20150302818 | PEN-TYPE DRUG INJECTOR WITH DOSE ENCODER HAVING PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS AND ALPHANUMERIC SEGMENTED ELECTRONIC DISPLAY THEREFOR - A display arrangement for e.g. a medical substance delivery device includes a movable control member, at least one transducer responsive to movement of the control member to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy to output an electrical signal, a drive circuit for receiving the electrical signal and for outputting an output drive signal, and a display device for receiving the output drive signal and displaying a variable image that varies consequent on the relative movement. The display may be a bistable display, so that the display function is self-powered without a requirement for a battery or the like. The parameter displayed for a medical substance delivery device may be a dose volume, a count of doses delivered, progress and/or completion of a dose. The drive circuit is an absolute position encoder and detects the actual position of the control member and does not deduce the position by counting pulses. | 10-22-2015 |

The drive module has a firing button and a drive plunger released for forward movement by pressing the firing button. The syringe housing slideably receives a syringe holder whose forward movement is initially prevented by internally directed barbs on a cylindrical latching sleeve. The latching sleeve is acted upon by a release ring on the drive module such that as the drive module is screwed onto the syringe housing, the release ring splays the cylindrical shell to release the syringe carrier for forward movement. The barbs also act as a latch to capture the syringe carrier in its rearward position when the drive module is unscrewed from the syringe housing, which returns the barbs to their initial position before the syringe holder returns to its initial position. | 08-11-2011 |

20100286620 | SHEATH REMOVER DEVICE - A sheath remover device is of elongate tubular form having a sheath capture region at one end and a passage along which a captured sheath may pass from the capture region. A plurality of latching fingers, each with an internally directed latch, are equi-spaced in the capture region. Two further inwardly directed latches are on the cut out regions. The sheath remover is designed so that, a sheath already disposed in the sheath capture region is pushed along the passage away from the sheath capture region when the remover is offered up to and engages the subsequent sheath. The spacing of the latches and is such that the earlier sheath is not released from latches until the latches have securely engaged in the subsequent sheath, thereby providing an indication of secure engagement of the subsequent sheath.
