  • Publication number: 20240108811
    Abstract: A drive for a drug delivery device includes a drive mechanism with a drive shaft, a pinion arranged on the drive shaft and a cycloidal drive. The cycloidal drive has a cycloidal disc and a ring gear. The cycloidal disc is driven in an eccentric motion by means of a planet gear, which meshes with the pinion on the drive shaft and with an internal gear of the cycloidal disc. Further, the present application also relates to a drug delivery device with the aforementioned drive.

  • Patent number: 11141536
    Abstract: An injection device provides a casing which accommodates or forms a reservoir for a liquid drug; a plunger rod which can move relative to the casing in an axially forward direction to deliver the drug; a dosing means which can move in the forward direction relative to the casing to prime the reservoir and which can rotate relative to the casing for selecting a dose to be injected, wherein rotation of the dosing means relative to the casing is prevented until a priming operation for priming the reservoir is completed; d) wherein the dosing means comprises a dosing control means which is configured to enable rotation of the dosing means at the end of the priming stroke for selecting the dose and to prevent a rotation of the dosing means back into the position which the dosing means had at the end of the priming stroke relative to the casing.

  • Publication number: 20210038810
    Abstract: An infusion apparatus for delivering medication includes a housing, a drive mechanism, a force sensor, and a transfer element. The drive mechanism comprises first and second conveying elements, the second conveying element for advancing a plug in a reservoir in the distal direction, the first conveying element with limited axial movement relative to the housing but rotatable to cause an ejecting or resetting movement of the second conveying element. The force sensor is arranged along a central axis between the housing and the proximal end of the drive mechanism. The transfer element is axially arranged between the force sensor and the first conveying element and the force sensor bears axial forces exerted by the ejection movement. The second conveying element moves the transfer element away from the first conveying element against the bias of a restoring force such that the force sensor bears axial forces exerted by the resetting movement.

  • Patent number: 10149945
    Abstract: An injection device provides a casing which accommodates or forms a reservoir for a liquid drug; a plunger rod which can move relative to the casing in an axially forward direction to deliver the drug; and a dosing means which can move in the forward direction relative to the casing to prime the reservoir and which can rotate relative to the casing for selecting a dose to be injected. Rotation of the dosing means relative to the casing is prevented until a priming operation for priming the reservoir is completed. The dosing means comprises a dosing control means which is configured to enable rotation of the dosing means at the end of the priming stroke for selecting the dose and to prevent a rotation of the dosing means back into the position which the dosing means had at the end of the priming stroke relative to the casing.
