Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for expelling a predetermined quantity of medicament comprising driving means comprising an energy-accumulating member, a nut, and a driver for driving a pressure means; and activation means for activating said driving means wherein said pressure means comprises a movable wall part arranged inside a 2 container and a threaded plunger rod arranged to interact with said driving means for pushing said movable wall part forwardly, and wherein said activation means comprises a manually operated push button arranged on the front end of the device for promoting an ergonomic handling of the device and wherein said activation means are capable of interacting with said driving means in a stepwise mode; such that each time said push button is depressed said pressure means moves an step exerting pressure on the medicament inside the container and expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening.

Claims (30)

1. Device for delivering medicament, comprising:

a container arranged to contain medicament, which container further comprises an opening arranged to expel medicament from the container;

pressure means arranged to exert pressure on the medicament inside the container for expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening;

driving means comprising an energy accumulating member, a nut and a driver for driving said pressure means; and

activation means for activating said driving means,

wherein said pressure means comprises a movable wall part arranged inside the container and a threaded plunger rod arranged to interact with said driving means for pushing said movable wall part forwardly due to force from the energy accumulating member and a threaded engagement between the plunger rod and the nut,

said activation means comprises a manually operated push button arranged on the front end of the device for promoting an ergonomic handling of the device, and

said activation means is capable of interacting with said driving means in a stepwise mode, such that each time said push button is depressed, said pressure means moves a step exerting pressure on the medicament inside the container and expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening.

2. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said device comprises a tensioning knob arranged and designed to interact with said energy accumulating member such that when said tensioning knob is actuated, said energy accumulating member is tensioned.

3. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said energy accumulating member is arranged and designed to be in a pre-tensed state.

4. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said nut is arranged and designed to be in a non-rotating state due to two outwardly protruding pivoting pins journalled in the housing, and wherein said nut has a through-going central bore having corresponding threads as the plunger rod.

5. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said driver comprises a number of outwardly directed protrusions evenly spaced around its circumference, and wherein the distance between two adjacent protrusions constitutes a certain predetermined dose quantity.

6. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said activation means comprises an arm on which said push button is arranged, a pinion and an intermediate lever, wherein upon the activation of said push button said arm is capable of interacting with said intermediate lever and said pinion correspondingly, and wherein said pinion is arranged and designed to interact with said driver and said pressure means for expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening.

7. Device according to claim 6 , wherein said pinion has protrusions arranged and designed to interact with protrusions of the driver which is arranged around the plunger rod in a rotationally locked position.

8. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the medicament comprises cosmetic substances.

9. Device for delivering medicament, comprising:

a container arranged to contain medicament, which container further comprises an opening arranged to expel medicament from the container;

pressure means arranged to exert pressure on the medicament inside the container for expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening;

driving means comprising an energy accumulating member, a nut and a driver for driving said pressure means; and

activation means for activating said driving means,

wherein said pressure means comprises a movable wall part arranged inside the container and a threaded plunger rod arranged to interact with said driving means for pushing said movable wall part forwardly,

said activation means comprises a manually operated push button arranged on the front end of the device for promoting an ergonomic handling of the device,

said activation means is capable of interacting with said driving means in a stepwise mode, such that each time said push button is depressed, said pressure means moves a step exerting pressure on the medicament inside the container and expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening, and

said nut is arranged and designed to be in a non-rotating state due to two outwardly protruding pivoting pins journalled in the housing, and wherein said nut has a through-going central bore having corresponding threads as the plunger rod.

10. Device according to claim 9 , wherein said device comprises a tensioning knob arranged and designed to interact with said energy accumulating member such that when said tensioning knob is actuated, said energy accumulating member is tensioned.

11. Device according to claim 9 , wherein said energy accumulating member is arranged and designed to be in a pre-tensed state.

12. Device according to claim 9 , wherein said driver comprises a number of outwardly directed protrusions evenly spaced around its circumference, and wherein the distance between two adjacent protrusions constitutes a certain predetermined dose quantity.

13. Device according to claim 9 , wherein said activation means comprises an arm on which said push button is arranged, a pinion and an intermediate lever, wherein upon the activation of said push button said arm is capable of interacting with said intermediate lever and said pinion correspondingly, and wherein said pinion is arranged and designed to interact with said driver and said pressure means for expelling a predetermined quantity of the medicament through the opening.

14. Device according to claim 13 , wherein said pinion has protrusions arranged and designed to interact with protrusions of the driver which is arranged around the plunger rod in a rotationally locked position.

15. Device according to claim 9 , wherein the medicament comprises cosmetic substances.
