Accessory for an injection device including a grip for a needle cap

An accessory for an injection device having a needle cap, the accessory comprising:

• a body portion comprising a recess adapted to receive the injection device;
• a cover coupled to the body portion, the cover pivotally moveable between an open position in which the recess is exposed to receive the injection device, and a closed position in which the cover at least partially closes the recess to hold the injection device in the body portion;
• and
• a cap remover comprising a grip, the cap remover having an expanded configuration in which the needle cap can pass between the grip, and a constricted configuration in which the grip holds the needle cap to at least partially remove the needle cap from the injection device,
• wherein the cover and the cap remover are operably coupled to one another whereby when the cover is moved from the open position towards the closed position the cap remover moves from the expanded configuration to the constricted configuration, and
• wherein the grip comprises at least one moveable element configured to hold the needle cap when the cap remover is in the constricted configuration and being offset from the needle cap when the cap remover is in the expanded configuration, the at least one moveable element being configured to bend between the constricted configuration in which the grip holds the needle cap and the expanded configuration in which the needle cap can pass between the grip.

• wherein the cover and the cap remover are operably coupled to one another whereby, when the cover is moved from the open position towards the closed position, the cap remover moves from the expanded configuration to the constricted configuration and from the constricted configuration to the expanded configuration,
• wherein the grip comprises at least one moveable element configured to i) move towards the needle cap along an inward direction along a line of trajectory to the constricted configuration to hold the needle cap, and ii) reverse direction to move from the constricted configuration away from the needle cap back along the line of trajectory along an outward direction, opposite the inward direction, to the expanded configuration to release the needle cap.
