Patent number: 7998160Abstract: A lancing device is provided for use with a removable lancet. The lancing device includes a housing and a lancet carrier slidably disposed within the housing and adapted to receive the lancet. A user-actuated ejection slide is mounted to the housing to eject the lancet from the lancet carrier. A locking member is pivotally mounted to the housing. As the ejection slide moves forward, it rotates the locking member to block forward movement of the lancet carrier during ejection. The locking member is configured so that substantially all of the force exerted on it by the lancet carrier is transmitted to the housing via the pivotal mounting.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignees: Abbott Diabetes Care Inc., Facet Technologies, LLCInventors: Ray Adams Lathrop, John Andrew Trissel, Stephen J.
