  • Patent number: 6305371
    Abstract: An inhaler for administering medicament by inhalation and a method of manufacturing a housing of the same, the inhaler including a housing formed as a single-piece moulding having a first portion (18) which, in normal use, comes into contact with medicament and the mouth or nose of a user through which medicament is inhaled and a second portion (20) which defines at least part of the outer surface of the housing and, in normal use, does not come into contact with medicament or the mouth or nose of a user through which medicament is inhaled, wherein the material constitution of at least part of the second portion (20) defining at least part of the outer surface of the housing is different to the material constitution of the first portion (18).

  • Patent number: 6273084
    Abstract: An actuator for an inhaler for administering medicament by inhalation, comprising: a main body (1) defining a chamber (4) for receiving a canister (3) containing medicament, and including an outlet (11) through which medicament is in use delivered, the canister (3) being in use acted upon by the user in the delivery of medicament; a cover member (2) rotatable in relation to the main body (1) between a first, closed position in which the outlet (11) is covered and a second, open position in which the outlet (11) is exposed, the cover member (2) including a grip portion (33) which in use is acted upon by the user in the delivery of medicament and includes a surface (33a) having a component facing in the sense of rotation of the cover member (2) from the open to the closed position; characterized in that the main body (1) includes a projecting member (16) which includes a surface (16a) having a component facing in the sense of rotation of the cover member (2) from the closed to the open position behind which the

  • Patent number: 5361984
    Abstract: Device for selective climate control in vehicle cabins having a first air-vent duct (18) and a second air-vent duct (22) on respective sides or different zones in a vehicle cabin. The duct temperature on each side is measured and the duct adjustment is regulated by inner feedback control circuits. The cabin temperature (Tc1, Tc2 resp.) on both sides is measured, preferably at approximately head level, and fed to outer control circuits which determine the desired duct temperature as the deviation between the desired cabin temperatures (Tcs1, Tcs2 resp.) set by means of separate control knobs (38, 44) and the measured cabin temperatures (Tc1, Tc2 resp.). Desired duct temperature signals (Dts1, Dts2 resp.) are connected as input signals to respective inner control circuits.
