Abstract

A syringe carrier for use within an automatic injection device includes a substantially tubular body having a first end, a middle portion, and a second end, configured to contain a portion of a syringe and displace the syringe within a housing of the automatic injection device from a first position to a second position; a first pair of legs defining at least a portion of a front opening in the substantially tubular body proximal to the first end; a second pair of legs defining at least a portion of a rear opening in the substantially tubular body proximal to the first end; and a syringe carrier coupler having a first beam and a second beam extending from the middle portion partially beyond the first pair of legs at the first end of the substantially tubular body.
