Abstract: A strip of containers for liquids, pastes or powders. The containers may be used for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, cosmetic or similar uses. The series of containers are closed at one end and have a removable plug at the other end. The containers are joined together by breakable intermediate connection elements near their longitudinal center and by breakable terminal connection elements positioned in correspondence with the plugs. The intermediate and terminal breakable connection elements lie in different planes than the one which contains the longitudinal axis of the containers so that the structure of the container strip is stiffened.

Abstract: A device for mouth-inhaling medicaments dispensed as aerosols by pressurized cans. The device is flat and compact in shape, and includes a seat for housing a can and defines an expansion chamber into which the aerosol dispensed by the can, when operated, penetrates and expands to circulate with a vortex flow which causes the solvent to evaporate and the flow movement to continue for a relatively long time, hence enabling only very small particles of the medicament to be drawn into the bronchial tubes and lungs. There is only minimum aerosol particle deposition on the walls of the oropharingeal cavity, and inhalation can continue after the entry of aerosol into the expansion chamber ceases.
