Abstract: A discharging device for discharging liquids includes an outer housing encompassing an inner chamber, a liquid storage receptacle, a discharge orifice, a delivery device for delivering liquid from the storage receptacle to the discharge orifice, a cap that covers the discharge port orifice when present on the outer housing in a safety position, and a manual actuator adapted to actuate the delivery device and which is movable relative to the outer housing between a neutral relative position and an actuated relative position. The cap and the manual actuator cooperate so that displacement of the manual actuator is mechanically blocked when the cap is in its safety position. A locking element that is movable in relation to the outer housing is constrainedly coupled with the movement of the manual actuator and extends in the actuated position through a hole in the outer housing to a region that the cap blocks when mounted in its safety position.

Abstract: A discharging device for dispensing liquids having a housing, control electronics, a liquid storage receptacle, a discharge orifice, a conveying device actuable manually by a first actuator which transports the liquid to the discharge orifice from the storage receptacle and a blocking device, which in a blocked state blocks the actuation of the conveying device and in a released state allows actuation of the conveying device. The blocking device includes an interlock device movable relative to the housing between first and second positions and a movement of the interlock device from the first to the second position causes the blocking device to assume the released state. The interlock device is biased by a spring device in the direction of the second position and a first retaining device is provided which retains the interlock device in the first position and which is releasable by a signal from the control electronics.

Abstract: Drop dispenser for releasing a pharmaceutical liquid in drop form, with a housing, a liquid storage and a discharge opening, which penetrates a wall of the housing and to which an outlet valve is assigned, for extracting the liquid. The discharge opening is surrounded by a drop-formation area on the outside of the housing, wherein this drop-formation area, at least in an outer region with respect to an alignment of the drop dispenser with the discharge opening pointing vertically downwards, has a shape tapering downwards and towards the discharge opening. The drop dispenser allows the release of drops with a constant size and shortens drying time.
Abstract: An inhaler for the oral administration of a pharmaceutical medium, having a housing with a mouthpiece, a container unit accommodated in an inhalation region of the housing and including a medium container and an outlet connector having an outlet orifice, which outlet connector is capable of being moved relative to the medium container for the purpose of triggering a discharging operation, and a discharge sensor for the detection of a discharging operation. The housing has a main portion and a detecting wall portion capable of movement relative to the main portion and which is configured and/or disposed for displacement relative to the main portion during a discharging operation, and the discharge sensor detects the displacement of the detecting wall portion in relation to the main portion of the housing.
Abstract: A dosing device having a pumping device delivering at least one medium into a pumping channel running along a pumping axis, as well as an applicator having at least one application opening is known. According to the invention, the applicator has at least one flow channel linking the pumping channel with the application opening and which is oriented transversely to the pumping axis, while the application opening is positioned laterally on the applicator. Use for pharmaceutical applications.
Abstract: Discharge device for nasal application of medicaments. The invention relates to a discharge device (10) for nasal application of medicaments, with a main body (A) having a contact surface (10b) which, during use, is vertically oriented and is directed toward the face of the user, and with a nosepiece (70) which is arranged in a fixed position with respect to the main body (A) and is designed to be inserted into a nostril of the user, which nosepiece (70) is provided on an upper edge area of the contact surface (10b), protrudes from the contact surface (10b) and has a discharge opening (72). Use as a discharge device that counteracts incorrect use.
Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing liquid media having a housing, an outlet opening for the medium, a medium reservoir for storage of the medium and a conveying device for transporting the medium from the medium reservoir to the outlet opening, wherein a flow brake is provided in a medium duct between the conveying device and the outlet opening. The flow brake has a first flow brake component which can be arranged and fixed relative to the housing or to a second flow brake component during assembly in several differing relative positions, wherein differing flow resistances of the flow brake are achieved depending on the selected relative positions.
Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device for a liquid medium, having a medium reservoir for accommodating the medium, having a dispensing opening for dispensing the medium from the medium reservoir, and having a pressure-equalizing channel which opens out into the medium reservoir and has a microbiologically active filter arrangement inserted therein. According to the invention, the filter arrangement has a liquid filter oriented in the direction of the medium reservoir and a bacteria filter oriented away from the medium reservoir.
