The disclosure refers to an apparatus, including a needle unit including a needle arranged along a first axis, a needle shield which covers the needle, a main part, a connector for connecting the needle shield to the main part by a positive connection or an adhesive bond, such that the needle shield is removed when the main part is moved along the first axis away from the needle.

Apparatus for removing a needle shield

An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) is present having a tubular chassis telescopable in a tubular case, a carrier subassembly comprising a tubular carrier slidably arranged relative to the chassis inside the case, where the carrier is adapted to contain a syringe with a hollow injection needle. The injector also has a drive spring and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe, wherein the syringe is lockable for joint axial translation with the carrier. A control spring is arranged around the carrier for translating the carrier in a proximal direction (P) for insertion of the needle through the chassis into an injection site.

A drug delivery device includes a case adapted to hold a medicament container, a plunger disposed within the case and slidable from a proximal position into a distal position for delivering a medicament from the medicament container, at least one feedback mechanism that is in operative connection with the plunger. The feedback mechanism comprises a collar, a control spring biasing the collar in a distal direction, a needle shroud, operatively axially abutting the collar in a first coupled state and prevented from axially decoupling the collar by the plunger in its proximal position The plunger, when approaching the distal position during movement from the proximal position towards the distal position, is adapted to allow axial decoupling of the needle shroud from the collar, allowing for a limited axial movement of the collar relative to the needle shroud until the collar axially abuts the needle shroud in a second coupled state.

Drug delivery device with feedback mechanism

An apparatus is arranged to receive and retain a needle shield for a medicament delivery device, the apparatus comprising a body comprising a wall defining a void and an opening in a proximal end of the body, the opening arranged to allow at least a part of the needle shield to be received into, and at least partially fill, the void, and arms extending from the wall into the void, wherein the arms are configured to engage the needle shield when the needle shield is received in the void and prevent the needle shield from being withdrawn from the void through the opening in the proximal end and wherein at least one of the arms has a first angle with respect to the wall and at least one of the arms has a second angle with respect to the wall that is different to the first angle.

Apparatus for removing and retaining a needle shield

The disclosure relates to a drug delivery device comprising:

A drug delivery device, comprising, an assembly comprising a circlip and a holding element, a device body; a medicament container comprising or adapted to comprise a medicament; wherein the circlip is configured in a deformed state to engage a surface of the medicament container in order to prevent relative movement in at least one direction of the medicament container with respect to the circlip; and wherein the holding element is configured to hold the circlip in the deformed state.

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.
