| 20160058951 | Drug Injection Device with Particular Optical Window Elements for Unambiguous Legibility of Dose Value - An arrangement comprising an optical element and an indication member for a drug delivery device is provided. The indication member comprises a plurality of indicia. The optical element comprises an imaging section and a light-transmissive non-imaging section, wherein the indication member is movable with respect to the optical element such that the indicia can be successively moved into a display position relative to the optical element. The imaging section is configured such that, when a first indicium is arranged in the display position, the first indicium is imaged by the imaging section into an imaging solid angle. The non-imaging section is configured such that light defining a second indicium is deflected by the non-imaging section such that the second indicium cannot be identified by a user in the imaging solid angle on a viewing side of the optical element. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160067409 | Supplemental Device for Attachment to an injection Device - A supplemental device for attachment to an injection device including a dosage window covering a sleeve on which dose values are marked is disclosed. The supplemental device comprises a main body; an arrangement for supporting the main body of the supplemental device in a predetermined positional relationship with the injection device; a transparent protection window located at a surface of the main body that is aligned with the dosage window of the injection pen when in use; a sensor arrangement supported in the main body and having a sensor directed at the protection window; an illumination arrangement comprising one or more sources of light, each of the one or more sources of light being directed at the protection window; and a dispersing part, which may be diffusing or scattering, located on an optical path between a first one of the one or more sources of light. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160067412 | DRIVE MECHANISM OF A DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE - The present invention relates to a drive mechanism of a drug delivery device for dispensing of dose of a medicament, the mechanism comprising: —an elongated housing ( | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160067416 | ASSEMBLY FOR A DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE AND DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE - An assembly for a drug delivery device is provided, the assembly having a compression spring, wherein the compression spring is compressed during the setting of a dose of a drug. The assembly further comprises a sleeve member, wherein the compression spring is in direct contact with the sleeve member and wherein the compression spring and the sleeve member are configured such that a relaxation of the compression spring effects a rotational and an axial movement of the sleeve member in a proximal direction, thereby causing a dispensing of a dose from the drug delivery device. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160095978 | DRUG INJECTION SYRINGE - A drug injection syringe includes an injection needle assembly and a syringe body. The injection needle assembly includes an injection needle, a needle hub, an elastic body, and a fitting sleeve. The fitting sleeve accommodates the needle hub and the elastic body and has a fitting hole formed in a female taper shape. The syringe body includes an outer tube and a drug discharge tube formed in a male taper shape. The syringe body is attached to the injection needle assembly by pushing the drug discharge tube into the fitting hole by a press fitting. The elastic body couples the drug discharge tube and the injection needle in a liquid-tight manner by compressively deforming, due to the press fitting, at a protruding portion disposed on a periphery of the pocket and stretching against an inner wall of the fitting hole. | 04-07-2016 |
| 20160129187 | Torsion Spring Injection Device Having An End-Of-Dose Mechanism - The present invention relates to a torsion spring based automatic injection device for apportioning set doses of a liquid drug and which injection device is provided with an End-of-Dose feedback mechanism providing a user with an audible signal once the set dose has been injected. During injection, the scale drum rotates back to its “zero” position under influence of the torsion spring. This rotation is halted shortly before reaching the “zero” position by stopping means. The scale drum is thereafter only allowed to continue rotation and thus reach the “zero” position once the torque applied to the scale drum by the torsion spring surpasses a threshold value. | 05-12-2016 |
