A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium has a coil and an armature moveable toward a forward position, in response to the electromagnetic field produced by activation of the coil. A piston is moveable axially within a piston channel to a forward position, in response to movement of the arm
A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium has a coil and an armature moveable toward a forward position, in response to the electromagnetic field produced by activation of the coil. A piston is moveable axially within a piston channel to a forward position, in response to movement of the armature to its forward position. The armature and piston are moved toward a retracted position, when the coil is not energized. In the retracted position of the piston, a piston chamber is formed between the piston and a valve member and is filled with infusion medium. As the piston is moved to its forward position, the piston chamber volume is reduced and pressure within the piston chamber increases to a point where the pressure moves the valve member into an open position through an outlet.

What is claimed is: 1. A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium comprising: an inlet for receiving infusion medium; an outlet for discharging infusion medium; a piston channel through which infusion medium is communicated between the inlet and the outlet; a piston located within the piston
What is claimed is: 1. A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium comprising: an inlet for receiving infusion medium; an outlet for discharging infusion medium; a piston channel through which infusion medium is communicated between the inlet and the outlet; a piston located within the piston channel to define a fluid flow path between the inlet and outlet, the piston being moveable axially within the piston channel between a retracted position and a forward position to drive infusion medium toward the outlet, the piston comprising a magnetically permeable material, an armature located on one side of the piston channel and moveable between a retracted position and a forward position; a coil located in a position relative to the armature to generate an electromagnetic field upon energization sufficient to cause the armature and piston to move from their retracted positions to their forward positions; and a magnet arranged relative to at least one of the armature and the piston to impart a force on the piston sufficient to move the piston from the forward position to the retracted position upon deenergization of the coil; wherein the armature is arranged between the magnet and the piston and includes a first section free of magnetically permeable material through which magnetic flux from the magnet passes to the piston in a path that is free of magnetically permeable material from the magnet to the piston. 2. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein the piston and armature are connected together and move between retracted and forward positions as a unitary structure. 3. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein the piston and armature are separate elements capable of movement independent from each other. 4. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 3, wherein the fluid flow path in the piston channel comprises a clearance between the piston and the piston channel. 5. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 3, wherein the fluid flow path in the piston channel comprises an internal channel provided through the piston, in the axial direction of the piston. 6. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 3, wherein the coil surrounds the piston channel and piston. 7. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, further comprising a housing in which the piston channel is provided and a cover member located over an open interior of the housing, the cover member supporting the magnet in sufficiently close proximity to the armature to allow magnetic communication between the magnet and the armature. 8. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, further comprising a spring arranged for urging the armature and piston toward the retracted position in conjunction with the force imparted by the magnet. 9. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein the first section of the armature is formed of a non-magnetic material to allow magnetic flux from the magnet to effect the piston, through the first section of the armature. 10. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein the first section of the armature is a central section of the armature. 11. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein the armature includes a further portion surrounding the first section, the further portion of the armature comprising a magnetically permeable material. 12. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, wherein the first section of the armature includes an open section for passing magnetic flux of the magnet to the piston, the magnetic flux passing through the open section of the armature. 13. A drive mechanism as recited in claim 12, wherein the open section of the armature is a central section of the armature. 14.

A drive mechanism as recited in claim 1, further comprising: a housing in which the piston channel is provided and a cover member located over an open interior of the housing, the cover member supporting the magnet; wherein the cover member includes an extension portion arranged to extend through the open section of the armature and contact the piston, upon the armature and piston being in the retracted position. 17. A drive mechanism for delivery of infusion medium comprising: an inlet for receiving infusion medium; an outlet for discharging infusion medium; a piston channel through which infusion medium is communicated between the inlet and the outlet; a piston located within the piston channel to define a fluid flow path between the inlet and outlet, the piston being moveable axially within the piston channel between a retracted position and a forward position to drive infusion medium toward the outlet, an armature located on one side of the piston channel and moveable between a retracted position and a forward position; a coil located in a position relative to the armature to generate an electromagnetic field upon energization sufficient to cause the armature and piston to move from their retracted positions to their forward positions; and a magnet arranged relative to at least one of the armature and the piston to impart a force on at least one of the armature and the piston sufficient to move at least one of the armature and the piston from the forward position to the retracted position upon deenergization of the coil; wherein the armature is arranged between the magnet and the piston and includes a first section formed of a non-magnetic material to allow magnetic flux from the magnet to effect the piston, through the first section of the armature, and the first section of the armature comprises at least one of stainless steel, plastic, ceramic and glass. 18. A method for delivery of infusion medium comprising: providing a housing and cover structure having an inlet for receiving infusion medium, an outlet for discharging infusion medium and a piston channel through which infusion medium is communicated between the inlet and the outlet; energizing a coil located in a position relative to an armature and a piston to generate an electromagnetic field in the area of the armature and piston upon energization moving the piston axially within the piston channel between a retracted position and a forward position to drive infusion medium in the piston channel toward the outlet in response to the generation of an electromagnetic field by energization of the coil, moving an armature between a retracted position and a forward position in response to the generation of an electromagnetic field by energization of the coil; and moving the piston from the forward position to the retracted position using, at least in part, the force imparted on the piston by a magnet, upon de-energization of the coil; wherein the piston comprises a magnetically permeable material and the armature includes a first section that is free of magnetically permeable material and wherein the force imparted by the magnet on the piston is provided by passing magnetic flux from the magnet through the first section of the armature and to the piston in a path that is free of magnetically permeable material from the magnet to the piston. 19.
