Abstract
An automatic injector training device comprises an outer structure having i) a rearward end, ii) a forward end arranged to be engaged with an injection site of the user, and iii) an intermediate portion. A manually movable actuating member is movable between a storage position and an activated position by being manually depressed by the user. A prod member is movable within the outer structure between a retracted position and an outwardly extending position when the actuating member is manually moved between the storage position to the activated position. A spring member is disposed within the outer structure and arranged so as to move the prod member from the outwardly extending position to the retracted position when the actuating member is moved from the activated position to the storage position. The actuating member is disposed so that manual movement thereof from the storage position to the activated position moves the prod member against the bias of the spring member so that the forward end of the prod member is moved to extend outwardly from the forward end of the outer structure. Releasable locking elements are disposed within the outer structure and retain the prod member in the outwardly extending position when the actuating member is moved to the activated position and permit the prod member to be moved to the retracted position when the actuating member is moved to the storage position. A safety member is movable between a safety position wherein the safety member prevents manual movement of the actuating member and a non-safety position which permits the actuating member to be manually moved between the activated position and the storage position.
