Patent NZ-302558-A (NZ)
Title: Dispensing apparatus with a medication cartridge with a manually adjustable metering mechanism
Inventor: BURROUGHS ANDREW
IPC: A61M5/31
Filed: 1996-02-05
Abstract: Apparatus, e.g. the pen-shaped medication dispensing device (as illustrated), for delivery of an injectable product, comprises a housing 24, 26, a container 40 secured to the housing and including an inner chamber 212 for the injectable product, a piston 210 and an exit (delivery needle 222).  A drive stem 38 is disposed in the housing in engagement with the piston.  A length of axial movement of the drive stem with respect to the housing between a pre-injection position and a post-injection position defines a stroke length of the drive stem.  The apparatus further comprises means, for maintaining the drive stem in engagement with the piston by preventing axial retraction of the drive stem away from the piston, and a manually adjustable dosage metering mechanism.  The dosage metering mechanism comprises a nut 36 rotatably engaging drive stem 38 and a dial assembly rotatably and axially engageable with the nut.  The metering mechanism is disposed in the housing and has an initial axial position, wherein the stroke length is zero, and a dose setting axial position corresponding to a selectively adjustable positive stroke length.  The metering mechanism is movable between the initial axial position and the dose setting axial position by movement of the dial assembly by a user.  Means are coupled to the metering mechanism for preventing movement of the mechanism from the initial axial position to the dose setting axial position until the mechanism has been set to a zero dose radial position (as illustrated).  A clutching mechanism (e.g. splines 144 and 192) rotatably disengages nut 36 and the dial assembly in the initial position and engages the nut and dial assembly in the axial position whereby rotation of the dial assembly in the axial position repositions the nut with respect to the drive stem and rotation of the dial assembly in the initial axial position does not reposition the nut.  Axial advancement of mechanism 34 from the axial position and a positive dose radial position, towards the container, to the initial axial position, drives the drive stem from the pre-injection position to the post-injection position
