  • Publication number: 20120157932
    Abstract: An injection device for injection of set doses of medicine from a cartridge has a nut that is screwed up along a threaded piston rod during a dose setting operation. The nut is screwed along the piston rod by rotating a dose setting member. A rotational coupling mechanism includes an axially displaceable coupling member which is rotated as a function of axial displacement. During dose setting, the nut is allowed to rotate relative to the coupling member. During injection, the coupling member is rotationally locked to the nut. This provides a dose setting and injection mechanism wherein the nut member is both rotated during dose setting and during injection.

  • Publication number: 20110270214
    Abstract: The present invention relates to electronically assisted drug delivery devices (100). The drug delivery device may include a Gray code type detector for sensing dosage data, wherein the detector comprises a code track consisting of a sequence of alternating markings and a plurality of detectors that are mutually spaced in a direction extending along the code track. The drug delivery device may also include a dosage selector (260) which is moved in a proximal direction upon dose setting and in a distal direction upon dose injection, where the dosage selector is latched in the end of dose position by a latching element, the latching element actuating an end of dose switch for signalling the end of dose state. The drug delivery device may also incorporate power-management arrangements which effectively minimizes power consumption for the incorporated electronic circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20090043264
    Abstract: An injection device for injection of set doses of medicine from a cartridge has a nut (13) that is screwed up along a threaded piston rod (4) during a dose setting operation. The nut is screwed along the piston rod by rotating a dose setting member (17. A rotational coupling mechanism includes an axially displaceable coupling member (25) which is rotated as a function of axial displacement. During dose setting, the nut is allowed to rotate relative to the coupling member. During injection, the coupling member is rotationally locked to the nut. This provides a dose setting and injection mechanism wherein the nut member is both rotated during dose setting and during injection.

  • Publication number: 20080221530
    Abstract: An injection device for injection of set dose of liquid medicine from a cartridge has a piston rod (4, 104)/nut (3, 113) assembly where a nut is screwed up along a threaded piston rod during a dose setting operation. During administration of the set dose the nut is also screwed along the piston rod, thus making the piston rod/nut assembly either longer or shorter. During dose setting the nut is screwed along the piston rod by rotating a dose setting drum (17). An injection button is coupled to the piston rod with a gear wheel transmission (9, 109). Movement of the injection button causes a corresponding movement of the piston rod until the nut engages an abutment in the housing (1).

  • Patent number: 7175055
    Abstract: A frontloaded injection device that includes a cartridge holder into which a replaceable cartridge containing a fluid is inserted. The cartridge holder includes a closing element such as a pair of claws which are displaceable in a radial direction. The closing element is provided at the front of the injection device and locks the cartridge by gripping at the neck part of the cartridge after the cartridge has been loaded into the cartridge holder from the front of the injection device. The closing element is preferably biased in an outwardly radial direction when the locking element is moved axially out of the cartridge holder.

  • Patent number: 7008399
    Abstract: A device for injecting preparations is controlled by a sealed circuit block (10) containing integrated sensors (17, 21, 22, 23 24) which monitors selected parameters. Two pairs of integrated Hall elements (21, 23 and 22, 24) monitors movements relative to a sine formed magnetic field presented along the perimeter of a multipoled magnetized ring (7). The Hall elements in each pair are displaced 180° magnetically relative to each other and the two pairs of Hall elements are displaced 90° magnetically from each other. Each pair is coupled to a differential amplifier (25, 26) to provide a cosine and a sine signal, respectively. The sine signal is divided by the cosine signal to create a tangent signal as an entrance to a table showing the angle of the movement.
