  • Publication number: 20060278225
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a manually actuated delivery device for the delivery of a dose of liquid comprising a housing (1) which includes an outlet through which liquid, in use, is delivered. An actuating member (2) is moveably disposed relative to the housing (1) between a first position and a second position, the user moving the actuating member (2) into the second position to actuate the delivery device. A liquid delivery assembly (3) is located at least partly within the housing (1) the liquid delivery assembly (3) comprising a liquid delivery unit (4) a carrier unit (5) for the liquid delivery unit (4) and a coupling member (6) which couples the movement of the actuating member (2) and the carrier unit (5). The movement of the carrier unit (5) activates a counting mechanism (7a, 7b) which indicates how many doses have been delivered.

  • Patent number: 6892728
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhalation device for use with an inhaler (5) comprising a dispersion chamber (18) for fluid communication with the inhaler (5) and a suction chamber (19) in fluid communication with the dispersion chamber (18). The suction chamber (19) is constructed to enable the internal volume of the suction chamber (19) to be increased during use thereby producing a negative pressure in the dispersion chamber (18). In this way, the substance to be inhaled can be drawn from the inhaler into the dispersion chamber (18) for subsequent inhalation.

  • Patent number: 6510847
    Abstract: A manually-actuated device for the deliver of a volume of liquid which includes an outlet through which liquid is in use delivered and a cover member which is movably disposed relative to the housing between a first position in which the cover member at least partly covers the outlet and a second position in which the cover member acts as a lever which in use is acted upon by a user to actuate the delivery device.
