A nebulizer for a fluid, includes a container containing the fluid; a housing part which can be detached from the nebulizer for replacing the container; an inner part; a retaining element connected with and not detachable from the inner part, where the housing part is releasable fixed to the inner part by the retaining element; a delivery mechanism for dispensing the fluid; a manually depressible actuator member, which is a separate part from the retaining element and acts on the retaining element, and wherein the actuator member is depressed to elastically deform or flex the retaining element to allow detachment of the housing part.

Nebulizer

A nebulizer is proposed which comprises a blocking device for blocking opening of the nebulizer in a tensioned state. The nebulizer comprises preferably an indicator device for indicating a tensioned state of the nebulizer. The nebulizer comprises further a depressible actuator member at a housing part which is detachable from the nebulizer.

A nebulizer is proposed which receives a container with a fluid and an indicator device. The indicator device stops further use of the container in a locked state when a predetermined number of uses has been reached or exceeded. In the locked state, a locking device locks the nebulizer against rotation in a partially tensioned state and, thus, against further use. After replacement of the container including the indicator device, the nebulizer can be used again.

A nebulizer and a housing part removably connected thereto, each having one or more coding elements. At least one of the coding elements is configured to be mounted in different defined positions on the nebulizer or the housing part and is removably connected thereto so that in each position a different coding is obtained in which the one or more coding elements match one another.

Nebuliser with coding means

A nebulizer and a container with a fluid for such a nebulizer are described, the container comprising an indicator device fixedly mounted on the bottom of the container, the indicator device stopping further use of the container in a locked state when a predetermined number of uses has been reached or exceeded, and when the nebulizer is partially opened, it is blocked against further use, and after replacement of the container including the indicator device, the nebulizer can be used again.

A nebulizer and a housing part comprising a blocking device as well as use of a blocking device are proposed. The blocking device blocks a rotatable element of a counter device in a defined rotational position until the nebulizer is closed.

Disclosed is a nebulizer having attached housing, which is attached in a way that permits removal, which housing holds containers of liquid medication for dispensing via nebulization, which nebulizer is constructed to allow containers holding the medication to be used and held within the housing provided that such containers match or conform to the certain mechanical requirements of the nebulizer and housing.
