  • Publication number: 20190224416
    Abstract: A part of a device for injecting a liquid product having an end sleeve and a syringe support which is able to move with respect to the end sleeve. The syringe support is designed to bear an injection syringe fitted with a removable protective cap. A deformable ring is kinematically connected to the syringe support. This ring can be deformed elastically between a configuration which is designed to axially immobilize the injection syringe in the syringe support, and a configuration designed to allow the protective cap to pass through the deformable ring.

  • Publication number: 20190224415
    Abstract: This device is intended to receive an injection syringe. The injection syringe has: a syringe body, a piston mounted slidably in the syringe body, and an injection needle fixed to a distal end of the syringe body. The automatic injection device includes a piston control member, which is displaceable in translation with respect to the syringe body, parallel to an axis X, in order to control the displacement of the piston in the syringe body, a piston rod intended to push a proximal end of the piston of the injection syringe, releasable coupling means for coupling the piston control member and the piston rod, an injection spring which bears on the piston control member and elastically stresses the piston control member towards a distal end of the injection needle. The releasable coupling means are positioned axially between the two axial ends of the injection spring.

  • Publication number: 20180311438
    Abstract: An automatic injection device including an injection spring deformable between a compressed state prior to use and a relaxed state after injection. The device includes a plunger control member configured to apply a force to a plunger under the action of the injection spring to allow the plunger to move in the distal direction of the device. The plunger control member bears a stop that is retractable between an active configuration in which it retains the injection spring in the compressed state and a retracted position in which it releases the injection spring. The device also includes a locking member for locking the retractable stop in its active configuration, this locking member being able to adopt a locking position in which it applies pressure to the retractable stop to prevent it from adopting its retracted configuration, and an unlocking position in which the retractable stop is released.

  • Patent number: 9675765
    Abstract: The syringe comprises a body containing the liquid and having fitted thereto an endpiece for fastening a needle carrier. The safety device comprises a protective sheath and a syringe support that is received inside the sheath. The sheath and the support are axially movable relative to each other between two positions, namely an uncovered position of the needle, and a retracted position of said needle. The support includes anti-rotation means for constraining it in rotation about its axis and comprising at least one pawl urged resiliently into a position in which the pawl is designed to co-operate with complementary anti-rotation means of the fastener endpiece. The sheath and the support include complementary anti-rotation means for constraining them in rotation relative to each other about their axes and activated at least when the sheath and the support are in their uncovered position of the needle.

  • Patent number: 9446204
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for an injection syringe, the injection syringe including a body having an injection needle fitted thereon, the device including a plunger rod including a distal plunger part slidably movable in the body of the syringe, and a proximal triggering part, configured to trigger the displacement of a protection sheath, from an injection position, wherein the needle is uncovered, towards a safety position, wherein the needle is covered by the sheath. The proximal triggering part is able to move relative to the distal plunger part once the distal plunger part is at the distal end of its stroke, to trigger the displacement of the protection sheath.
