Abstract
An autoinjector (') for expelling a single dose of a drug from a held cartridge () comprising a piston (). The autoinjector includes a needle shield (′) axially movable from an initial extended position via a triggering position to a trigger release position. The needle shield (′) is operatively coupled to a plunger release element () cooperating with a plunger () to define a releasable retaining mechanism that retains the plunger release element () threadedly engaged with a base thread component () in a predefined relative rotational and axial position and against rotational bias provided by an actuator (). The needle shield (′) is configured for operating the retaining mechanism to release the retaining of the plunger release element () and the base thread component () from the predefined relative rotational and axial position upon the needle shield (′) being moved into the trigger release position.
