  • Patent number: 9027548
    Abstract: An aerosol generating device includes a membrane for atomizing a liquid; an actuating device, which is coupled to the membrane so that this membrane is set in oscillatory motion when activated by electric signals; and a flexible substrate, which has electric lines for supplying electric signals to the actuating device and is designed for fastening the aerosol generating device to a fastening area of an inhalation therapy unit, and on which the membrane and the actuating device are held.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: PARI Pharma GmbH
    Inventors: Markus Borgschulte, Wolfgang Achtzehner, Andreas Pfichner, Norbert Kamm
  • Patent number: 7472701
    Abstract: An aerosol generation device comprising an oscillatable membrane (1) for the nebulization of a liquid, having a first curved region (11), and an oscillation generating device (2, 3) by which the membrane can be caused to oscillate such that a liquid disposed on one side of the membrane is nebulized through the oscillating membrane and is present on the other side of the membrane as an aerosol. The membrane has at least a second region (12) which is surrounded by the first region (11). The first region (11) and the second region (12) have different curvatures (1/r1, 1/r2).

  • Publication number: 20060213503
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhalation therapy device having a control device which actuates an aerosol generating means in different modes simultaneously. With the inhalation therapy device according to the invention it is possible to generate specific aerosols relative to the predominant aspect of the therapy. The changeover between different aerosols is to be accomplished without any major effort by the patient and/or the therapist carrying out the treatment.
