Publication number: 20260061138Abstract: The invention relates to a gripper comprising a gripper body. The gripper body extends around, and defines, an opening through which a first axis extends. The opening lies in an opening plane. The gripper further comprises a plurality of teeth and each tooth extends towards the first axis along a tooth axis. Each tooth comprises a root portion and a body portion. The body portion comprises a planar tip portion and the root portion connects the tooth to the gripper body and defines a region about which the tooth can resiliently bend relative to the body. The planar tip portion is resiliently biased to an initial position in which the planar tip portion of each tooth lies in a plane which is offset from the opening plane along the first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2025Publication date: March 5, 2026Inventors: Neil Cammish, Mark Horlock, Christophe Raossanaly

Patent number: 12161843Abstract: An automatic drug delivery device, for dispensing a fluid medicament, includes: a longitudinal housing; a removable cap; a syringe assembly having a hollow syringe body and an injection needle; and a drive mechanism. The loaded drive mechanism is operatively coupled with a safety shield movable within the longitudinal housing. The safety shield is biased into a proximal position in which it protrudes out of the proximal end of the longitudinal housing in order to cover a needle tip of the injection needle. The safety shield is movable into a distal position in which the injection needle is exposed for injection. The device includes a feedback mechanism providing a visual feedback to the user indicating an actual state of operation. The feedback mechanism includes a visual indicator which appears in a transparent window on the distal end of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Jacques Appy, Andrew Bryant, Neil Cammish, Congyi Huang, John Palmer-Felgate, Claudio Rossi, Oliver Shergold, Gianluca Tordi, Adrian Francios Von Muralt, Mark Horlock
