  • Patent number: 11317190
    Abstract: A headset comprising a first earphone and a microphone arm, which is rotatable around a first hinge axis, so it can rotate between a use position and a rest position. The microphone arm comprises a first arm part extending from the first hinge and a second arm part extending between the first arm part and a free end. The first arm part and the second arm part are interconnected by a second hinge. The second arm part comprises an engagement part, which during rotation of the microphone arm around the first axis from the use position to the rest position is adapted to engage the earphone, whereby the second arm part is forced to rotate from the second position to the first position.

  • Patent number: 10179212
    Abstract: An injection device for expelling a dose of drug from a held cartridge (600) is described. A needle shield (350, 380) is axially movable relative to a base (200, 220, 230) between a proximal collapsed position and a distal extended position. A needle shield lock comprises a deflectable lock element (392) operable to prevent the needle shield (350, 380) from being moved towards the proximal collapsed position. A lock activator (402) associated with a plunger (310, 400) exerts an activation force on the deflectable lock element when the plunger assumes a final position. A biasing means (403) is arranged to act between the lock activator (402) and the deflectable lock element (392), the biasing means (403) being configured to resiliency transfer the activation force from the lock activator (402) to the deflectable lock element (392) to enable the needle shield (350, 380) to become locked in the distal extended position but only when the plunger (310, 400) assumes the final position.

  • Publication number: 20170143902
    Abstract: An autoinjector (100) for expelling a dose of a drug from a held cartridge (600) is described. A needle shield (350, 380) is axially movable relative to a base (200, 220) between an extended position and a collapsed position to operate a trigger lock (328, 388) configured for releasably maintaining a plunger (310, 400) in an initial axial position against the force of an actuator (330). One of the needle shield (350, 380) and the base (200, 220) defines one or more contact surfaces (382) each being resiliently slideable over a respective cooperating ramp surface (212) formed in the other of the needle shield (350, 380) and the base (200, 220) to provide a resistance to movement of the needle shield (350, 380) during needle shield displacement from the extended position towards the collapsed position. A high resistance to movement is obtained in a first stage of said needle shield displacement followed by a low resistance to movement in a second stage.
