Abstract
The invention relates to dry powder inhalation apparatus usually operable by breath of a user which provides for controlled and smooth transfer of medicament during multiple actuations by a user. A mechanism of the apparatus for achieving this controlled and smooth transfer includes a device () normally held adjacent a reservoir for receiving medicament in a cup or receptacle () and which is generally movable transversely of a longitudinal axis of the apparatus to delivery channels of the apparatus. This bodily shifting of the device () is achieved by a yoke acting on an abutment () thereof. Spillage of medicament in the apparatus is avoided.
