Abstract

The present invention relates to a drug delivery device in which the drug to be delivered is stored in a cartridge having a movable piston inside it. The movable piston is driven by a lead screw (6) to expel the drug, which lead screw (6) is advanced and retracted by suitable drive means (14). Provide a guide slot (16) through which the lead screw can pass. However, in known devices the guide slots are held in place by other parts of the device. Such devices are complex to manufacture. Additionally, they may need to be disassembled and reassembled when changing cartridges. This is disadvantageous if the user, usually diabetic, is weak or has poor eyesight. The drug delivery device disclosed in the present invention includes a main housing (3), a threaded lead screw (6) with opposite flat surfaces, a rotary drive (14) and a guide sleeve (16), the rotary drive has a corresponding On the inner wall surface of the relatively flat surface of the lead screw, the guide sleeve has a hole for receiving the threaded lead screw, wherein the guide sleeve is permanently fixed to the main housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a drug delivery device, such as an injection or infusion device. In particular, the invention finds particular, but not exclusive use in a drug delivery device in which the drug to be delivered is stored in a replaceable cartridge having a movable piston inside it. Such devices are commonly used, for example, by diabetics for the administration of insulin. Background technique [0002] In such devices, a lead screw or other plunger drives a movable piston to expel the drug. The lead screw can be easily advanced or retracted by a suitable drive. It is known to provide a drive mechanism in which the rotational motion of an electric motor or other suitable drive means is converted into linear motion of a lead screw. [0003] It is known to provide a guide slot or bushing through which the lead screw can move. However, in known devices the guide slots are held in the desired operative position by other components of the...
