Embodiment Construction

[0072] First refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 The drug delivery device 1 is shown as a syringe pen having an elongated substantially writing tool-like form, but other forms are within the scope of the present invention. In other words, the drug delivery device 1 may be a pen-type device. The drug delivery device 1 includes a housing with a cartridge holder 2 and a main (outer) body or housing 4.

[0073] The drug delivery device 1 and the housing have a distal end and a proximal end. The term "distal" designates the end of the drug delivery device 1 or its components that is or will be arranged to be closest to the dispensing end of the drug delivery device 1. The term "proximal end" designates the arrangement of the device 1 or its components to be or will be arranged at the end furthest from the dispensing end of the device 1. The distal end and the proximal end are spaced apart from each other in the direction of the axis. The axis may be the longitudinal axis or the axis of ...

Abstract

A spring assisted drug delivery device (80, 90, 100) is provided comprising a housing (4) and a lead screw (22) having a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end that is rotatably fixed during dose setting and dose delivery and axially moveable in a distal direction relative to the housing. The device further comprises a drive nut (23) threadedly engaged and screwable along the lead screw threaded shaft and a number sleeve (24) threadedly engaged with the housing (4) to be screwable relative to the housing (4). A dial link (25) is connected with the drive nut (23) and axially moveable and rotatably fixed relative to the drive nut (23) and an inner sleeve (29) is threadedly engaged with the number sleeve (24), the inner sleeve (2) being axially moveable and rotatably fixed relative to the housing (4). A mid-body (20) is axially fixed inside of the housing (4). A spring (82, 92, 102) is provided that assists a user of the device during a dose administration step.

Description

Technical field [0001] This patent disclosure relates generally to pen-type injection devices and specifically to a dose setting mechanism for such drug delivery devices. This device provides self-service delivery of medical products from multi-dose cartridges and allows the user to set the delivery dose. The present disclosure can be applied to both disposable and reusable types of drug delivery devices. However, all aspects of the present invention can be equally applied in other occasions. Background technique [0002] The pen-type drug delivery device can be used in situations where routine injections are performed by personnel without formal medical training. This is becoming more and more common among patients with diabetes, where self-treatment allows such patients to effectively control their disease. Diabetes has been shown to cause certain problems. For example, people with diabetes can get high blood pressure, kidney disease, nerve damage, heart disease, and even b...
