Patent number: 11944795Abstract: An injection device is disclosed comprising a plunger for expressing medicament from a syringe and a delivery mechanism arranged in use to provide a forward biasing force to urge the plunger from a first rearward position to a second forward position to express a dose from the syringe. A latch arrangement is provided that releasably holds the plunger against the force of the delivery mechanism. The latch arrangement comprising at least two resilient segments which define opposing sections of an aperture within which a rearward end of the plunger is retained in the rearward position. A trigger is provided for releasing the plunger in use, the trigger being arranged to outwardly deflect at least one of the resilient segments such that the aperture is expanded to release the rearward end of the plunger. A method of manufacturing the injection device is also enclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Owen Mumford LimitedInventors: Callum Davies, Abiodun Falodi, Matthew Farmer, Oliver Gould, Oliver Hyde, Parshia Moghadas, Timothy Muller, Tahir Shabudin

Patent number: 10561798Abstract: An injection device for the delivery of medicament has an indicator for providing an activation indication. The device includes a housing; a plunger slidably mounted within the housing; an actuation mechanism configured, in use, to move the plunger forward relative to a syringe so as to express medicament from the syringe. The device also includes an indicator element responsive to the forward movement of the plunger and configured to provide an audible and/or tactile and/or visual indication when the plunger reaches or approaches its forward position. The plunger includes an elongate shaft formed of at least two telescopic sections. The actuation mechanism acts on the plunger, in use, to expand the telescopic sections and to sequentially move each of the telescopic sections forwardly within the housing. The indicator element is arranged to be responsive to the forward movement of the trailing telescopic section.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2015Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: OWEN MUMFORD LIMITEDInventors: Damian Holland, Oliver Gould, Timothy Muller

Patent number: 9603563Abstract: A lancing device includes a housing (10, 12) and a lancet holder movably mounted within the housing. The lancet holder has a forward portion defining a socket (30) for partially surrounding and retaining in use the rear portion of a lancet. A lancet release element (40, 42) can be moved forward to cooperate with lugs on the socket to expand it to allow insertion and/or removal of the lancet with minimal insertion or withdrawal force.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2012Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: OWEN MUMFORD LIMITEDInventors: Christopher Hudson, Timothy Muller

Patent number: 8017106Abstract: The present invention provides stable aerosol cream mousse composition, preferably hair care composition, that can provide enhanced touch, combability, alignment and volume reduction to the hair, with low or reduced greasy, oily hair feel, while being formulated having a thick, rich, creamy, mousse-type rheology with excellent spreading, perception of spreading, and feel. The aerosol composition is based on the combination of component (A) a cationic surfactant, which is generally a quaternary ammonium compound such as e.g., ditallow dimethyl ammonium chloride; (B) a fatty alcohol, such as cetyl and stearyl alcohol; and (C) carbon dioxide.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Walter Keller, Christian Springob, Bianka Schmich, Timothy Müller
