Abstract: In an aerosol inhaler it is proposed that a thermal sensor 5 be arranged in the region of the atomization nozzle 4, which sensor, following the actuation of an actuating element and the triggering of an inhalation process, undergoes cooling as a result of the expansion of the propellant which then occurs. The actuation and cooling are electronically detected in an electronic module 3. Technical and therapeutic data can be derived from the signal, which data are communicated to the user via the display unit and/or alarm devices and influence the therapy in the desired manner.

Abstract: A device for assisting the manual actuation of aerosol dispensers, especially dispensers of the sort used to dispense metered doses of phamaceuticals. Dispensers to be used with the device of the invention are of known per se design and comprise a container, a nozzle and a valve with an axially movable valve stem which releases material from the container when the valve stem is urged toward the container. Such dispensers are normally actuated by exerting compressive force along the axis of the dispenser, by squeezing the nozzle and one end of the container between the thumb and forefinger. The device of the invention works with such dispensers so that they may instead be actuated by exerting compressive force in a direction that is orthogonal to the axis of the dispenser, by squeezing the device between the fingers and the palm, a motion that is easier for certain individuals.
