Abstract:
A system and method are provided for preventing a sharp stick hazard from a needle tip of an automatic injector device. In some embodiments, a skin contact surface of the device is attached to an injection site, for example by an adhesive. Optionally a locking mechanism holds a needle extended into an injection site. A body of the device is optionally movably attached to the skin contact surface. Pulling the body away from the injection site optionally moves the body with respect to the skin contact surface. Movement of the body with respect to the skin contact surface optionally moves interlinked parts of the locking mechanism, releasing the locking mechanism.

Claim (Index 21):
A system for shielding a needle of an injection device during removal from an injection site:\n a body having a chassis and a mounting plate pivotably attached to the chassis; a base movably mounted to the chassis and including a contact surface having an adhesive for attachment to an injection zone; the needle being mounted on the mounting plate and a needle tip thereof being movable between an exposed position on a first side of said contact surface, and a shielded position on an opposite side of said contact surface; the mounting plate being movable between a first position and a second position distanced from said first position relative to said contact surface, and the base being movable between an extended position extended away from the chassis and a collapsed position collapsed against the chassis; and a lock engaged with the body in said first position of the mounting plate and said collapsed position of said base, inhibiting movement of said needle tip from the exposed position thereof to the shielded position thereof, wherein movement of said base from the collapsed position to the extended position disengages said lock from said body to allow movement of said needle tip from said exposed position to said shielded position.
