  • Patent number: 10286157
    Abstract: A resettable and reusable auto-injector with a trigger having a pivot axis dividing an elongate body into distal and proximal portions. The proximal portion has a finger surface on an upper section and a bearing surface projecting downwardly configured to engage a button blocker to function as a safety feature to prevent premature firing of the auto-injector before a needle hider is pressed against an injection site.

  • Patent number: 10130775
    Abstract: A medicament delivery device includes a housing having distal and proximal ends along a longitudinal axis. The housing is arranged to accommodate a medicament container and a delivery member connected to the container; a reloadable drive mechanism for acting on an accommodated container; a delivery member cover at the proximal end and slidable in relation to the housing along the axis; and a cover lock mechanism that includes a first lock member on an actuator movably arranged in relation to the housing and a second lock member on the cover. The first lock member engages the second lock member to block movement of the cover, and the actuator is movable in relation to the cover such that manually actuating the actuator generally transverse to the axis causes the first lock member to be moved out of engagement with the second lock member, thereby allowing the cover to be moved.

  • Patent number: 10052436
    Abstract: A medicament injection device arranged to receive a replaceable container subassembly includes front and rear housings releasably connectable to each other. A reloadable drive mechanism is accommodated in the rear housing for acting on the plunger of a replaceable container subassembly for expelling medicament. A needle hider front is slidably arranged within the front housing. A needle shield remover is arranged to connect with a needle shield of the replaceable container subassembly and to be removably inserted into a proximal end of the front housing through the needle hider front. The needle shield remover is adapted to interact with the reloadable drive mechanism such that a user can reload the drive mechanism.
