Abstract
An inhaler for delivery of medicament from a canister which is compressible to deliver a dose of medicament, the inhaler comprises: a housing for holding a canister; a canister engagement member engageable with a canister held in the housing to compress the canister; a loading mechanism for loading a resilient loading element which is arranged, when loaded, to bias the canister engagement member to compress the canister; a triggering mechanism arranged to hold the canister engagement member against compression of the canister and triggerable to release the canister engagement member, and a linkage between the resilient loading element and the canister engagement member, wherein the linkage between the resilient loading element and the canister engagement member is arranged to reduce the force applied by the canister engagement member to the triggering mechanism when held by the triggering mechanism.
