Patent number: 10159801Abstract: Assembly for a drug delivery device and drug delivery device An assembly for a drug delivery device (1) is described comprising an activation member (6A) adapted and arranged to be axially moved in a delivery direction for triggering a dose delivery operation of the assembly, a first interaction member (17) and a second interaction member (18) which are adapted and arranged to mechanically cooperate with one another during a dose delivery operation of the assembly and to be rotated with respect to one another during the dose delivery operation, wherein the assembly is configured such that movement of the activation member (6A) in the delivery direction brings the interaction members (17, 18) into mechanical contact for generating a friction between the interaction members (17, 18), wherein an amount of friction controls a relative rotational speed of the interaction members (17, 18) during a dose delivery operation. Furthermore, a drug delivery device comprising the assembly is described.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Michael Jugl, Axel Teucher, Marc Holtwick

Patent number: 10137251Abstract: An assembly for a drug delivery device is provided, the assembly having a compression spring, wherein the compression spring is compressed during the setting of a dose of a drug. The assembly further comprises a sleeve member, wherein the compression spring is in direct contact with the sleeve member and wherein the compression spring and the sleeve member are configured such that a relaxation of the compression spring effects a rotational and an axial movement of the sleeve member in a proximal direction, thereby causing a dispensing of a dose from the drug delivery device.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Marc Holtwick, Michael Jugl, Axel Teucher

Patent number: 10039880Abstract: A dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device. The dispense interface comprises a main outer body and an inner body. The inner body may be configured for connection to a drug delivery device and defines a first reservoir and a second reservoir. A first piercing needle is in fluid communication with the first reservoir and positioned for piercing a first cartridge of a drug delivery device. A second piercing needle is provided and in fluid communication with the second reservoir and positioned for piercing a second cartridge contained with a drug delivery device. A manifold is positioned adjacent the inner body and comprises a fluid groove arrangement. A valve arrangement is positioned between the inner body and the manifold and controls fluid communication of a first fluid contained in the first cartridge and a second fluid contained in the second cartridge by way of the fluid groove arrangement to a holding chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2012Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbHInventors: Marc Holtwick, Ilona Eggert, James Alexander Davies, Simon Lewis Bilton, David Moore, Steven Wimpenny, Christopher Nigel Langley, Jeffrey Zajac

Patent number: 9962500Abstract: The invention faces the technical problem of providing a tight connection between a tube and an dispense interface, while at the same time the biocompatibility of the connection can be improved. The technical problem is solved by an apparatus comprising a tube configured to guide a medium and a dispense interface. The tube comprises a first opening and a second opening, while the dispense interface comprises a recess. The recess has a first opening and a second opening and the tube is at least in part inserted into the recess. The tube is permanently affixed to the dispense interface by a combination of an interference fit and an adhesive, such that the interference fit prevents the adhesive from contaminating the medium.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbHInventors: Marc Holtwick, Jeffrey Zajac, James Alexander Davies, Simon Lewis Bilton, David Moore, Steven Wimpenny, Christopher Nigel Langley
