DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC INJECTION OF DRUG DOSES.

摘要

A device for the automatic injection of doses of a drug compound comprising a sliding sheath (30) which, when depressed with its front end (3) against the injection site, interacts with cam means (26, 27, 28) to activate the triggering of a plunger (8), controlling the delivery of a drug dose. Plunger guide means (44) are provide for controlling the triggering sequence and means (4) for arming the device in the dose delivery condition. Automatic needle re-sheathing and resetting of a lock-out condition after each dose is delivered are provided. The number of the device components is reduced resulting in a simpler structure and cost reduction.
