Abstract
The invention relates to an inhaler for powdered, particularly medical substances, comprising a suction air duct that extends to a mouthpiece, a reservoir for the substance, and an at least linearly movable dosing chamber for separating a specific amount of the substance from the reservoir and placing the amount into a transfer position in order for the same to be transferred to the suction air flow. In order to further develop a generic inhaler in an advantageous manner, especially so as to charge the dosing chamber by separating a specific amount of substance from the reservoir, the dosing chamber can be rotationally moved in a superimposed fashion while being arranged eccentric to a corresponding axis of rotation.
Claims18
An inhaler for powdered, particularly medical substances, comprising:
- a suction air channel leading to a mouthpiece,
- a storage chamber for the substance;
- and
- a linearly moved dosing chamber for apportioning a specific amount of substance from said storage chamber and bringing said amount of substance into a transfer position, for transfer to said suction air stream,
- wherein said dosing chamber is rotationally moved in a superposed manner and is disposed eccentrically in relation to a corresponding axis of rotation (x).
An inhaler for powdery substances, comprising:
- a mouthpiece and a suction air channel leading to said mouthpiece;
- a storage chamber for storing therein the powdery substance;
- a movable dosing chamber for apportioning a specific amount of substance from said storage chamber and moving an amount of substance into a ready position for transferring the amount of substance to a suction air stream;
- a closure slide element disposed to close off said dosing chamber in the ready position, said closure slide element movable relative to a plunger slide into a dose-release position upon application of a suction underpressure;
- and
- a cup-shaped rotary part, said cup-shaped rotary part configured such that said plunger slide is connected to said rotary part in a rotationally fixed manner.
