Abstract
A support assembly for a medicament container of a medicament delivery device is provided with a container support member having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to partially receive a medicament container, a deformable member arranged between a distal portion of the container support element and the proximal end of a flange of the medicament container, a rear support member arranged to be moved in contact with the distal end of the flange of the medicament container; where the deformable member is deformed by a clamping force generated by the container support member and the flange of the medicament container, such that the deformation of the deformable member is configured to compensate an engineering tolerance of the medicament delivery device.

A support assembly for a medicament container of a medicament delivery device, the support assembly comprising:
- a container support member having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to partially receive a medicament container;
- a deformable member arranged between a distal portion of the container support member and a proximal end of a flange of the medicament container;
- and
- a rear support member having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being configured to be partially inserted into a distal end of the medicament container and arranged to be moved in contact with a distal end of the flange of the medicament container,
- wherein the deformable member is deformed by a clamping force generated by the container support member and the rear support member, such that the deformation of the deformable member is configured to compensate for an engineering tolerance of the medicament delivery device.
An assembly for a medicament delivery device, where the assembly comprises:
- a medicament container comprising a flange;
- a container support member partially surrounding the medicament container and having a proximal end and a distal end;
- a deformable member positioned between the distal end of the container support member and a proximal facing end of the flange;
- and
- a distal extending tubular body comprising a rear support member that is positioned a predetermined axial distance from the distal end of the container support member,
- wherein the rear support member comprises a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being arranged to be partially inserted into a distal end of the medicament container and to be moved in contact with a distal facing end of the flange of the medicament container, and
- wherein the deformable member is deformed by a clamping force generated by the container support member and the rear support member such that the predetermined axial distance is reduced when the medicament delivery device is fully assembled.
An assembly for a medicament container of a medicament delivery device, the assembly comprising:
- a container support member having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to partially receive a medicament container;
- a deformable member arranged between a distal portion of the container support member and a proximal end of a flange of the medicament container;
- and
- a rear support member having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being configured to be partially inserted into a distal end of the medicament container such as to contact a distal end of the flange of the medicament container,
- wherein the container support member and the rear support member are configured to exert a clamping force on the flange of the medicament container and the deformable member, such that the deformable member is deformed by the clamping force.
