  • Patent number: 11717622
    Abstract: The inhalation device for medically active liquids (F) for generation of an aerosol comprises a housing (1), a reservoir (2), a pumping device with a pumping chamber (3), and a nozzle (6), wherein the interior volume of the pumping chamber (3) is changeable by means of linear relative motion of the pumping chamber to the riser pipe (5). Said linear relative motion can be effected by a relative rotation of a rotatable part (1A) which is part of, or connected to, the housing (1) with respect to a second part (1B) of said housing (1), in that said relative rotation can be transferred by means of a gear mechanism into said relative translational motion. A means for the storage of potential energy (7) is provided which is chargeable by means of said relative rotation, and wherein said energy is releasable to said pumping device when released by activation of a release means.

  • Patent number: 10888883
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for atomizing a fluid flow, which is supplied under pressure, into fine particles, which has: a conical element with an upper surface, a lower surface and an outer surface which is adjacent to the upper and the lower surface, wherein the outer surface has a multiplicity of grooves which are formed therein and extend between the lower surface and the upper surface; and a counter element which is provided with a recess and is designed to receive the conical element and which has an inner surface such that the grooves are at least partially covered by the inner surface in order to form a multiplicity of channels; wherein the channels define outputs in order to let out a respective fluid jet which strikes against at least one other fluid jet in a region spaced apart from the upper surface of the conical element in order thus to atomize the fluid flow, and wherein the conical element is movable along the axis in order to increase or to reduce the effective cross sectio
