Medicament delivery device

1. A device, comprising:

a housing;

a needle shield sleeve arranged inside the housing;

a carrier arranged within the needle shield sleeve;

the carrier configured to carry a syringe, the syringe comprising a stopper;

a stop mechanism that prevents rotation of the carrier with respect to the needle shield sleeve;

a first activator member arranged within the housing and coupled to the needle shield sleeve;

a second activator member arranged within the first activator member;

a drive mechanism arranged within the second activator member, and

adapted to accumulate a drive force

for moving the carrier in a first step and

for moving a stopper of a syringe in a second step for expelling a medicament; and

an information device arranged to cooperate with a corresponding interacting device arranged on a distal part of the tubular housing.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein

the drive mechanism is arranged within the second activator member, and adapted to accumulate the drive force for moving the carrier in the first step for penetrating a needle of a syringe into an injection site.

3. The device of claim 1 ,

wherein a remaining drive force of the accumulated drive force in the drive mechanism forces the second activator member to be displaced toward the distal part of the housing.

4. The device of claim 3 ,

wherein the accumulated drive force in the drive mechanism forces the second activator member to be displaced toward the distal part of the housing thereby providing feedback about an injection.

5. The device of claim 1 ,

wherein the information device comprises an information member provided by an end wall of the second activator member.

6. The device of claim 5 ,

wherein the corresponding interacting device comprises an opening arranged on a wall of the distal part of the tubular housing.

7. The device of claim 5 ,

wherein the information member comprises a first color, and

wherein the housing comprises a second color that is different than the first color of the information member.

8. The device of claim 1 ,

wherein the drive mechanism comprises a plunger rod arranged to act on the stopper inside the syringe.

9. The device of claim 8 ,

wherein the drive mechanism further comprises a first compression spring configured for urging the plunger rod to move in the first step.

10. The device of claim 9 ,

wherein the first compression spring of the drive mechanism is configured for urging the plunger rod to move in the second step.

11. The device of claim 9 ,

wherein the first compression spring is arranged at least partially within the plunger rod.

12. The device of claim 11 ,

wherein the first compression spring is arranged between an end wall of the plunger rod and an end wall of the second activator member.

13. The device of claim 8 ,

wherein the plunger rod is slidably and coaxially arranged within the second activator member.

14. The device of claim 8 , further comprising a holding member, the holding member comprises flexible tongues having annular inwardly directed ledges,

wherein the second activator member comprises flexible tongues having annular inwardly directed ledges, and

the plunger rod comprises a circumferential groove having a shape corresponding to the ledges of the second activator member and to the ledges of the holding member

so that the annular inwardly directed ledges of the second activator member and the radial inwardly directed ledges of the holding member fit into the groove.

15. The device according to claim 14 ,

wherein the plunger rod is arranged to be held against the force of the first compression spring

by the inwardly directed ledges of the tongues of the second activator member situated in the groove of the plunger rod.

16. The device according to claim 15 ,

wherein the plunger rod is arranged to be held against the force of the first compression spring

by the first activator member that prevents the tongues from moving radially outwards.

17. The device of claim 16 , further comprising a second compression spring.

18. The device of claim 17 ,

wherein the second compression spring comprises

an annular end resting on a second annular ring of the first activator member and

an annular end resting on a proximal surface of stop ledges of the second activator member.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein

the needle shield sleeve and the first activator member are moved coaxially and distally in relation to the housing and to the second activator member

when the needle shield sleeve is pressed against the injection site for allowing the inwardly directed ledges of the tongues of the second activator member to be released from the groove of the plunger rod,

such that the first compression spring urges the plunger rod to move the carrier in the first step and the stopper in the second step.

20. The device of claim 19 , wherein

the second activator member is arranged to be coaxially and distally moved by a remaining force of the first compression spring after the distal end of the plunger rod pass the ledges of the second activator member such that the tongues are radially moved inward,

whereby the distal end wall of the second activator member strikes against a distal wall of the distal housing part.

21. The device of claim 20 ,

wherein the information member protrudes through the opening,

thereby indicating that the injection has been completed and

that the device can be safely removed from the injection site when the second activator member is distally moved.

22. The device of claim 21 ,

wherein the needle shield sleeve and the first activator member are arranged to be coaxially and proximally moved in relation to the housing and to the second activator member by a force from the second compression spring acting on the first activator member,

when the needle shield sleeve is removed from the delivery site.

23. The device of claim 22 ,

wherein the first activator member comprises ribs on its inner surface arranged to interact with a band-shaped part of the second activator member after the needle shield sleeve and the first activator member are coaxially and proximally moved.

24. The device of claim 22 ,

wherein the first activator member is configured to interact with at least a portion of the second activator member after the needle shield sleeve and the first activator member are coaxially and proximally moved,

so as to prevent distal movement of the needle shield sleeve.

25. The device of claim 1 wherein the stop mechanism comprises at least one carrier guide surface.

26. The device of claim 25 wherein the at least one carrier guide surface cooperates with an inner surface of the needle carrier.
