Abstract
A compact inhaler device is disclosed that is a miniature, more ergonomic design for medical inhalers. The design is more convenient and allows an owner to place the inhaler in their pocket, bag, or purse without taking up much space. The compact inhaler device comprises a body component that is configured in a rectangular shape that resembles a vape. Thus, the body component is inline versus an L-shaped inhaler. The device comprises a refillable medication cartridge component that abuts a piston to convert the liquid inside the cartridge to a vaporized state. Accordingly, the device works and looks like a vape but is for medical purposes only.
Claims20
A compact inhaler device comprising:
- a body component;
- and
- a medication cartridge component;
- wherein the medication cartridge component is inserted into the body component;
- wherein the medication cartridge component abuts a piston assembly within the body component to convert liquid medication from inside the medication cartridge component to be expelled in a vaporized state;
- and
- further wherein inhaling on the body component releases medicine from the medication cartridge component into a user's mouth.
A compact inhaler device comprising:
- a body component comprising an open end and a mouthpiece at an opposing end;
- and
- a medication cartridge component comprising a rescue medicament for a respiratory ailment;
- wherein the medication cartridge component is inserted into the open end of the body component;
- wherein the medication cartridge component is held in place in the open end via friction fit;
- wherein the body component comprises an activation button aperture with an activation button;
- wherein the activation button is moveable in the button aperture and pressing the activation button pushes an inserted medication cartridge component out of the body component when empty;
- wherein the body component comprises a cover that fits over the mouthpiece, protecting the mouthpiece from dirt, debris and germs when not in use;
- wherein the medication cartridge component comprises a propellant gas and has a valve at one end that abuts a piston assembly within the body component;
- wherein the piston assembly pushes against the valve to release the rescue medicant into the mouthpiece in a vaporized state;
- and
- further wherein inhaling on the body component releases vaporized rescue medicant from the medication cartridge component into a user's mouth.
A method of utilizing a more compact inhaler, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a compact inhaler device comprising a body component and medication cartridge component;
- inserting a medication cartridge component into the body component;
- utilizing a nozzle of the body component to inhale vaporized medicine from the medication cartridge component;
- removing and replacing the medication cartridge component, as needed;
- and
- disposing of the device and purchasing a new device, as needed.
