A drug delivery device for administering a predefined dose of a medicament comprising a housing is presented where the housing includes a body to accommodate a drive mechanism, a cartridge holder to accommodate a cartridge having a piston slidably disposed therein in an axial direction (z), and an interconnection between cartridge holder and body. The interconnection has, at least one displaceable or resiliently deformable latch element to mate with a corresponding bearing, and the latch element is displaceable or deformable in a direction (z, w) extending substantially parallel to a circumferential side wall of the body or cartridge holder.

A drive assembly for a drug delivery device is disclosed. The drive assembly is connectable with a cartridge holder and comprises a housing, a piston rod, the piston rod being movable in a distal direction for drug delivery, and a guide nut, the guide nut being rotatable relative to the housing around an axis of the assembly and provided for guiding the piston rod. A locking means is provided which is enabled to take an engaged state in which the locking means is engaged with the guide nut in order to prevent rotation of the guide nut and to take a disengaged state in which the locking means is disengaged from the guide nut in order to allow rotation of the guide nut. Moreover, a coupling means is provided, the coupling means being rotatable relative to the housing around the axis of the assembly for interaction with the locking means in order to change between the engaged state and the disengaged state of the locking means.

Drive assembly for a drug delivery device and corresponding drug delivery device

The drive mechanism is suitable for a permanent delivery of a drug from a compact drug delivery device, which may be carried on the body. The drive mechanism comprises a flexible advance cable bearing a coupling feature of longitudinal extension. The advance cable is guided by a guide means. A drive means engages the coupling feature and thus enables an advancement of the advance cable according to the guide means. An end piece is provided to push a plug or bung of a cartridge containing a drug, and the end piece is driven by the advance cable. The drive means is permanently engaged with the coupling feature. This allows a permanent advancement of the plug or bung by means of the drive mechanism.
