  • Publication number: 20220160975
    Abstract: A device having a body (10), a reservoir (100) mounted to slide axially relative to the body, a metering valve (200) on the reservoir (100), a blocking element (500), a trigger element (600), an inhalation-controlled trigger system (60) cooperating with the trigger element, an actuating member (800) cooperating with the blocking element, a cover (11) fixed on the body, a push member (810) fastened tot actuating member (800) and mounted to slide axially in the cover, and a spring (850) between the cover and the push member. Before inhalation, the push member is out of contact with the reservoir, such that the force exerted on the push member by the spring is not transmitted to the reservoir, and during inhalation, the push member moves axially with the actuating member so as to come into contact with the reservoir and move it axially in the body to actuate said valve.

  • Patent number: 9895492
    Abstract: An autoinjector having a lower body (10; 1010) receiving a reservoir, a piston, a needle, an actuating sleeve (11; 1011) with a contact end to contact the user. The actuating sleeve is displaceable between projected positions and an actuation position, being in a first projected position prior to actuation of the autoinjector. The autoinjector also having an injection device (5, 8; 1005, 1008) and an injection lock. The actuating sleeve is automatically returns to the second projected position when the user removes the autoinjector from his body and is locked in this second projected position. The autoinjector includes an external shell (22; 1022) having a display window for indicating the actuation sequences, at least one display window (221; 1221; 1023) indicating to the user that the injection of the fluid product is finished.

  • Patent number: 9707357
    Abstract: An autoinjector that receives a pre-filled syringe, having a central body and an actuator sleeve provided with one end that comes into contact with the user. The actuator sleeve can be moved between projecting and actuation positions and it is in the projecting position prior to and following the actuation of the autoinjector. An injection mechanism is provided to inject the product when the needle is inserted into the user's body. The autoinjector also includes a barrel movement device to move the needle into the injection position and retract the needle from the body following injection. The movement device includes a control ring rotatably mounted in the central body, the ring having an inclined internal profile that engages with an internal projection of a control sleeve that can move axially in the central body, such that the sleeve moves axially when the ring is rotated.
