Publication number: 20160288143Abstract: A spray apparatus includes an outlet connected to a cyclone chamber with at least one gas inlet to the chamber connected to a pressurized source of gas, and at least one liquid inlet to the chamber for connection to a liquid source. The cyclone chamber has a cross section that decreases in a direction away from the outlet and a closed base such that in use at least one of the liquid and gas entering the chamber forms a reverse flow cyclone, in which the liquid or gas travels in a first direction away from the inlet to the closed base and thereafter reverses direction and travels towards the outlet.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2014Publication date: October 6, 2016Applicant: CAMBRIDGE CONSULTANTS LIMITEDInventors: Julia E.

Patent number: 7854226Abstract: A powder inhaler includes a container for storing powdered medicament. A metering member has a dosing recess and is moveable between a filling position in which the dosing recess is in alignment with an opening of the container, and an inhalation position in which it is in alignment with an inhalation channel. A mouthpiece is in communication with the inhalation channel for enabling inhalation of the dose of powdered medicament when in the inhalation position. A protective member provided between the metering member and the inhalation channel is moveable between a closed position in which the protective member covers the dosing recess, thereby preventing powdered medicament contained in the dosing recess from entering the inhalation channel, and an open position in which the protective member does not cover the dosing recess, thereby exposing the dosing recess to the inhalation channel for enabling inhalation of the dose of the powdered medicament.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2006Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A.Inventors: John Pinon, Sameer Shirgaonkar, Christopher James Smith, Simon Burge, Max William Middleton, David Ahern, Matthew Neil Sarkar, Ben Arlett, Emma Lesley Lye, Simon Smith

Publication number: 20060231093Abstract: A pressurised medicament canister has a valve which dispenses a metered dose upon being released from a depressed condition. An inhaler device adapted for use with the canister has a breath-actuated latch mechanism arranged in use to latch the canister in a depressed condition and further to release the latch in response to inhalation through the inhaler by a user. Additionally, a dose counter for counting the number of doses dispensed from the canister comprising a counter member having a helical toothed track which is incrementally advanced each time a dose is dispensed from the canister. Also a valve for the canister comprising a sliding seal delimiting the metering chamber and slidable relative to a nozzle member, said sliding seal being biased in use to reduce the volume of the metering chamber substantially to zero once the metering chamber has been vented to the atmosphere.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2003Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: Simon Burge, Warren Isaacs, Simon Smith, Jonathan Tuckwell
