  • Publication number: 20220288315
    Abstract: A drug delivery device including a housing, a drug storage container, and a removable cap is provided. The removable cap may be configured to be removably coupled with the housing such that the removable cap has a storage position where the removable cap is coupled with the housing and at least partially covering an opening in the housing and a removed position where the removable cap is not coupled with the housing. The removable cap may include an outer portion, an inner portion, and a gap separating at least a portion of the inner portion and at least a portion of the outer portion such that the at least a portion of the outer portion is allowed to bend with respect to the at least a portion of the inner portion if the at least a portion of the outer portion is subjected to an external force.

  • Publication number: 20210260302
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing, an injection assembly at least partially disposed in the housing, a shield, and a drive assembly at least partially disposed in the housing and coupled with the injection assembly and the shield. The shield has an extended position where at least a proximal end thereof extends a distance beyond a proximal end of the housing. The injection assembly includes a needle or cannula having an endpoint. Upon moving the shield axially towards the distal end of the housing a predetermined distance, a retraction profile commences whereby the drive assembly administers a medicament via the injection assembly. A peak resistance force is exerted within approximately the first 12 mm of axial movement of the shield.

  • Publication number: 20210093792
    Abstract: A drug delivery device and method of using the same may include a housing having an opening and a drug storage container including a delivery member with an insertion end configured to extend at least partially through the opening. The drug storage container may be coupled with the housing such as to substantially prevent relative movement therebetween. A guard may be positioned adjacent to the opening and operably coupled with the plunger biasing member such that a relative movement between the guard and the housing permits release of a plunger biasing member to urge a plunger in to expel a drug from the drug storage container. A lock component may be configured to resist the relative movement between the guard and the housing until the lock component is released by a user force, whereafter the user force drives the housing and the drug storage container toward an injection site.

  • Publication number: 20200390977
    Abstract: A rotatable drive mechanism for a drug delivery device may include a lead screw having a distal end, a proximal end, and external threads, a bearing, and a ball screw driver having a threaded aperture wherein the threaded aperture is configured to rotatably engage with the external threads of the lead screw. The mechanism may further include a biasing device disposed between the bearing and the ball screw driver generating an axial drive force, and an activation device configured to release the biasing device and allowing the biasing device to expand from a compressed position to an extended position through which the axial drive force of the biasing device causes the ball screw driver to axially move toward the distal end of the lead screw and rotate the lead screw such that a threaded engagement between the lead screw and the ball screw driver bears the axial drive force.

  • Publication number: 20150052006
    Abstract: This invention discloses a novel system for displaying fashion designs presented at runway shows in order that retail customers may purchase the designs directly and as soon as they become available after the runway show. The system includes a device application intended to be operated on a user's portable computing device for displaying images, receiving selection input from the user and conducting purchase transactions and fulfillment through the system. The system includes a novel system of permitting a user to select fashion looks and to be automatically alerted when those looks become available for purchase. For high demand items, the system has a priority queuing system that automatically manages the selection of users given the opportunity to purchase the high demand item.

  • Publication number: 20060033306
    Abstract: A suspension system attachable to a frame of a vehicle for absorbing shocks caused by bumps along a vehicle travel path is provided. The suspension system may comprise a lower arm, upper arm and toggle link which are connected to respective first and second toggle link pivot points and first and second frame pivot points. The toggle link may further define a wheel axis which is interposed between a toggle link line and an output. In this regard, the wheel axis may traverse along a wheel axis travel path having a constant radius about the output center as the lower arm, upper arm and toggle link cooperatively rotate about respective pivot points in response to bumps along a vehicle travel path.
