Device for inhaling powder-type substances, substance container for a device of this type and method for filling a device of this type

A device (1) for inhaling powder-type substances (48, 48′), comprising:

• a guide mechanism, and
• a plurality of substance containers (5) that are configured to be moved successively into an emptying position, wherein the plurality of substance containers (5), which are not connected to one another, are accommodated for direct contact with one another in the guide mechanism (4) attached to the device, and can be moved by contact pressure propagating among the plurality of substance containers (5), wherein the guide mechanism (4) further has a single drive wheel (57) comprising accommodating moldings (58) separated by drive teeth (102), and wherein one substance container of the plurality of substance containers (5) in an emptying position is located in one of the accommodating moldings (58) of the drive wheel (57),
• wherein the guide mechanism (4) has a guideway (38), which communicates with a closable insertion opening (53) for the plurality of substances containers (5) in a housing (52), and
• further comprising a closure part configured for closing the insertion opening (53), wherein the closure part can only be removed in a destructive manner.
