Abstract: A dose setting mechanism comprising a first element and a second element; the first element being moveable with respect to the second element; the first element and the second element being coupled by a ratchet mechanism allowing motion of the first element with respect to the second element from a first position to a second position only in a first direction while preventing motion in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; once passing the second position, the first element being moveable with respect to the second element in the first direction and in the second direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a drug delivery device for selecting and dispensing a number of user variable doses of a medicament and to a non-numerical display for such a device. The display comprises a housing with at least one window, a dosing element movable relative to the housing during dose setting and/or dose dispensing, and a movable indicator element visible through the at least one window The indicator element is coupled to the dosing element and/or to the housing such that it moves not proportional to the dosing element.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a dose setting mechanism and a drug delivery device herewith, i.e. a handheld injection device for selecting and dispensing a number of user variable doses of a medicament. The dose setting mechanism comprises a dose setting member (50) rotatable relative to a housing (10, 20) in a first direction for dose setting and in an opposite second direction for dose correcting, a cam ring (150) and a coupling member (70) coupled to a drive member (110). A ramped interface (52, 152) is provided between the dose setting member (50) and the cam ring (150) such that rotation of the dose setting member (50) relative to the cam ring (150) in the second direction causes axial displacement of the cam ring (150).

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a mechanism for setting a dose of a medicament for a variable dose drug delivery device, comprising: a housing, a sleeve component configured to rotate relative to the housing during a dose setting operation, and a stop member which is configured to limit a total amount of possible rotation of the sleeve component to a maximum and, thereby, to limit a maximum settable dose, wherein the stop member is configured to allow varying the maximum which determines the total amount of possible rotation of the sleeve component.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to a drug delivery device for selecting and dispensing a number of user variable doses of a medicament. The device comprises a housing (10), a dose selector (80) operable to set a dose by rotation relative to the housing (10), a number sleeve (60) arranged within the housing (10) such that at least a portion of the number sleeve (60) is visible through a first aperture (11b) in the housing (10), and a piston rod (30) coupled to the housing (10) and to a drive sleeve (40). Rotation of the drive sleeve (40) relative to the housing (10) causes the piston rod (30) to translate relative to the housing (10). The piston rod (30) is coupled to the housing (10) via a threaded interface (16, 31) with at least two different pitches.
