  • Patent number: 5224471
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nasal dispenser for atomizing pharmaceutical substances which is of elongate form and is traversed by a longitudinal channel having an open end for housing the free end of the stem of a pump or dispensing valve, its other end being intercepted by a wall provided with a hole through which the substance is dispensed. The channel has a stepped cross-section which is a minimum in proximity to said wall. The channel houses an elongate element the cross-sections of which are smaller than their surrounding cross-sections of the channel into which the element is inserted. The length of the portion of smaller cross-section of the profiled element is greater than the length of the minimum cross-section portion of said channel to define an expansion chamber within it.
