Medicament container holder

A medicament container holder comprising:

• a body designed to accommodate at least a part of a medicament container, which medicament container has a longitudinal axis and is arranged with a medicament delivery member surrounded by a needle shield;
• at least two support elements extending from a proximal end of the body, where the support elements are flexible and inclined inwardly relative to a plane incorporating the longitudinal axis and that bisects the body longitudinally;
• and
• a holding element arranged at a proximal end of the support elements and spaced a distance proximally from the proximal end of the body, where the holding element has a through hole with a diameter that is configured for holding a neck portion of the medicament container, the holding element being flexible in generally radial directions;
• and
• wherein the support elements,
• allow outwardly movement of the holding element from a first initial position during passing of the needle shield when the medicament container is placed in the medicament container holder;
• ensure inwardly movement of the holding element after passing of the needle shield, such that the holding element can move towards the first initial position to a second position;
• and
• promote inwardly action of the holding element to a third position during attachment of a needle shield remover to the needle shield, where the diameter of the through hole is less when the holding element is in the third position as compared to the second position;
• and
• are configured to flex inwardly relative to the plane to cause the holding element to move axially in a distal direction relative to the proximal end of the body such that the distance between the holding element and the proximal end of the body is decreased.
