Patent ID: 7905352

Claim:
A kit containing a medicine injection device and a container, the kit comprising: the medicine injection device, the medicine injection device having a needle and a sheath over the needle, the medicine injection device also having a sheath remover adjacent the sheath and configured to be grasped by a user to facilitate removal of the sheath, the sheath remover having a front surface adjacent the needle, the front surface being substantially flat; a first container barrel part of the container; a second container barrel part of the container, said first and second container barrel parts forming a barrel cavity when joined together, the barrel cavity being configured for retaining the medicine injection device therein; an interlocking mechanism comprising a first component associated with the first container barrel part, and a second component associated with the second container barrel part; the first and second components interacting with one another to form an engagement by which the first and second container barrel parts may be locked to one another; the first and second container barrel parts being fully locked to one another when the engagement is completely tight; one of the first and second container barrel parts having an insertion end and the other of the first and second container barrel parts having a receiver end within which the insertion end is received; the insertion end having an end surface, and the receiver end having a shoulder provided therein which mates against the end surface of the insertion end when the first and second container barrel parts are fully locked together; a cam-containing spreader, said cam-containing spreader being configured to cause longitudinal separation of the first and second container barrel parts when the first and second container barrel parts are twisted in relative angular relationship; the cam-containing spreader and interlocking mechanism being together configured to enable a twist to transition the container from a condition in which the first and second container barrel parts are fully locked together to a condition in which the first and second container barrel parts are not interlocked, to thereby allow rapid opening of the container and quick access to the medicine injection device; and wherein the container includes an inner shelf having an annular ring thereon, wherein said annular ring is directly against the front surface of the sheath remover when the medicine injection device is retained in the container, and is adapted to act as a shock absorber to alleviate loading of forces on the sheath if the container having the medicine injection device therein is dropped.
