Patent number: 10617825Abstract: A drug delivery device (1) is provided comprising a housing (2), a cartridge holder (3) which is adapted and arranged for receiving a cartridge (4) for holding a plurality of doses of a drug (5), wherein the cartridge holder (3) is removable from the housing (2) to enable an exchange of the cartridge (4), a piston rod (9) adapted and arranged to be moved from an initial position towards an end position for dispensing a dose of drug (5) from the device (1) and to be moved from the end position back towards the initial position to perform a reset operation of the device (1), and at least one resilient member (20, 25). The at least one resilient member (20, 25) is in direct mechanical contact with the piston rod (9) and the resilient member (20, 25) is adapted and arranged to prevent an unintentional movement of the piston rod (9) towards the initial position due to mechanical cooperation with the piston rod (9).Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GMBHInventors: Tobias Stever, Ngoc-Jane Lam, Ulrik Jakobi

Patent number: 9795741Abstract: An assembly for a drug delivery device is provided comprising a housing, a cartridge holder releasably connectable to the housing, a resilient member, and an interaction member which is configured to mechanically cooperate with the resilient member and with the cartridge holder. The resilient member is configured to rotationally bias the interaction member. The assembly has a locked state where the cartridge holder is connected to the housing, the cartridge holder being obstructed from movement with respect to the housing, and an unlocked state where the connection between the cartridge holder and the housing is released, the cartridge holder being freely moveable with respect to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: SANOFI-AVENTIS DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventors: Christiane Schneider, Tobias Stever, Michael Harms, Ulrik Jakobi

Patent number: 9370623Abstract: A drive assembly for a medication delivery device is provided, comprising a piston rod which is movable from a start position to an end position for medication delivery and resettable from the end position to the start position. The drive assembly further comprises a guide member, being in engagement with the piston rod, and an impeding element for impeding a movement of the guide member during a reset of the piston rod and thereby impeding the reset of the piston rod. Furthermore, a medication delivery device comprising the drive assembly is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: SANOFI-AVENTIS DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventors: Tobias Stever, Ngoc-Jane Lam, Ulrik Jakobi, Nils Basso, Olaf Zeckai, Meinolf Werner

Patent number: 9272096Abstract: A drive assembly for a drug delivery device is disclosed. The drive assembly is connectable with a cartridge holder and comprises a housing, a piston rod, the piston rod being movable in a distal direction for drug delivery, and a guide nut, the guide nut being rotatable relative to the housing around an axis of the assembly and provided for guiding the piston rod. A locking means is provided which is enabled to take an engaged state in which the locking means is engaged with the guide nut in order to prevent rotation of the guide nut and to take a disengaged state in which the locking means is disengaged from the guide nut in order to allow rotation of the guide nut. Moreover, a coupling means is provided, the coupling means being rotatable relative to the housing around the axis of the assembly for interaction with the locking means in order to change between the engaged state and the disengaged state of the locking means.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbHInventors: Christiane Schneider, Tobias Stever, Michael Harms, Ulrik Jakobi, Ngoc-Jane Lam, Torsten Kraft
