A device for the automatic injection of doses of a drug compound is described. The device has a sliding sheath which, when depressed with its front end against the injection site, interacts with cam means to activate triggering of a plunger, thus controlling delivery of a drug dose. Plunger guide means are provided for controlling the triggering sequence and means for arming the device in the dose delivery condition. Automatic needle re-sheathing and resetting of a lock-out condition after each dose is delivered are also provided.

Device for automatic injection of drug doses

A device for the automatic injection of doses of a drug is described. The device has a slide and cam means, a syringe unit with a piston, and guide means. The axial movement of the slide initiated by a user by depressing its front end against an injection site, causes an angular displacement of the cam means that, in cooperation with the guide means, controls movement of the syringe piston and therefore administration of a drug dose.
