Devices, systems and methods for medicament delivery
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
a medicament carrier movably disposed within the housing, the medicament carrier configured to be coupled to a plurality of medicament containers, each medicament container having a plunger disposed therein;
an energy storage member disposed within the housing, the energy storage member configured to produce a force to move the medicament carrier within the housing and to move each plunger within each medicament container from the plurality of medicament containers when the energy storage member is actuated;
an actuation member configured to actuate the energy storage member when the actuation member is moved within the housing in a first direction; and
a biasing member in contact with the actuation member, the biasing member urging the actuation member toward the first direction.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a housing, a medicament container, an actuator, and a biasing member. The actuator is configured to move the medicament container within the housing when the actuator is moved from a first configuration to a second configuration. The actuator includes a gas container and a puncturer. When the actuator is in the first configuration, a portion of the puncturer is disposed apart from the gas container. When the actuator is in the second configuration, the portion of the puncturer is disposed within the gas container. The gas container has a longitudinal axis offset from a longitudinal axis of the medicament container. The biasing member is configured to bias the actuator toward the second configuration.

13. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a housing; a carrier movably disposed within the housing, a distal end portion of the carrier coupled to a needle; a plurality of medicament containers coupled to the carrier, each medicament container including a plunger; an energy storage member disposed within the housing, the energy storage member configured to produce a force to move the carrier within the housing from a first carrier position to a second carrier position, and to move each plunger within each medicament container from the plurality of medicament containers to convey a medicament within each medicament container through the needle, an end portion of the needle disposed within the housing when the carrier is in the first carrier position, the end portion of the needle disposed outside of a distal end portion of the housing when the carrier is in the second carrier position; and an actuation assembly configured to actuate the energy storage member when the actuation assembly is moved from a first configuration to a second configuration, the actuation assembly including a first actuation member movably disposed within the housing and a second actuation member coupled to the distal end portion of the housing, a portion of the second actuation member in contact with the first actuation member when the actuation assembly is in the second configuration. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
