Abstract: The invention relates to an aerosol generator (1), comprising a housing (20, 22), having a first holding member (24, 24?, 24?) and a second holding member (38), and a vibratable element (4) for generating an aerosol. The vibratable element (4) is at least partially accommodated in the housing (20, 22). The vibratable element (4) is contacted by and held between the first and second holding members (24, 24?, 24?; 38). The first holding member (24, 24?, 24?) is less flexible than the second holding member (38). Further, the invention relates to an aerosol delivery device comprising the aerosol generator (1).

Abstract: A membrane nebulizer for producing aerosol in an aerosol therapy device includes a membrane having several through-holes for nebulizing a fluid; and a laminar carrier having an opening, the membrane being arranged in the opening and fastened to the carrier in such a way that the nebulizing occurs on a first side of the carrier and the fluid is present at the membrane on the opposite second side of the carrier, wherein the membrane is welded to the carrier by means of a resistance welding method.

Abstract: The invention describes an aerosol generator for inhalation therapy devices, in which an oscillatable assembly, consisting of at least a membrane and an oscillation generator, is mounted in an encapsulating means such that at least the membrane is exposed for the supply of liquid and the generation of an aerosol, whereas the remaining parts of the oscillatable assembly are protected. Mounting occurs by means of a flexible passage such that the oscillatory motions of the oscillatable assembly are not negatively affected.

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).
