Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device comprising a housing having a proximal end and contains a container of medicament positioned within the housing in a medicament container holder. The medicament container can be dual chambered, for example a pre-filled medicament container having a needle, a dose of medicament and one or more sliding stoppers. The medicament container holder can be configured with a recess or pocket to accommodate the loading of a dual chambered container and interact with an inside surface of the housing to rotationally fix the container holder relative to the housing and the medicament container. A tubular activation member, e.g., a needle cover, is slidably positioned within a housing of the delivery device to move from a first position to a second position, and then to a final locked position. A plunger rod can only move proximally relative to the needle cover when the needle cover is in the second position.

Abstract: The plastic toy building block is provided with electrical contacts to determine its position. The block has a basic body having recesses extending from top to bottom in its interior. In these are each inserted, combined into packets, several discrete elastically resilient conductor wires clamped between plastic strips. Elastically resilient conductor wires protrude downward into the recess. Contact points protrude from the plastic strips at the top. Several electrical cables are led from each nub to the underside of a nub plate to discrete contact points. Except for the nub surfaces, the nub plate can be covered by a cover plate and hereafter can be placed with the nub plate on the basic body of the toy building block. The lower contact points on the film then make electrical contact with the upper stubs and thus with contact points of the conductor wires.
