Patent number: 9050428Abstract: A device, cartridge and method for dispensing a liquid, preferably a drug, are proposed. The liquid is pressurized in a cartridge to a first lower pressure and, then, pressurized in doses by a pump to a second higher pressure. A valve arranged between the cartridge and the pump is normally closed and/or opened only temporarily. Thus, evaporation and dripping of liquid can be avoided or minimized.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Stephen T.

Patent number: 8584669Abstract: An inhaler (1) is proposed (see FIG. 1), for the inhalation of a formulation (2) from capsules (3) that each contain one dose of the formulation. The capsules are preferably each emptied in a capsule chamber (4) by being set in motion by a stream of air flowing through the capsule chamber. The stream of air can be generated by the inhalation of a user or patient and/or can be generated actively generated by the inhaler. For simple handling, the inhaler has a means for, in particular, automatic filling, emptying and/or cleaning of the capsule chamber, if the latter is used more than once. Alternatively, the inhaler has a large number of capsule chambers that each preferably already contain a capsule and re preferably used just once.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbHInventors: Jens Besseler, Hubert Kunze, Achim Moser, Ralf Thoemmes, Gilbert Wuttke, Dieter Hochrainer, Heinrich Kladders, Christoph Dworzak, Josef Eckert, Antonio Lanci, Markus Mast, Elmar Mock, Andre Klopfenstein
