Publication number: 20260014323Abstract: An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament includes an elongate tubular case and a carrier subassembly including a tubular carrier slidably arranged inside the case. The carrier is adapted to contain a syringe with a hollow injection needle, a drive spring, and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe, wherein the syringe is lockable for joint axial translation with the carrier, wherein the drive spring acts between the carrier and the plunger, wherein the plunger, in an initial state, is locked to the carrier by a ramped engagement to the carrier and by being prevented from rotating out of this ramped engagement, depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier in the case, and wherein the plunger is arranged to be released for rotating out of the ramped engagement.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2025Publication date: January 15, 2026Inventors: Simon Francis Brereton, Thomas Kemp, Rosie Burnell, Matthew Ekman

Patent number: 12434003Abstract: An auto-injector includes a housing, a sleeve, a plunger rod, and a drive spring. The sleeve is sized to receive at least a distal portion of a syringe. The syringe is substantially symmetric about at least two planes that are perpendicular to one another. The plunger rod has an axially-extending portion that is substantially symmetric about the at least two planes, and a flange. The auto-injector has (i) a first state in which at least two axially-extending resilient arms hold the plunger rod in a first position relative to the sleeve to prevent a medicament from being dispensed from the syringe and (ii) a second state in which the at least two axially-extending resilient arms are allowed to deflect radially inward to release the plunger rod from the sleeve to allow the medicament to be dispensed from the syringe.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2025Date of Patent: October 7, 2025Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Simon Francis Brereton, Thomas Kemp, Rosie Burnell, Matthew Ekman
