Claims22
An enclosed aerosol source combination comprising an assembled combination of the aerosol source, a body and an enclosure:
- the aerosol source having:
- a canister,
- a spout at one end of the canister, the spout being movable inwards of the canister for substance release,
- a spring urging the spout outwards of the canister with a force required to be overcome for release movement inwards, and
- a valve for releasing a substance from the canister on longitudinal movement of the spout against the spring;
- the body having:
- a mouthpiece for inhalation/insufflation of the substance;
- a moveable junction member for receiving the spout;
- and
- a dispense mechanism able to be cocked to move the junction member and receive a substance dose and to be triggered by inhalation releasing the substance dose;
- the enclosure having:
- at least one dispense-mechanism positioning feature at a determined position;
- and
- a location member for the canister, the location member configured to be adjusted to provide a determined dose of the spout with respect to the at least one dispense-mechanism positioning feature after the aerosol canister has been assembled into the enclosure,
- an arrangement of the assembled combination being such that on movement of the spout through determined stroke with respect to the dispense-mechanism, positioning feature and against the spring substance release is predictable.
