Abstract: In the apparatus for removing solid medications from blister packs, comprising a shell-shaped bottom part and a hood-shaped top part, the bottom part (2) is provided with an axle (13). It further exhibits recesses (10), which are disposed concentrically to the axle (13). The one end of the axle (13) is configured as a rotational axis and translational guide for the top part (1). The top part (1) reaches over the bottom part (2) and exhibits a hub (15), which is supported on the axle (13) by means of a spring (6). Parallel to the hub (15) on the top part (1) there is disposed a ram (8), which, given an appropriate setting of the top part (1) relative to the bottom part (2), is aligned with respectively one of the recesses (10). The other end of the axle (13) is provided with a journal (11) for receiving a bearing plate (7) for the blister pack (5). The bearing plate (7) exhibits holes (9), which form with the recesses (10) of the bottom part (2) passages for the ram (8).

Abstract: In the inhaler for the repeated inhalation of powdered pharmaceuticals there is arranged, in a housing (13) which has a rotatable cap (4), a dosing wheel with dosing chambers (22) between the intermediate floor (21) and a frame (20), which is supported on the baseplate (14). The rotatable cap (4), which is supported on the lid (17) by means of a spring (12), has an axially arranged cylinder (7) which projects through the lid (17), the intermediate floor (21) and the frame (20) into the housing (13) and is the drive shaft for the dosing wheel (1). The housing (13) is provided with a supply chamber (2) whose bottom part (intermediate floor (21)) has an opening (23) whose cross-section corresponds to that of the dosing chambers (22).
