Abstract
An assembly for a drug delivery device is provided, the assembly comprising: a housing for receiving a reservoir, and a cap releasable with respect to the housing, wherein the assembly has a capped state and an uncapped state, wherein the cap comprises a member to be gripped by a user for releasing the cap from the housing, wherein the member is rotatable to release the cap from the housing, wherein the assembly comprises an interface to convert rotational movement of the member into axial movement of the member, the interface comprising a track configured to guide movement of the member, wherein the track has a first region and a second region, wherein, when the first region guides the movement, the member is displaced from the housing by a first distance, and when the second region guides the movement, the member is displaced from the housing by a second distance.
