Abstract: A dust cap for a pMDI having a cap part adapted for a push-fit on the dispensing nozzle of the pMDI and a strap part for connecting the dust cap to the pMDI, wherein the cap part is slidably mounted on the strap part for sliding movement between an extended position and a contracted position.

Abstract: An inhaler is provided with a restricting member to prevent unintentional actuation of the inhaler. Also provided is an inhaler with an extensible strap joining a dust cap to the housing of an inhaler, the strap being particularly suited for use with inhalers that comprise a restricting member. The inhaler is useful, for example, in the treatment of asthma.

Abstract: A closure is provided for use with a dispensing device which comprises a housing having a dispensing outlet, a supply of a substance and a dispensing member mountable in the housing in a rest position relative to the housing and movable from the rest position to an actuated position, said movement from the rest position to the actuated position causing dispensing of said substance out of the dispensing outlet. The closure is adapted to close the dispensing outlet in two different orientations of the closure. Moreover, the closure has a restricting member which, when the closure closes the dispensing outlet in either orientation, prevents movement of the dispensing member from the rest position to the actuated position so that dispensing of the substance is prevented when the closure closes the dispensing outlet.
