A fluid dispenser device comprising: a body (10); a plurality of individual reservoirs (21) each containing a dose of fluid, such as powder, said reservoirs being disposed one behind another on an elongate flexible strip (20); reservoir-opening means (80) comprising a perforator element that is stationary relative to the body; first strip displacement means (30) for causing the elongate flexible strip (20) to advance before and/or after each actuation of the device; and second reservoir-displacement means (50) for displacing a full reservoir (21) against said perforator element for opening said reservoir, said first displacement means including an indexer wheel (30) that is rotatably mounted on said second displacement means (50) and provided with at least one cavity (31) that is adapted to receive a respective reservoir, turning said indexer wheel (30) and thus causing said elongate flexible strip (20) to advance, said first displacement means include an actuator member (3000) that is disposed in coaxial manner radially inside said indexer wheel (30), said actuator member (3000) being rotatable relative to said indexer wheel.
摘要:
A dispenser (1) comprises a can (2) and body (3). The can is an aluminum extrusion with a valve crimped into its mouth, the valve having an outlet spout (4). The crimped region (5) of the can surrounding the valve has a lesser diameter than the can has through the main part (6) of its length. The body has a mouthpiece (11) with a pivotal cover (12) drivingly connected to a cam (13). This bears on the underside of junction member (14), into a socket (15) of which the spout 4 fits. A breath actuated dose release mechanism (16) is provided. The body has a tubular section (7) for receiving the necked down region (5) of the can. A printed paper label (21) is wrapped around the joint between the body and the can to unite the can to the body in position such that when the cover is opened, a dose is dispensed by the cam (13) lifting the junction member and depressing the spout.

A fluid dispenser device comprising: a body (10) provided with a dispenser orifice (15); dispenser means (50, 80) for dispensing a dose of fluid on each actuation; and a dose counter for indicating the number of doses that have been dispensed or that remain to be dispensed, said counter comprising: a first rotary counter element (127) provided with a first surface including first indicator means (125), such as digits, and provided with at least one first set of teeth (128, 129); a second rotary counter element (227) provided with a second surface including second indicator means (225), such as digits, and provided with at least one second set of teeth (228, 229); and a movable actuator element (160) that is displaceable between a first position and a second position, said actuator element including a projection (168) that is adapted to co-operate with said first set of teeth (128) of said first counter element (127), so as to cause said first counter element (127) to turn while said actuator element (160) is being displaced from its first position to its second position; said first counter element (127) including at least one deformable finger (1270) that is displaceable between a non-deformed position and a deformed position, and that is adapted to co-operate, in its deformed position, with said second set of teeth (229) of said second counter element (227), so as to cause said second counter element (227) to turn; said body including a cam (325) that is adapted to deform said at least one deformable finger (1270) towards its deformed position.
摘要:
A fluid dispenser device including at least one individual reservoir (21) containing a single dose of fluid, opening means (40) being provided for opening an individual reservoir (21) each time the device is actuated, said opening means (40) comprising perforator and/or cutter means (41) and movable support means (50), said movable support means (50) being adapted to displace an individual reservoir (21) against said perforator and/or cutter means (41) on each actuation.
摘要:
A dry powder inhaler includes a dose container assembly having a dose container disk with opposing upper and lower surfaces, a first row of circumferentially spaced apart dose containers at a first radius and a second row of circumferentially spaced apart dose containers at a second radius. The dose containers have dry powder therein and are sealed via a first flexible sealant over apertures in the upper surface and a second flexible sealant over apertures in the lower surface. A piercing mechanism includes two reciprocating piercers that serially alternate between the two rows of dose containers in the dose container disk. A rotatable ramp disk includes first and second sets of circumferentially spaced-apart ramp elements in staggered, concentric relationship that are configured to move the first and second piercing members between retracted and extended positions.

摘要:
There is provided a dose counter for use with a medicament dispenser. The dose counter comprises a first count wheel arranged to rotate about a first axis of rotation, the first count wheel including a set of primary drive teeth arranged annularly thereon for drivable rotation of the first count wheel about the first axis of rotation; a second count wheel arranged to rotate about the first axis of rotation, the second count wheel including a set of secondary drive teeth arranged annularly thereon; and a kick wheel arranged to rotate about a second axis of rotation offset from the first axis of rotation, the kick wheel including a set of kick teeth arranged annularly thereon and in meshed relationship with the set of secondary drive teeth of the second count wheel such that rotary motion of the kick wheel results in rotary motion of the second count wheel. The first count wheel further includes a fixed index tooth arranged for intermittent meshing with the kick teeth of the kick wheel such that rotary motion of the kick wheel results from rotary motion of the first count wheel only when the intermittent meshing occurs.
摘要:
A metered dosage inhaler device having a first member for receiving and dispensing inhalation medication which is hollow, and has an aerosol medication container insertion end and having a nozzle end for spraying medication into a mouth of a user, wherein the nozzle end has a defined length and has an orifice with a defined cross-sectional area outlet surfaces, inner surfaces and a defined outer perimeter at its termination. There is a second member, the second member which is a spacer fitted on the nozzle and adapted to move outwardly and inwardly relatively to the nozzle, the spacer being hollow and being located about either outer surfaces or within the inner surfaces of the nozzle, the spacer having a total length about equal to or less than the nozzle so as to preserve significant compactness when the spacer is moved inwardly relative to the nozzle. The spacer includes a plurality of movable segments such as telescopic ring segments. The first member has a tube with a reciprocal sleeve for holding a medication container and cooperates to permit full insertion of the segments into the first member.
