Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device comprising a dose setting member for setting user variable doses of a medicament and a display for indicating the dose set by the dose setting member. The display comprises a number wheel, which is rotationally coupled to the dose setting member and is provided with a series of markings on its outer circumference, and at least one prism deviating the image of the markings of the number wheel, e.g. by 90°.

Abstract: A method for assembling a drug delivery device that includes mounting a cartridge with a bung, the mechanism, the plunger and the spring within a housing such that a spring biases a plunger in a dispensing direction and that a drum and/or the release member is attached to the plunger attaching a tool with torque measurement capability to the drum or a release member of a dose mechanism in a state where at least one housing part is detached from further housing part; setting a dose by rotating the dose setting member in a first direction, activating a trigger and monitoring the torque applied to the drum or the release member; releasing the trigger upon detection of a predetermined change in the torque measured by the tool; and releasing the tool and closing the housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drive mechanism which is suitable for an injection device, especially a drug delivery device. The mechanism comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis defined by a compartment for receiving a cartridge, a plunger suitable for acting on a bung of a cartridge retained in the housing, a strained pressure spring arranged between the housing and the plunger, a retaining member coupled to the plunger, and a release member operable between a first state, in which the release member constrains the retaining member to the housing, and a second state, in which the release member is movable relative to the housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drug delivery device comprising a dose setting member (70) for setting user variable doses of a medicament and a display for indicating the dose set by the dose setting member (70). The display comprises a number wheel (100), which is rotationally coupled to the dose setting member (70) and is provided with a series of markings on its outer circumference, and at least one prism (90) deviating the image of the markings of the number wheel (100), e.g. by 90°.
