An assembly having: a container configured to contain a product, the container having an end having a dispensing end surface, a central axis which extends through the end, and a neck underneath the end, the neck having an outer surface which tapers outwardly away from the central axis as it extends in a direction towards the end; an accessory non-removably mounted on the end of the container, the accessory having a surface bearing against the dispensing end surface of the container, and a sleeve disposed about the neck so that an inner surface of the sleeve is in facing relation with the neck outer surface, and; an annular collar wedged between the sleeve inner surface and the neck outer surface and joined to the sleeve inner surface by a permanent joint.

Device housing for an aerosol container

An inhaler is provided with a restricting member to prevent unintentional actuation of the inhaler. Also provided is an inhaler with an extensible strap joining a dust cap to the housing of an inhaler, the strap being particularly suited for use with inhalers that comprise a restricting member. The inhaler is useful, for example, in the treatment of asthma.

Dispensing device

There is provided a dispenser suitable for dispensing medicament, particularly medicament for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders. The dispenser comprises a housing having a support; a container, locatable within said housing, having an outlet, wherein said container dispenses through said outlet in response to movement of the container relative to the housing; and an actuation indicator having an indexing mechanism actuatable by movement of the container relative to the housing. A couple mechanism is provided which couples the indexing mechanism to the container to compensate for any variation in pre-actuation positionings of the indexing mechanism and container.

Dispenser with doses' counter

An actuation indicator which includes a drums sub-assembly including a rotatable actuation indicator wheel, a rocking ratchet pawl for rotating the indicator wheel in a set direction and a rocking mechanism for the pawl driven by a slipping clutch arrangement, wherein the slipping clutch arrangement includes a slipping clutch spring engaged at one end to a pinion of a rack and pinion assembly and at a second end to the ratchet pawl is described.

Actuation indicator for a dispensing device

A medicament dispenser for use in the storage, presentation and/or dispensing of medicament comprising a body shaped for receipt of a medicament container. In association with the body, there is a first transceiver for transmitting and receiving data. A medicament container is receivable by the body. In association with the medicament container, there is a second transceiver for transmitting and receiving data. Data is transferable in two-way fashion from the first transceiver to the second transceiver. The medicament dispenser may be supplied in kit of parts form.

Medicament dispenser

A housing for a mechanical or electrical device for use with an aerosol canister for containing chemical comprising a sleeve for receipt of the aerosol canister; a collar affixable around the neck of the canister; and a joint between the sleeve and the collar to secure the housing to the canister.

An actuation indicator that includes a drum sub-assembly, which includes a rotatable actuation indicator wheel, a rocking, ratchet pawl for rotating the indicator wheel in a set direction and a rocking mechanism for the pawl driven by a slipping clutch arrangement, is described. The slipping clutch arrangement includes a slipping clutch spring engaged at one end to a pinion of a rack and pinion assembly and at a second end to the ratchet pawl.

There is provided a dispenser suitable for dispensing medicament, particularly medicament for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders. The dispenser comprises a housing ( ) having a support ( ); a container ( ), locatable within said housing ( ), having an outlet ( ), wherein said container ( ) dispenses through said outlet ( ) in response to movement of the container ( ), relative to the housing ( ); and an actuation indicator having an indexing mechanism ( ) actuatable by movement of the container ( ) relative to the housing ( ). A couple mechanism ( ) is provided which couples the indexing mechanism ( ) to the container ( ) to compensate for any variation in pre-actuation positionings of the indexing mechanism and container.

There is provided a dispenser suitable for dispensing medicament, particularly medicament for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders. The dispenser comprises a housing ( ) having a support ( ); a container ( ), locatable within said housing ( ), having an outlet member, wherein said container ( ) is movable relative to the housing ( ) to enable dispensing therefrom and said outlet member is connectable with said support ( ) to prevent relative movement there-between; and a dose indicator ( ), locatable within said housing ( ). The container ( ) and dose indicator ( ) are reversably removable from the housing ( ) as a single unit.

Dispenser with doses&prime; counter

There is provided a dispenser suitable for dispensing medicament, particularly medicament for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders. The dispenser comprises a housing ( ) having a support ( ), a container ( ), locatable within said housing ( ), having an outlet ( ), wherein said container ( ) dispenses through said outlet ( ) in response to movement of the container ( ) relative to the housing ( ) and an actuation indicator having an indexing mechanism ( ) actutable by movement of the container ( ) relative to the housing ( ). The indexing mechanism ( ) includes a coupling element to compensate for excess movement of the container ( ) relative to the housing ( ).

Dispenser with doses counter

Inhalation device comprising a body (,) defining a reservoir (,) for medicament in the form of a powder, an outlet (,) through which a user can inhale, and a dosing member (,) with at least one metering recess formed therein. The dosing member (,) is moveable between a first position in which the at least one metering recess communicates with the reservoir (,) to receive a dose of powder therefrom and a second position in which the at least one metering recess communicates with the outlet (,) to permit the user to inhale the dose. The at least one metering recess is formed in a face of the dosing member which is urged into contact against a similar mating face of the body at the lower end of the reservoir to form a dynamic seal. At least one of the faces (,) is made of a flexible material having a hardness of less than 80 Shore A.

Inhalation device

A method and apparatus are described for filling a blind cavity, for example a blister of a blister pack, with a quantity of powder. The cavity, with its open side downwards, is urged into a reservoir (30) of powder, and withdrawn from the reservoir with the quantity of powder therein. An elongate sheet (12) with a plurality of blisters disposed along the length thereof preferably passes around, and travels with, a wheel (38) partially immersed in the reservoir (30) of powder.
