Single dose medicament delivery device

1 . A medicament delivery device comprising:

a main body;

a syringe arranged in the main body, wherein the syringe comprises a medicament;

a delivery member shield unit slidably arranged in the main body;

a removable cap abutting the delivery member shield unit, wherein the removable cap comprises a snap-fit feature configured to releasably connect to a corresponding snap-fit feature on the delivery member shield unit; and

a plunger rod operatively arranged to eject the medicament through a delivery member attached to the syringe,

wherein, during removal of the removable cap, as a user removes the removable cap both the removable cap and delivery member shield unit move in a distal direction,

wherein the delivery member shield unit includes an axial stop that limits a distal travel of the delivery member shield unit, and

wherein as the user removes the removable cap, after the delivery member shield unit reaches the axial stop the removable cap disengages from the delivery member shield unit.

2 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the removable cap and the delivery member shield unit move together via the snap-fit feature of the removeable cap being connected to the corresponding snap-fit feature of the delivery member shield unit until the delivery member shield unit reaches the axial stop.

3 . The medicament delivery device of claim 2 , wherein the snap-fit feature of the removable cap comprises a first projection, and wherein the corresponding snap-fit feature on the delivery member shield unit comprises a second projection.

4 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the medicament delivery device further comprises a rigid needle shield (RNS) covering delivery member of the medicament delivery device, and wherein, during removal of the removable cap from the medicament delivery device, the RNS is removed from the medicament delivery device.

5 . The medicament delivery device of claim 4 , further comprising an RNS remover, wherein the RNS remover comprises a first engagement feature for coupling to the removable cap and a second engagement feature for coupling to the RNS.

6 . The medicament delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the first engagement feature is a snap-fit feature, and wherein the second engagement feature is a prong.

7 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the medicament delivery device is an automatic injection device.

8 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , further comprising a window in the main body.

9 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the delivery member comprises a needle, and wherein the needle is axially fixed with respect to the syringe.

10 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the delivery member shield unit and the removable cap are axially locked with respect to the main body in a first state, and wherein the delivery member shield unit and the removable cap are unlocked and are axially moveable with respect to the main body in a second state.

11 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the delivery member shield unit comprises a delivery member cover.

12 . The medicament delivery device of claim 11 , wherein the delivery member cover extends distally and locks in an extended position after delivery of the medicament.

13 . The medicament delivery device of claim 11 , further comprising a delivery member shield link coupled to the delivery member cover.

14 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the removable cap includes one or more projections configured to interact with an inner surface of the main body when the device is in a locked configuration.

15 . The medicament delivery device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a tubular member arranged inside the delivery member shield unit, where the tubular member comprises a track and is coupled to the plunger rod,

wherein the delivery member shield unit comprises a pin configured to interact with the track of the tubular member, and

wherein, during removal of the removable cap, the pin on the delivery member shield unit travels in the track on the tubular member so as to cause rotation of the tubular member that releases the plunger rod thereby allowing the plunger rod to travel a predetermined distance so as to automatically prime the medicament delivery device.

16 . The medicament delivery device of claim 15 , wherein the tubular member comprises a first rib and a second rib, and wherein the predetermined distance is a distance between the first rib and the second rib.

17 . The medicament delivery device of claim 16 , wherein the plunger rod comprises a protrusion configured to interact with the first rib, and wherein the rotation of the tubular member moves the protrusion on the plunger rod off of the first rib.

18 . The medicament delivery device of claim 17 , further comprising a spring configured to, after the rotation of the tubular member moves the protrusion on the plunger rod off of the first rib, move the plunger rod in a distal direction until the protrusion interacts with the second rib.

19 . The medicament delivery device of claim 18 , wherein the syringe comprises a stopper, and wherein movement of the plunger rod in the distal direction causes the plunger rod to act on the stopper so as to prime the medicament delivery device.

20 . The medicament delivery device of claim 15 , wherein priming the medicament delivery device comprises expelling a priming portion of the medicament from the medicament delivery device, and wherein the priming portion of the medicament is between 0.05 ml and 0.2 ml.
