Title: Injection device with locking mechanism for syringe carrier
Inventor: JENNINGS DOUGLAS IVAN
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2008-07-28
Granted: 2013-04-18
Abstract: An injection device comprises a locking mechanism (171a, 171b) between a syringe carrier (128) and an end cap (111) of the injection device. The cap is formed in such a way to inhibit movement of the syringe carrier and syringe towards an exit aperture of the injection device when the cap is located in its closed position on the injection device. A needle shield (123) located on the needle of the syringe is removed by rotating the cap whilst the locking mechanism remains engaged. On removal of the cap, the locking mechanism is no longer so engaged and the syringe and syringe carrier can move towards the exit aperture. This assists in preventing damage to the syringe prior to actuation of the injection device.
