Abstract
A medicament container carrier comprising a proximal section having a first diameter, a distal section having a second diameter less than the first diameter, and at least one resilient beam arranged in the proximal section and having a beam head protruding radially to form a third diameter. The at least one beam has a non-deflected position in which the third diameter is less than the first diameter and a deflected position in which the third diameter is substantially equal to the first diameter.
Claims19
A medicament container carrier comprising:
- a proximal section having a first diameter;
- a distal section having a second diameter less than the first diameter;
- and
- at least one resilient beam arranged in the proximal section of the medicament carrier, the at least one resilient beam extending distally from the proximal section of the medicament carrier and the at least one resilient beam having a beam head located at a distal end of the at least one resilient beam and protruding radially to form a third diameter, the beam head being arranged to abut a flange at a proximal end of a medicament container to inhibit translation of the medicament container in the proximal direction,
- wherein the at least one resilient beam has a non-deflected position in which the third diameter is less than the first diameter and greater than the second diameter and a deflected position in which the third diameter is substantially equal to the first diameter.

An autoinjector comprising:
- a medicament container carrier, the medicament container carrier comprising:
- a proximal section having a first diameter,
- a distal section having a second diameter less than the first diameter, and
- at least one resilient beam arranged in the proximal section of a medicament container carrier, the at least one resilient beam extending distally from the proximal section of the medicament carrier and the at least one resilient beam having a beam head located at a distal end of the at least one resilient beam and protruding radially to form a third diameter, the beam head being arranged to abut a flange on a proximal end of a medicament container to inhibit translation of the medicament container in the proximal direction,
- wherein the at least one resilient beam has a non-deflected position in which the third diameter is less than the first diameter and greater than the second diameter and a deflected position in which the third diameter is substantially equal to the first diameter;
- and
- wherein the autoinjector is configured to provide a force for administering an injection of a medicament from a medicament container held by the medicament container carrier.
