Further means are provided for releasing the piston rod from the means for guiding the movement, thus enabling a reset of the piston rod to a start position, especially after the receptacle has been emptied and is to be refilled. The device is constructed in such a manner that a reset of the piston rod is facilitated.

Abstract: A drive mechanism for a medication delivery device (1) is proposed, the drive mechanism comprising a housing (13, 17, 40) having a proximal end and a distal end, a rotation member (21) which is adapted to be rotated in a first direction with respect to the housing during setting of a dose of a medication and to be rotated in a second direction with respect to the housing during delivery of the dose, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, a piston rod (12) which is adapted to be displaced in a distal direction with respect to the housing for delivering the dose, a drive member (20) which follows rotational movement of the rotation member in the second direction during delivery of the dose, and a stop member (26) which prevents rotational movement of the drive member with respect to the housing in the first direction during setting of the dose, wherein the rotational movement of the drive member in the second direction is converted into movement of the piston rod in the distal direction wit

Abstract: A drug delivery device comprises an outer housing rollable around a rotation axis and at least one stop member. The stop member protrudes radially from the outer housing of the drug delivery device and is configured to prevent rolling movement of the drug delivery device along a predetermined surface. The outer housing comprises a main housing and a dose member. The dose member is movable with respect to the main housing when setting and/or delivering a dose of a drug. The stop member comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is arranged on the main housing and the second part is arranged on the dose member.

Abstract: A spring element for a drug delivery device is proposed, the spring element comprising multiple windings with two windings being mechanically coupled to each other by a rigid transverse connection. Furthermore, a drug delivery device comprising such a spring element and using such a spring element in a drug delivery device are proposed.

Abstract: A mechanism in the body is used to drive a piston rod and comprises means for guiding the movement of the piston rod relatively to the body while delivering the drug. Further means are provided for releasing the piston rod from the means for guiding the movement, thus enabling a reset of the piston rod to a start position, especially after the receptacle has been emptied and is to be refilled. The device is constructed in such a manner that a reset of the piston rod is facilitated by a stop element inhibiting a reversal of the movement of the piston rod when being reset.

Abstract: The body of a portable drug delivery device, especially an injection pen, is provided on its outer surface with a recess, in which directly accessible information is displayed. The information is protected against damages during everyday use by the recessed location.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a drug delivery device body comprising the following steps: At first a first part of the drug delivery device body wherein the surface of the first part of the drug delivery device body consists of at least one selected area and at least one non selected area is provided. The selected area of the drug delivery device body is a part of the contact area of the first part and a second part of the drug delivery device body to be fixed to the first part of the drug delivery device body. Subsequently a layer of an adhesive is deposited on the surface of the first part; means for deposition of the adhesive only in the selected area are provided. The first part with the layer of adhesive and the second part are joined so that the layer of the adhesive is only arranged in the contact area of the first and the second part of the drug delivery device body.

Abstract: A drive assembly suitable for a medication delivery device comprises a housing, a drive member, a piston rod, a rotation sleeve, a guide member and a biasing member. The rotation sleeve is arranged to be displaced in a distal direction when the drive member is displaced in the distal direction by mechanical interaction of the drive member and the rotation sleeve with the rotation sleeve and the drive member both being guided axially by the at guide member. The biasing member exerts a force on the rotation sleeve acting in the proximal direction, said force being transformed into a rotational movement of the rotation sleeve. The rotational movement of the rotation sleeve being transformed into a rotational movement of the piston rod.
