Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device comprising a torsion spring operatively connected to a dose setting member being adapted to set a dose to be ejected from the injection device. A rotatably mounted display member adapted to display the dose to be ejected in accordance with a setting of the dose setting member is also provided. The rotatably mounted display member is adapted to be rotated over an angle corresponding to at least one revolution of the display member. The display member may be implemented as a dose indicator barrel having numerals arranged along a helical path on an outer surface thereof, or alternatively, as a counting device having two or more display wheels having numerals arranged on an outer surface thereof.

Abstract: A mechanical injection device for injecting apportioned doses of a liquid drug. The injection device comprises a dose setting assembly comprising a cap and a cap receiving part, adapted to abut or engage with the cap when the cap is mounted on the injection device, and an injection assembly. Mounting and/or dismounting of the cap on/from the injection device causes the dose setting assembly to set a dose. Thereby a correct dose of drug is automatically set during a cap on/cap off cycle. Since such a cycle is normally performed between two subsequent injections, the number of steps required to be performed by the user is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dial-down mechanism for an injection device comprising a torsion spring for assisting injection of a dose of medicament from the injection device, the dial-down mechanism comprising a ratchet arm (21) engaging a ring element (10) and a reset element (30) which acts on a knob located on the periphery of the ratchet arm (21) to move the ratchet arm (21) out of engagement with the ring element (10) in order to allow the set dose to be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a handheld mechanical injection device by which set doses of a liquid medicament can be injected from a medical reservoir. The medicament is expelled through an injection needle by release of a power reservoir in the device, the power reservoir being fully or partially released by actuation of a user operable release member being positioned at or near an upper end of the injection device, the upper end being that end of the injection device which is opposite the injection needle.

Abstract: An injection device (1) for injecting predetermined doses of liquid drug is disclosed. The injection device (1) comprises a dose setting mechanism and an injection mechanism. A torsion spring (12) is connected to the dose setting mechanism and to the injection mechanism in such a manner that energy is stored in the torsion spring (12) during dose setting, and the energy is released during injection, the stored energy being used for causing the set dose to be injected. A first mode defining element (8) and a second mode defining element (9) are angularly movable relative to each other in response to operation of the dose setting mechanism. They are also axially movable relative to each other between a first position in which the dose setting mechanism can be operated to set a dose and a second position in which the injection mechanism can be operated to inject a set dose.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a prefilled injection device having a container and a dose setting mechanism encapsulated inside the housing. The injection device incorporates an axial variable connection such that the distance between the distal end of the piston rod means and the plunger is minimized preferably to zero.

Abstract: A mechanical injection device (1) for injecting apportioned doses of liquid drug. The injection device (1) comprises a dose setting means, an injection means, a removable cap (15) and a cap receiving part (9) adapted to abut or engage with the cap (15) when the cap (15) is mounted on the injection device (1). The dose setting means is operatively coupled to the cap receiving part (9) in such a manner that mounting and/or dismounting of the cap (15) on/from the injection device (1) causes the dose setting means to set a dose. Thereby a correct dose of drug is automatically set during a cap on/cap off cycle. Since such a cycle is normally performed between two subsequent injections, the number of steps required to be performed by the user is reduced.

Abstract: An injection device (1) for delivering a predetermined fixed dose of liquid drug, the device (1) comprising a housing (2), a first and second tubular members (7, 10). The first tubular member (7) and the housing are engaged via a first track (8) and a first protruding part (9), and the first and second tubular members (7, 10) are engaged via a second track (11) and a second protruding part (12). The first track (8) comprises a first portion (8a) which the first protruding part (9) travels during setting of the dose, and the second track (11) comprises a first portion (11a) which the second protruding part (12) travels during setting of the predetermined fixed dose. The first 10 portions (8a, 11a) of the first (8) and second (11) tracks are shaped in such a manner that the second tubular member (10) is prevented from rotating during setting 15 of a dose. The second tubular member (10) is rotationally locked to a piston rod (13), and rotation of the piston rod (13) during dose setting is thereby prevented.

Abstract: An automatic injection device (100) adapted to automatically eject a dose of a medicament by automatically inserting a needle (112) into the skin of a user, ejecting a dose of a medicament through the needle, and subsequently retracting the needle into a housing (122) of the device.

Abstract: A ratchet-free and gear-free one-to-one mechanism for setting a dose in a syringe device comprising a dose setting member adapted to be rotated along a piston rod with a threaded outer surface so as to set a dose to be ejected. During dose setting the piston rod is locked such that rotational movement of the dose setting member does not result in rotational movement of the piston rod. During dose ejection the piston rod and the dose setting member are locked in relation to each other such that translational movement of the dose setting member causes relative rotational and translational movement of the piston rod.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dial-down mechanism for an injection device comprising a torsion spring for assisting injection of a dose of medicament from the injection device, the dial-down mechanism comprising dial-up cam arranged to receive and engage with a dial-up key, wherein the dial-up cam and the dial-up key are adapted to, upon rotation of a dose setting member in a first direction, cooperate to strain the torsion spring of the injection device, and a dial-down cam arranged to receive and engage with a dial-down key, wherein the dial-down cam and the dial-down key are adapted to, upon rotation of the dose setting member in a second direction, cooperate to release the torsion spring of the injection device, the second rotation direction being opposite to the first rotation direction.

Abstract: An injection device (1) with an End-of-Content mechanism. The End-of-Content mechanism comprises a track (91) and a track follower each coupled directly or indirectly to the housing and the dose setting member (20) . When setting a dose, the housing and the dose setting member is rotated relatively to each other thereby also rotating the track-follower in the track a distance corresponding to the size of the set dose. This relative rotation is summarized and stored in the position of the track follower in the track. The housing containing the mechanism is preferably equipped with a transparent (71) area through which a user can inspect the position of the track follower in the track and thereby get a visible warning when the drug reservoir in the injection device is about to be emptied.
