Cap for a medicament delivery device
A cap for a medicament delivery device is presented having a cap body and a medicament delivery member shield remover arranged in the cap body. The medicament delivery member shield remover has a tubular body extending along an axis in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end and extending in a circumferential direction around the axis, a slit in the tubular body extending in the axial direction, and a first protruding element extending from the tubular body towards the axis, and a second protruding element. The second protruding element has two protrusions extending from the tubular body away from the axis. The two protrusions are arranged on opposite sides of the slit in the circumferential direction. The cap body has a tubular body extending in the axial direction with a slit extending in the axial direction and having a tapered portion that tapers towards the distal end.
1 . A cap for a medicament delivery device, the cap comprising:
a cap body; and
a medicament delivery member shield remover arranged in the cap body, wherein the medicament delivery member shield remover comprises:
a tubular body extending along an axis in an axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end and extending in a circumferential direction around the axis;
a slit in the tubular body extending in the axial direction;
a first protruding element extending from the tubular body towards the axis; and
a second protruding element,
wherein the second protruding element comprises two protrusions extending from the tubular body away from the axis,
wherein the cap body comprises:
a tubular body extending in the axial direction from a proximal end to a distal end; and
a slit in the tubular body of the cap body, the slit extending in the axial direction, wherein the slit comprises a tapered portion that tapers towards the distal end of the tubular body of the cap body,
wherein the medicament delivery member shield remover is moveable in the axial direction relative to the cap body; and
wherein the two protrusions of the medicament delivery member shield remover are arranged in the slit of the cap body.
2 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the slit in the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover extends in the axial direction from the distal end of the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover.
3 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the slit of the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover extends at least 50% of the distance from the distal end of the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover to the proximal end of the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover.
4 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the two protrusions are arranged adjacent to the slit in the circumferential direction.
5 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the two protrusions are ribs that extend in the axial direction.
6 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the medicament delivery member shield remover consists of only one slit in the circumferential direction.
7 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the first protruding element and/or at least a portion of each of the two protrusions is closer to the distal end of the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover than to the proximal end of the tubular body of the medicament delivery member shield remover.
8 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the slit of the cap body extends from the proximal end of the tubular body of the cap body.
9 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the tapered portion is a U shape or a V shape.
10 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the tapered portion is adjacent to the second protruding element in the axial direction.
11 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the tapered portion is spaced apart from the second protruding element in the axial direction.
12 . The cap of claim 1 , wherein the cap body comprises an inner cap body and an outer cap body.
13 . The cap of claim 12 , wherein the inner cap body is moveable in the axial direction relative to the outer cap body.
