| 20110282278 | AUTOINJECTOR - An autoinjector comprising an outer housing in which can be mounted a syringe for holding a volume of medicament, the syringe for holding medicament having a needle at one end thereof, a syringe holder for supporting the syringe in an axial position relative to the outer housing, and an intermediate housing at least part of which is located within said outer housing, characterised in that said intermediate housing is provided with a blocking means capable of abutting the syringe or the syringe holder so as to be capable of preventing forward axial movement of the syringe when a forward axial force is applied to said needle before actuation of the autoinjector to deliver an injection, but incapable of preventing forward axial movement of the syringe during actuation of the autoinjector to deliver an injection. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20100152655 | IMPROVED AUTOINJECTOR SUPPORTING THE SYRINGE AT THE FRONT - An autoinjector comprising a housing in which can be mounted a syringe comprising a barrel for holding a volume of medicament, a needle at one end of the barrel in fluid communication with the medicament and a plunger axially-moveable in the barrel to a forwardmost position, the autoinjector further comprising a syringe support means for supporting the barrel at an axial location at or forward of the forwardmost position of the plunger and having a reaction surface for the syringe, whereby in use said reaction surface ( | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100130930 | AUTOINJECTOR - An autoinjector comprising an outer housing in which is mounted a syringe, the autoinjector further comprising an inner housing intermediate the outer housing and the syringe and an energy source in communication with said inner housing, wherein the inner housing is moveable by the energy source between three positions, namely a first position in. which the inner housing is in communication with the barrel such that, in use, the plunger and barrel are moveable axially so as to move at least part of said needle out of the outer housing; a second position in which the inner housing is in communication with the plunger but not the barrel such that, in use, said plunger is moveable axially into said barrel so as to expel medicament through the needle; and a third position in which the inner housing is in communication with neither the plunger nor the barrel such that, in use, the plunger and barrel are able to retract in order to retract the needle into the outer housing, characterised in that the plunger includes biasing means for axially biasing the barrel, before activation of the energy source, to a position forward of the part of the inner housing which acts on the barrel in said first position. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100069846 | INJECTION DEVICE - An injection device comprising an outer housing inside which is located a medicament-holding barrel with a needle at one end thereof, at least part of the needle being moveable in and out of the outer housing, a plunger moveable within the barrel, an inner housing intermediate the outer housing and the barrel and plunger and an energy source in communication with said inner housing. The inner housing is moveable by the energy source between a first position in which the plunger and barrel are movable axially so as to move at least part of said needle out of the outer housing; a second position in which the plunger is movable axially into said barrel so as to expel medicament through the needle; and a third position in which the plunger and barrel are able to retract in order to retract the needle into the outer housing. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20080228143 | Injection Device - An injection device comprising an outer housing inside which is located a medicament-holding barrel ( | 09-18-2008 |
