (90). During the injection the first needle shield (60) is moved to en retracted position this movement causes a actuation sleeve (31) to rotate. Said rotation causes a holding member (96, 98) provided on the second needle shield (90) to be released. When the first needle shield (60) is moved from the retracted position to a extended position the actuation sleeve (31) is rotated further so that a first guide member (74) on the first needle shield (60) abuts a first stop member (34) arranged on said actuation sleeve (31). After an performed injection both shields are moved to extended positions by the rotation of an actuation sleeve (31). After the injection the shield are locked it their extended position.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: SHL Group ABInventors: Sebastian Karlsson, Lennart Brunnberg, Carlos Guillermo

Patent number: 8617109Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the delivery of predetermined doses of liquid medicament to a patient, which medicament is intended to be inhaled by the patient or intended to be injected into the body of the patient. The device is adapted to be in a medicament delivery state and in a medicament non-delivery state. When the device is in a medicament delivery state, said device is adapted to drive a piston into a cartridge containing the liquid medicament to be delivered, with a force that is above or equal to a predetermined minimum force value and below a predetermined maximum force value. The minimum force value is the lowest force value needed to deliver the predetermined dose and the maximum force value is the first force value at which it exists a risk of damaging the cartridge or the components of the device. Further, more of the spring force is brought to an efficient output torque ensuring that a predetermined volume of medicament is expelled from a cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2006Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: SHL Group ABInventors: Victor Kronestedt, Lennart Brunnberg, Stephan Olson, Tomas Deurell, Anders Karlsson
