The disclosure refers to a grasper for a needle sheath removably arranged over a needle, wherein the grasper comprises The disclosure further refers to a cap and an autoinjector and a method of producing a grasper.

Grasper for a needle sheath, cap, autoinjector and method of producing a grasper

A syringe carrier includes a housing adapted to receive a syringe having a needle encapsulated by a removable protective needle sheath, and two or more flexible arms protruding inwards in a relaxed state and adapted to couple with the syringe in a mounted position. The flexible arms are adapted to deflect radially outwards in a pre-assembled position of the syringe in the syringe carrier. In the mounted position the flexible arms are allowed to return into the relaxed state due, in part, to an axial force operating on the syringe carrier. The disclosure further relates to an autoinjector and a method of assembling the autoinjector.

The disclosure relates to an audible indicator for use with a drug delivery device comprising a bistable resilient force member capable of residing in two states. In a biased state, the resilient force member is biased and stores energy In a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed. The resilient force member releases the stored energy when transitioning from the biased state into the relaxed state, thereby generating an audible signal.

Audible indicator

The disclosure relates to an audible indicator in combination with a drug delivery device having a resilient force member capable of resting in either of two states. In a biased state, the resilient force member is biased and stores energy and in a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed. The resilient force member releases the stored energy when changing from the biased state into the relaxed state, thereby generating an audible signal, wherein the resilient force member is supported by a retaining element in the biased state in order to prevent transition into the relaxed state.

The disclosure refers to a cap assembly for covering a needle shield of an injection device, the cap assembly comprising: a collar, and a cap with a sheath and a bottom, wherein the collar is movable along a longitudinal direction relative to the sheath from an unlocked position not engaging the sheath towards a locked position, force-lockingly engaging the sheath, thereby locking the sheath to the needle shield.

The disclosure relates to a syringe support for supporting an axial position of a syringe relative to a housing of an autoinjector. The syringe support comprises a projecting portion, which projects from the syringe support in a distal direction and a flexible portion which axially adjoins the projecting portion. The flexible portion is adapted to axially bias the syringe in the distal direction within the housing. The disclosure further relates to an autoinjector.

Syringe support and autoinjector

The disclosure relates to a sheath removal mechanism () for removing a protective needle sheath () from a medicament container (), the medicament container () arrangeable in an medicament delivery device (), wherein the sheath removal mechanism () comprises a cap () attachable to a distal end of the medicament delivery device (), wherein the cap () comprises at least one ledge () adapted to engage a protective needle sheath ().

Sheath removal mechanism

The disclosure relates to a drug delivery device, comprising a mechanical audible indicator capable of producing an audible signal with a volume of at least 100 dB.
