Abstract:
Auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament includes a housing to contain a syringe with a hollow needle and a stopper for sealing the syringe and displacing the medicament (M), the housing having a distal end (D) and a proximal end (P) with an orifice to apply against an injection site. A spring means, upon activation, can push the needle from inside the housing through the orifice and past the proximal end (P), operate the syringe to supply the dose of medicament (M), and retract the syringe with the needle after delivering the medicament (M). An activating means can lock the spring means in a pressurized state prior to manual operation and capable of, upon manual operation, releasing the spring means for injection.

Claim (Index 12):
Auto-injector ( 1 ) according to one of the  claims 6  to  11 , characterized in that the syringe ( 4 ) is arranged for joint axial movement with a syringe holder ( 22 ) which is slidably arranged in the retraction sleeve ( 10 ), wherein the syringe holder ( 22 ) is provided with at least two resilient syringe holder arms ( 23 ) arranged distally, the syringe holder arms ( 23 ) having a respective inclined surface for bearing against a second shoulder ( 24 ), which is arranged at the plunger ( 9 ) proximally from the first shoulder ( 19 ) wherein the syringe holder arms ( 23 ) are supportable by an inner surface of the housing ( 2 ) in order to prevent them from being flexed outward and wherein a widened portion ( 2 . 2 ) is provided in the housing ( 2 ) for allowing the syringe holder arms ( 23 ) to flex outwards when the syringe holder ( 22 ) has nearly reached a maximum proximal position thus allowing the second shoulder ( 24 ) to slip through the syringe holder arms ( 23 ) and to switch load of the drive spring ( 8 ) from the syringe ( 3 ) to the stopper ( 6 ).
