An injection device for delivering a dose from a cartridge or syringe. The injection device comprises a housing, a drive shaft, a drive spring for urging the drive shaft to rotate relative to the housing, and a plunger coupled to the drive shaft such that rotation of the drive shaft relative to the housing causes the plunger to move axially relative to the housing. The device further comprises a dose setting member moveable relative to the drive member between a first position in which the dose setting member is rotatable relative to the housing for setting a dose and a second position in which the dose setting member is rotationally fixed relative to the housing for delivering a dose, and a stop member. The stop member is engaged between the dose setting member and the drive shaft such that relative rotation between the dose setting member and the drive shaft during dose setting causes the stop member to travel relative to a first stop surface, and rotation of the dose setting member together with the drive shaft during dose delivery does not cause the first stop member to travel relative to the first stop surface. If the stop member abuts the first stop surface during relative rotation between the dose setting member and the drive shaft, continued travel of the stop member and hence continued relative rotation between the dose setting member and the drive shaft is prevented.

A stopper means (166) closes a proximal end of the second chamber (152) and is movable with respect to the second container (150). An operating mechanism drives relative movement between the first and second containers for causing displacement of the second substance into the first chamber (102) through the valve means (180) when the outlet (112) is closed, for mixing the first and second substances in a mixing stroke of the device.
A device for delivery of a medicament from a container (10) having an outlet (16) at a distal end of the container (10) and a stopper (22) for containing the medicament in the container (10) is disclosed. The device comprises a housing (110, 140), a drive element (300) arranged to move in the distal direction to cooperate with the container (10), a drive mechanism comprising a trigger component (200), the drive mechanism being arranged to hold the drive element (300) in a starting position and to move the drive element (300) in the distal direction from the starting position upon displacement of the trigger component (200) from a working position to a firing position, an interlock component (250) received in the housing (110, 140) and arranged for movement with respect to the housing (110, 140) from a first position to a second position, and at least one flexible locking member (214) arranged to cooperate with a slop face (160) associated with the housing (110, 140) to prevent displacement of the trigger component (200) to the firing position when the interlock component (250) is in the first position. Movement of the interlock component (250) towards the second position causes bending of the flexible locking member (214) away from the stop face (160) to allow displacement of the trigger component (200) to the firing position.

Aspects of the present invention relate to an injection device comprising a housing configured to house a syringe, an activation member, a drive mechanism configured to, upon activation by the activation member, drive the plunger driver between a first, initial, position and a second, final, position thereby to operate the syringe within the housing and a damping mechanism configured to damp movement of the plunger driver in either a forward or rearward motion. In this way, tolerances in plunger position may be accounted for. Plunger position may affect the amount of travel of the plunger driver before the plunger driver is in contact with the plunger and the plunger is in contact with the drug within the barrel. During this travel, the drive force may cause rapid acceleration of the plunger driver, which may then cause damage to the syringe or discomfort to the recipient of the injection when contact between the three elements is made. Damping of the forward motion of the plunger driver reduces or overcomes the risk of this.
