Abstract
A medicament delivery device is presented having an elongated body having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end that is provided with a distal surface. The distal surface is arranged and configured such that the elongated body of the medicament delivery device can steadily stand on the distal surface.
Claims13
A medicament delivery device, comprising:
- an elongated body formed by an outer housing shell and a knob, wherein the elongated body includes a longitudinal axis, a proximal end comprising a dose delivery site, and a distal end pointing away from the dose delivery site and provided with a distal surface, wherein the distal surface is formed by the knob, wherein the knob is fixed longitudinally relative to the outer housing shell, wherein the distal end and the distal surface are arranged and configured such that the elongated body of the medicament delivery device will stand steadily on the distal surface in a substantially vertical position, wherein a cross-sectional area at the proximal end perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is smaller than a cross-sectional area at the distal end perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and wherein the cross-sectional area at the distal end has a non-circular shape to thereby prevent a rolling of the medicament delivery device when being in a substantially horizontal position;
- and
- a needle configured to extend proximal to the proximal end of the elongated body.

- an elongated body formed by an outer housing shell and a knob, wherein the elongated body includes a longitudinal axis, a proximal end comprising a dose delivery site and comprising a proximal end cross-sectional area, a distal end pointing away from the dose delivery site and comprising a distal end cross-sectional area and providing a flat distal surface, wherein the flat distal surface is formed by the knob, wherein the knob is fixed longitudinally relative to the outer housing shell, wherein the distal end cross-sectional area is configured with a shape and size such that the elongated body will stand steadily on the flat distal surface in a substantially vertical position, wherein the proximal and distal end cross-sectional areas are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the proximal end cross-sectional area is smaller than the distal end cross-sectional area, and wherein the distal end cross-sectional area has a non-circular shape to thereby prevent a rolling of the medicament delivery device when being in a substantially horizontal position;
- and
- a needle configured to extend proximal to the proximal end of the elongated body.
