  • Patent number: 8857668
    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.

  • Patent number: 8800819
    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.

  • Patent number: 8770448
    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.

  • Patent number: 8746238
    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.
