A medicament delivery device includes a first component, a second component configured to be movable with respect to the first component, and a temperature-dependent interconnect configured to resist movement of the first component relative to the second component. The temperature-dependent interconnect includes an engagement member and a temperature-dependent material configured to engage each other. The temperature-dependent material has a temperature-dependent material characteristic such that the temperature-dependent material has (i) a first material characteristic at a first temperature of the temperature-dependent material to resist movement of the first component with respect to the second component, and (ii) a second material characteristic at a second temperature of the temperature-dependent material to allow movement of the first component with respect to the second component.

Medicament delivery device

A medicament delivery device includes an actuator including an actuation member configured to be movable by a user to an actuation position to cause a dose of medicament to be dispensed from the medicament delivery device. The actuator is configured to be movable from a deactivated position in which a user is prevented from moving the actuation member to the actuation position to an activated position in which the actuation member is released for movement by a user to the actuation position. The device includes a temperature-dependent actuator configured to move the actuator from the deactivated position to the activated position in response to a change in temperature of the temperature-dependent actuator.
