`
`15.
`
`(New) An autoinjector comprising:
`
`a case including a rib;
`
`a needle shroud telescopically coupled to the case and movable between a first extended
`
`position, a retracted position and a locked second extended position;
`
`a carrier arranged in the case and adapted to hold a medicament container;
`
`a plunger slidably coupled to the carrier;
`
`a drive spring biasing the plunger relative to the carrier; the plunger movable from a first
`
`axial position to a second axial position relative to the case; and
`
`a collar slidably disposed in the case, the collar coupled to the needle shroud,
`
`wherein the needle shroud is configured to move to the first extended position when the
`
`needle shroud is moved to the retracted position to advance the plunger to the second axial
`
`position.
`
`16.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 15, wherein the carrier includes a
`
`compliant beam having a boss adapted to engage an opening in the plunger when the carrier is in
`
`a first axial position.
`

`
`18.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 15, wherein the collar includes a first
`
`boss adapted to engage a slot in the case and a second boss adapted to engage a plunger boss on
`
`the plunger.
`
`19.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 15, wherein the collar is in a first
`
`angular position relative to the case when the needle shroud is in the first extended position and
`
`the carrier is in a first axial position.
`
`20.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 19, wherein the collar is configured to
`
`rotate to a second angular position relative to the case when the needle shroud moves from the
`
`first extended position to the retracted position.
`
`21.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 15, wherein the collar is configured to
`
`translate proximally relative to the case when the needle shroud moves from the first extended
`
`position to the retracted position .
`
`22.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 21, wherein the collar is configured to
`
`translate distally relative to the case when the needle shroud is in the retracted position and the
`
`carrier moves from a first axial position to a second axial position.
`
`23.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 22, wherein the carrier includes a
`
`compliant beam having a boss adapted to engage an opening in the plunger when the carrier is in
`
`the first axial position, and wherein the boss is configured to disengage from the opening and
`
`abut the case when the carrier is in the second axial position.
`
`24.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 22, wherein the plunger is configured
`
`to translate axially relative to the carrier under a force of the drive spring advancing the plunger
`
`from the first axial position to the second axial position relative to the case.

`
`25.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 24, wherein the collar rotates to a third
`
`angular position relative to the case and translates with the needle shroud distally relative to the
`
`case when the carrier is moved to a third axial position.
`
`26.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 24, wherein the collar is configured to
`
`rotate to a fourth angular position relative to the case when the needle shroud is moved to the
`
`locked second extended position.
`
`27.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 26, wherein the collar includes a first
`
`boss adapted to engage a slot in the case and a second boss adapted to engage a plunger boss on
`
`the plunger, and wherein the first boss is adapted to abut a surface in a carrier slot of the carrier
`
`when the collar is in the fourth angular position and the needle shroud is in the locked second
`
`extended position.
`
`28.
`
`(New) The autoinjector according to claim 27, wherein engagement of the second
`
`boss and the plunger boss substantially fixes the collar in an axial position relative to the case.
`
`29.
