Description
SYRINGE NEEDLE COVER REMOVER
Technical field
The present invention relates to syringe needle cover removers and to injection devices incorporating such removers.
Background
Various types of injection devices are available for assisting with the injection of a medicament into a patient (human or animal), and which are configured to receive a standard, pre-filled glass or plastic syringe tipped with an injection needle. These devices may have a dose setting mechanism and a main drive spring for driving a plunger into the syringe so as to expel the medicament out through the needle. Injection devices may comprise a further spring for driving the needle out of the device housing into the patients skin, prior to activation of the main drive spring to expel the medicament.
In order to maintain sterility prior to use, and to avoid "sticking" injuries, the pre-filled syringe is supplied to the injection device assembler with a rubber or plastic cap or "boot" covering the needle. The boot has an interior space for containing the needle, and a sealing end that abuts the adjacent end of the syringe body to seal that inner space. Immediately prior to use, a user (e.g. healthcare professional or patient) must remove the boot to uncover the needle.
This is typically achieved using a boot removal tool that is inserted by a user into the injecting end of the device. The tool comprises a set of sprung fingers that ride over and along the boot as the tool is pushed into the device. The fingers then snap into the junction between the syringe end and the boot. The user can the pull out the tool, bringing the cap with it.
Particularly in the case of expensive medicaments, it is extremely important to minimise the failure rate of assembled injection devices. Considering the boot removal solution outlined in the previous paragraph, it may be difficult to achieve exactly the right degree of flexibility in the fingers to ensure that they can ride over the boot whilst still providing sufficient force to close over the junction at the rear of the boot.
Summary
It is an object of the present invention to provide a boot removal mechanism that is both easy to use and reliable, reducing the failure rate of assembled injection devices.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided apparatus for facilitating the removal of a boot from a pre-filled syringe, the boot providing a sterile cover for a needle of the syringe, and the syringe being configured to be loaded into an injection device, the apparatus comprising: a substantially cylindrical housing defining an opening for receiving a boot attached to a pre-filled syringe; a plurality of fingers arranged within the housing and being deflectable in a substantially radial direction by the boot when the boot is inserted into the housing, ends of the fingers being provided with respective formations for snapping into a channel formed at the junction of the boot and a shoulder of the syringe; and a collar arranged to slide over the fingers between a first position in which the fingers are free to deflect and a second position in which such deflection is prevented.
In an embodiment of the invention, the apparatus comprises collar drive means coupled to said collar and extending through a second opening in the housing axially opposed to said first mentioned opening, wherein the collar drive means can be pushed into the housing to move the collar from said first position to said second position. The collar drive means may comprise a second set of fingers spaced circumferentially around the collar and being deflectable in a radial direction as they pass over the boot.
The cylindrical housing may comprise an outer cylindrical wall dimensioned to fit around the outside of an injection end of an injecting device, and an inner cylindrical wall dimensioned to fit inside the outside of the injection end, said first mentioned set of fingers depending from an end of said inner cylindrical wall.
The collar and the first mentioned set of fingers may be provided on their respective radially inner and outer surface with cooperating features that engage to snap the collar in place in said second position.
In a further embodiment of the invention, said fingers depend from a substantially annular base member, the fingers and the base member being slideably mounted within said housing. Said collar is formed integrally with said housing, the collar being defined by a sloping inner wall of the housing. Said first and second positions of the collar are defined with respect to the base member and fingers. In said first position, said sloping wall is out of engagement with said fingers allowing the fingers to deflect, whilst in said second position said sloping wall is in engagement with said fingers preventing the fingers from deflecting.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided an injection device comprising a pre-filled syringe having a needle and a boot providing a sterile cover for the needle, and means for assisting with the injection of medicament from the syringe, the device further comprising apparatus according to the above first aspect of the invention.

Detailed Description
Apparatus will now be described that enables the easy and reliable removal of a boot or cap covering a needle of a pre-filled syringe. As has already been outlined above, an assembler of injection devices (e.g. auto-injectors and the like) will obtain pre-filled syringes from a supplier. The assembler may have little or no influence over the design of the syringes including the boots, and may therefore have to ensure that its device design and assembly process is compatible with the syringe design.
A typical syringe comprises a body containing the medicament, a plunger located within the body and extending outwardly therefrom, and a hypodermic needle coupled to the opposite end of the body. A rubber or plastics boot covers the needle and seals around a shoulder portion of the body. Figure 1 illustrates in cross-section such a pre-filled syringe 1 with body 2 and boot 3. At the junction between the boot 3 and the distal end of the body 2, a small axial gap or channel 4 exists. Figure 1 further illustrates in cross-section an injecting device 5 comprising a boot remover 6. For simplicity, not all components of the injecting device are shown, although the Figure does show a generally cylindrical casing or housing 7 with locating formations for retaining an inserted syringe. The casing is of a rigid plastic material. Once inserted, other device components (not shown) are inserted into the casing, behind the syringe, to lock the syringe in place and to provide a driver to inject the med icament (and insert the needle if this functionality is provided).
Figure 2 shows in more detail a cross-section through the boot remover 6 of the injecting device. The boot remover is also of a rigid plastic material, and comprises two components. A first of these components 8 comprises a generally cylindrical outer wall 9 which turns at an injecting end into an inner cylindrical wall 10. This inner wall extends part-way through the outer wall, and a set of resilient clamping fingers 11 depend from the end of the inner wall, beyond the end of the outer wall 8. It will be appreciated that in the absence of an additional restraining force, the clamping fingers 11 exhibit a small degree of flexibility in a radial direction.
A second component 12 of the boot remover 6 comprises an annular collar 13 which, in the position illustrated in Figure 2, is located around the inner wall 10.
A set of drive fingers 14 are formed integrally with the collar, depending therefrom, and project from the collar through an injecting end opening 15 provided in the first component 8. The drive fingers are angled towards the central axis of the boot remover such that they converge together at their distal ends.
Figure 3 illustrates a first intermediate assembly state of the injecting device and syringe of Figures 1 and 2. As the syringe is pushed through the casing 7, the boot 3 will eventually come into contact with ramps 16 formed on respective clamping fingers 11 of the boot remover 6. The boot will deflect these fingers outward to a small extend, causing them to ride up and travel across the boot as it is pushed further into the casing. Figure 4 illustrates a second intermediate assembly state in which the syringe has been pushed into the casing to an extent where the ramps 16 on the clamping fingers snap into the gap 4 formed at the junction between the boot 6 and the syringe body 2. This prevents further insertion of the syringe into the casing.
It will be appreciated that, in the assembly state illustrated in Figure 4 with the collar 13 in a first, unlocked position, the clamping fingers 11 remain free to flex.
If a user were to pull off the boot remover from the injection device, there is a danger that the ramps 16 may not grip behind the boot sufficiently to cause the boot to be removed with the boot remover. Therefore, in order to ensure that the boot is gripped securely, the next stage in the assembly process is to push the drive fingers 14 into the device casing 7. Figure 5 illustrates the drive fingers pushed part-way into the casing. This in turn pushes the collar 13 over the inner wall 10 and the clamping fingers 11 until detents 18 formed in the underside of the collar engage the complimentary dimples 17 formed on the exterior surfaces of the clamping fingers (these features are illustrated in Figure 2), snapping the collar in place around the fingers. As the collar 13 is formed of a rigid plastic material, this prevents further flexing of the clamping fingers, effectively locking them in place behind the boot. This final assembly state is illustrated in Figure 6, with further detail being shown in Figure 7.
The assembled device of Figure 6 is provided to end users, typically a patient or healthcare professional. Immediately prior to injecting, the user grasps the device casing 7 and the boot remover 6, and pulls the latter from the former.
This is illustrated in Figure 8. As the clamping fingers 11 are locked in behind the boot 3, this action also causes the boot 3 to be pulled from the syringe body 2 with the boot remover, exposing the needle within the casing.
Figure 9 illustrates an alternative boot remover 100 for use with a prefilled syringe 1 of the type previously described. The injection device 5 is not shown in the Figure. The boot remover 100 comprises an inner boot engagement component 101 and an outer casing 102 as illustrated in Figure 10. The boot remover 100 is assembled by sliding the boot engagement component 101 into the outer casing 102 as illustrated in Figure 11. A series of ridges 103 provided around one end of the component 101 are received by complimentary slots 104 provided around the inside of the outer casing 102, guiding the boot engagement component 101 into the outer casing 102 and preventing relative rotation.
Figure 12 shows a cross-section through the boot remover of Figures 9 to 11, with the boot engagement component 101 fully assembled into the outer casing 102. In this state, a first set of flexible fingers 105 formed on the boot engagement component 101 are snapped into engagement with a corresponding set of slots 106 formed along the inner surface of the outer casing 102. With reference to the Figure, the leftmost ends of the slots 106 define the extent to which the boot engagement component 102 can move to the left relative to the outer casing 102. The rightmost extent of movement of the boot engagement component is defined by the engagement of a second set of flexible fingers 107 (provided on that component) with a corresponding set of cam surfaces 108 formed on the inner surface of the outer casing.
Referring now to Figure 13, this illustrates in cross-section a boot 3 on the end of a syringe, on the point of insertion into the boot remover 100. Again, for the sake of simplicity, the injection device casing that surrounds the boot is not shown in the Figure. It is assumed however that the outer casing 102 of the boot remover has an external diameter that allows the casing to enter the injection end of the device. As the boot remover 100 is pressed against the boot 3, hooked ends 109 of the second set of flexible fingers 107 come into contact with the end of the boot. The boot 3 pushes the boot engagement component 101 into the interior of the outer casing 102 until the leftmost limit of its movement is reached. At this stage, and as illustrated in Figure 14, continued pressing of the boot remover 100 into the injection device casing causes the second set of flexible fingers 107 to flex outwards, riding over and along the surface of the boot. Finally, the hooked ends 109 reach a point where they snap into the gap 4 between the boot and the syringe body. This is illustrated in Figure 15.
At the stage shown in Figure 15, the ends of the fingers 107 are not engaged with the cam surfaces 108. Figure 16 shows the state of the boot remover 100 as the user now begins to pull the remover out of the casing. The fingers 107 are locked in place behind the boot, so that the boot engagement component stays fixed relative to the boot, whilst the outer casing slides over the boot engagement component. This brings the ramps 110, formed on the exterior surfaces of the fingers 107, into contact with respective cam surfaces 107, driving the fingers into tighter engagement behind the boot. Ultimately, the cooperating ramps and cam surfaces prevent further movement of the inner component 102 relative to the boot engagement component 101. At this stage, the boot remover begins to pull the boot away from the syringe and the needle, as is shown in Figure 16.
It will be appreciated by the person of skill in the art that various modifications may be made to the above described embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
