Abstract
A nozzle, an inhaler with a nozzle and a method for producing a nozzle are proposed. The nozzle comprises two holes formed in a flat plate. Then, the plate is deformed such that the axes of the holes intersect so that jets of fluids generated by the holes impinge with each other.
Claims11
In a nozzle (12) for generating at least two impinging jets (20), the nozzle (12) comprising at least two holes (21) for dispensing a fluid, in particular an inhalation formulation (2), in order to generate the jets (20) of fluid, the improvement which is
- characterized in
- that the nozzle (12) comprises a plate (22) with the holes (21), the plate (22) being deformed or the holes (21) being inclined in the flat plate (22) such that the axes (23) of the holes (21) intersect each other at an outlet side (24) of the nozzle (12).
