A device for inhaling powder-type substances includes a mouthpiece, an insertion unit having a retaining part with an insertion means for opening a sub-region in a substance container containing the substance, and a discharge channel for the substance leading to the mouthpiece. In order to advantageously further improve a device of this type, it is proposed that two insertion units are provided, having preferably two retaining parts, which are separate from one another, which each have an insertion means, and with which the substance container can be opened in intersecting or opposing insertion directions. The device for inhaling powder-type substances also includes a plurality of substance containers that can be moved successively into an emptying position. The number of emptied or non-emptied substance containers can be displayed via a counter.

Inhaler

A hand-held device for metered dispensing of sprayable substances, in particular inhaler medicaments, includes a housing and a cartridge which can be displaced into a dispensing position by a pressure application relative to the housing, wherein the housing has a mouthpiece, wherein the cartridge can be displaced initially into a ready-to-dispense position and a dispensing spray process can be triggered by sucking in, wherein the displacement of the cartridge can be executed by tensioning a spring supported on the housing and acting on the cartridge. The spring is displaced into the position to perform a spraying process, but is hindered by a counterforce that can be deactivated by application of a negative pressure through the mouthpiece of the hand-held device A valve flap is moved by the negative pressure and cancels a mechanical block of the movement of the cartridge.

Hand-held device for dispensing sprayable substances in a portioned manner

A reservoir for a nebulizer includes: a tank or bag containing multiple doses of a fluid to be nebulized, and an indicator device for counting or indicating a number of uses performed or still possible with the reservoir, where at least one of: the reservoir includes a connector for fluidically connecting the tank or bag with the nebulizer, the indicator device is actuated by moving the connector relative to the tank or bag, and the reservoir includes or forms an eccentrical linear guidance for a driving part for driving the indicator device.

Nebulizer and reservoir

A device for inhaling powdery substances contained in capsules has a housing, a capsule receiver, a closing cover, a mouth piece, and a closure cap. The closure cap is designed to cover simultaneously the mouthpiece, closing cover and capsule receiver, wherein the closure cap, mouthpiece and closing cover are hinged in a pivoting manner. Two pivot axes, which are different but run in the same direction, are formed, which, in respect of a side view in which geometric axes of the pivot axes are represented in the form of points, are arranged next to each other and on a same side of the capsule receiver. In a usage state of the device, the first pivot axis is arranged closer to the capsule receiver. The closing cover and the mouthpiece can be pivoted about the first pivot axis and only the closure cap can be pivoted about the second pivot axis.

A handheld device for dispensing a pharmaceutical substance has a housing in which a storage container with the pharmaceutical substance and a counter are arranged. The storage container dispenses the pharmaceutical substance by pressure actuation by a user after a specified displacement path has been traversed, and the counter carries out an action in order to rotate a counter wheel of the counter on the basis of the displacement path being traversed. The counter additionally has a drive part rotates the counter wheel, and the counter wheel is rotatably attached to a mounting part. The mounting part is formed independently of the housing, and the drive part is directly attached to the mounting part. The handheld device advantageously dispenses a pharmaceutical substance in that the action is first carried out on the counter wheel of the counter upon the pressure actuation, and the pharmaceutical substance is then dispensed.

A nebulizer for nebulizing a fluid and a reservoir with a fluid are proposed. The reservoir includes a collapsible bag with the fluid, where the bag extends in a circumferential direction within the housing part and wherein the reservoir is manually rotated for tensioning the nebulizer.

The invention relates to a handset () for delivering a pharmaceutical substance, with a housing () that exhibits a mouthpiece (), wherein the mouthpiece () can be sealed with a cap (), and the cap () is attached to the housing () by means of a spring (), and can be swiveled around a swivel axis (x) to release the mouthpiece (). In order to further improve a handset of the kind in question, in particular as relates to attaching the cap to the handset, it is proposed that the spring () have an angled progression in a top view, in which the swivel axis (x) is imaged as a line.

Handset for delivering a pharmaceutical substance

A hand operable inhalator for dispensing a powdery substance, in particular a pharmaceutical substance, with a supply chamber, a discharge channel and a dosing chamber, wherein the discharge channel protrudes into the supply chamber, and the dosing chamber and discharge channel can be moved relative to each other. In order to indicate an inhalator for dispensing a powdery substance that makes the dosing chamber advantageously fillable, the discharge channel can be rotated around a rotational axis, and that the dosing chamber can be filled while the discharge channel rotates. The inhalator can have a dosing chamber that can be moved from a closed into an open state and vice versa. The inhalator can have a discharge channel that incorporates a turbulence means, which has a helically running wall and is to carry a flow while discharging air provided with the substance.

Manually actuatable inhaler

A counter for a handheld device for dispensing a pharmaceutical substance, has a housing, at least one counter wheel which has readable characters, and a drive part which is designed to rotate the counter wheel, the counter wheel being rotatably attached to a mounting part. The mounting part of the counter is designed independently of the housing, and the drive part is directly attached to the mounting part. The counter can have at least one counter wheel which has readable characters and a drive part which is designed to rotate the counter wheel. The counter wheel has readable characters and is designed in a cylindrical manner and with a central axis, and has a drive part which is designed to rotate the counter wheel, the counter wheel being provided with an engagement toothing via which the drive part acts on the counter wheel so as to rotate same, the drive part having a rotational axis.

Handheld device with a counter and counter

A nebulizer as well as a container and an indicator device for such a nebulizer are proposed. The indicator device is fixedly mounted from the bottom of the container and comprises a piercing element for opening an aeration of the container. The indicator device and its piercing part are preferably actuated by axial movement of the indicator device and container within the nebulizer.

Container, indicator device with moveable piercing part, and nebulizer

A counter for a handheld device for dispensing a pharmaceutical substance includes at least one counter wheel having legible characters. The counter wheel is rotatable about a rotational axis, and a drive part having a shaped engagement section rotates the counter wheel. An acting part, displaceable relative to the counter wheel in the direction of extension of the rotational axis against a spring force, is connected to and rotates together with the drive part. A base part which can form a part of the housing and can be inserted into the housing at least partly overlaps the substance container in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the substance container, and has a stationary rotational axis for the counter wheel, the drive part preferably being guided in the rotational axis. The drive part is located on the side of the substance container with respect to the counter wheel.
