Evaluation unit for inhalers

Dispenser for the discharge of pharmaceutical media having a liquid storage, a base body, an actuating handle that is manually displaced with respect to the base body for causing a discharge process of media from the liquid storage into an environment, and an electronic detection system for detecting discharge processes. A sensor is provided, which, subject to the displacement of a reference component mechanically coupled to the actuating handle such that during a discharge process the reference component is displaced with respect to the base body, generates an output signal. The sensor is configured for generating output signals of two distinguishable types as a function of the extent of the displacement, and is provided with an electronic calibration memory in which calibration data regarding discharge behavior of the dispenser are stored.

Dispenser having a system for detecting discharge processes

A portable medium dispenser for discharging liquid, pasty or powdery media, having a housing with a discharge opening, a medium reservoir for accommodating the medium before discharge, and an actuating handle, by which a feeding process can be effected during which medium is fed from the medium reservoir to the discharge opening. The dispenser includes a detecting device for detecting a shaking movement, the detecting device including an optical or acoustic output device and being designed to transfer the output device from a first state into a second state in response to a manual shaking of the dispenser.

Medium dispenser

A discharging device for dispensing liquids having a housing, control electronics, a liquid storage receptacle, a discharge orifice, a conveying device actuable manually by a first actuator which transports the liquid to the discharge orifice from the storage receptacle and a blocking device, which in a blocked state blocks the actuation of the conveying device and in a released state allows actuation of the conveying device. The blocking device includes an interlock device movable relative to the housing between first and second positions and a movement of the interlock device from the first to the second position causes the blocking device to assume the released state. The interlock device is biased by a spring device in the direction of the second position and a first retaining device is provided which retains the interlock device in the first position and which is releasable by a signal from the control electronics.

Discharging device for dispensing liquids

A microdosing device with a dosing chamber for the at least temporary reception of a liquid quantity, and with which is associated at least one discharge opening is provided. A vibrating unit in operative connection with at least one boundary surface of the dosing chamber is provided in order to vibrate the same for a discharge process, and with a delivery function unit connected to the vibrating unit for activating the latter during a delivery time period. A drying function unit is additionally provided and can be activated in time-separated manner with respect to the delivery function unit in order to free the dosing chamber from liquid residues.

Microdosing device

A metering device for dispensing a medium to an environment is provided. The metering device includes a housing, a shallow metering chamber within the housing which is of planar design and is essentially closed off from the environment by wall sections, a first media inlet which is connected to the metering chamber and can be connected to a media reservoir, and a vibration mechanism which is arranged in such a manner that vibrations generated by the vibration mechanism cause pulsing changes in volume of an internal volume of the metering chamber. A wall section which is designed as an outlet wall section has metering openings so that the metering chamber is connected to the environment. The vibration mechanism forms a vibration wall section so that the metering chamber is delimited.

Metering device

A dosing device with an electromechanical interface is provided. The dosing device includes delivery means, a medium reservoir and an applicator, on the one hand, and a control unit and electrical energy store, on the other hand, in separate structural units. Guide means are provided for fitting one of the structural units into the other structural unit. The guide means has an electromechanical interface for coupling and/or uncoupling relative to the control unit and/or energy store without using tools.

Dosing device

A microdosing device for a liquid medium includes a dosing compartment and an electrically or electronically activatable vibration unit which can cause at least one contact area of the dosing compartment to vibrate for the delivery of a volume of medium. A medium reservoir is connected to the dosing compartment by at least one flow channel. A manually operable conveyance device for conveying medium to the dosing compartment and/or for conveying medium back from the dosing compartment to the medium reservoir is assigned to the at least one flow channel.

Microdosing device for a liquid medium

A microdosing device includes a dosing chamber which at least temporarily receives a quantity of liquid, and to which at least one dispensing opening is assigned. A vibration unit is operatively connected to at least one boundary surface of the dosing chamber in order to cause this boundary surface to oscillate for the purpose of a dispensing operation. At least two admission channels spaced apart from one another are provided on the dosing chamber.
