Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptor for a distal tip of a drug delivery device. The adaptor includes an inner ring having retaining means capable of exerting a radial inward force on said distal tip and of switching from a free configuration to a locked configuration, in which the radial inward force exerted on said conical distal tip limits the axial movement of the adaptor. The adaptor further includes compressing means movable axially with respect to said retaining means between a proximal position, in which said compressing means does not exert a centripetal pressure on said retaining means, and a distal position, in which centripetal pressure is exerted on said retaining means. The invention further relates to a drug delivery device comprising such an adaptor and to a method for mounting said adaptor on said drug delivery device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic injection device (1) comprising: a container aligned on a longitudinal axis A and movable between a first position and a second position, in which the needle is inserted, biasing means, laterally spaced with respect to said longitudinal axis A, and coupled to the container for moving it to its second position, via linking means, retaining means (70) for maintaining said biasing means in a first stressed state, deactivating means (80) capable of moving along a transversal direction for releasing said retaining means, triggering means (90) for releasing said deactivating means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for automatic injection of a product into an injection site, the device comprising: a container having a displaceable piston; a tubular housing having at least a flexible part which, in a rest state, defines a first opening; a piston rod; and, an intermediate part fixed to the piston rod which defines a diameter larger than the first opening. With sufficient distal displacement of the piston rod, the intermediate part causes the at least a flexible part to deflect outwardly with further distal displacement of the piston rod causing the intermediate part to wholly pass through the first opening with the at least a flexible part returning towards the at rest state, engagement of the at least a flexible part with a surrounding element under force of movement towards the at rest state generating a sound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dose counting device (10) for coupling with a medical container filled with a number N of doses of a product to be withdrawn therefrom, said medical container being provided with an opening for access to said product, the dose counting device comprising: —a gripping member (20) for securing the dose counting device to the medical container, said gripping member including a hole (44) intended to face said opening when said dose counting device is coupled to said medical container, —a counting ring (30) rotatably mounted with respect to said gripping member, said counting ring being provided with information data corresponding to the N doses, a cover (50) movable with respect to said opening between a closed position, in which said cover prevents access to said opening and to said product, and an open position, in which it does not prevent access to said opening and product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic injection device (1) comprising: a container having a longitudinal axis A and movable between a first position and a second position, in which the needle is inserted, biasing means, for moving the container to its second position, retaining means (70, 73, 74) for maintaining said biasing means in a first stressed state, triggering means (90) for releasing said retaining means, said retaining means comprising a lever member having a pivoting part and a radial projection extending therefrom, said radial projection being in a first angular position when said retaining means is in its passive condition, said radial projection being in a second angular position, different from said first angular position, when said retaining means is in its active condition, the axis of said pivoting part being included in a transversal plane of said longitudinal axis A.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic injection device (1) comprising: a container (2) having a longitudinal axis A and movable between a first position and a second position, in which the needle is inserted, biasing means (8), for moving the container to its second position, retaining means (70, 74, 74b) for maintaining said biasing means in a first stressed state, triggering means (90, 91e) for releasing said retaining means, said retaining means comprising a lever member having a rotatable cylinder part and a radial projection extending therefrom, said radial projection being in a first angular position when said retaining means is in its passive condition, said radial projection being in a second angular position, different from said first angular position, when said retaining means is in its active condition, said rotatable cylinder part being included in a transversal plane of said longitudinal axis A.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device including a container, intended for receiving a product and provided with an injection needle and a housing receiving the container. The container is movable relative to the housing between an initial position, an insertion position, and a final position.
