Patent Images
1. A fluid delivery device comprising:
- a fluid reservoir configured to hold a fluid;
a fluid passage mechanism fluidly coupled to said fluid reservoir;
a fluid driving mechanism configured to force said fluid from said fluid reservoir and through said fluid passage mechanism;
control circuitry for controlling and monitoring operation of said fluid delivery device; and
a chassis comprising a framework of structural members mechanically interfacing said fluid reservoir, said fluid passage mechanism, said fluid driving mechanism, and said control circuitry.

Abstract
A chassis for a fluid delivery device provides mechanical and/or electrical connections between components of the fluid delivery device. The chassis includes a framework of structural members that mechanically interface components, such as a batteries, electrical contacts, fluid reservoirs, tubing, drive wheels, pivoting actuator components, sensors, control circuitry, alarms or indicators, sliding assemblies, springs, cams and latching members. The chassis may also include one or more electrically conductive paths along selected portions of the framework to provide electrical connections between the components.
