Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of communications device housings, namely housings for the support and protection of hand-held electronic devices having data input features and video screens. In particular, the present invention relates to housings for communications devices such as smartphones, for example, which housings protect the communications devices and can be easily cleaned. The housing consists of two interacting housing parts to protect a smartphone therein, wherein the first housing part comprises sliding channels (35) into which tabs (34) of the second housings slide when the two housings are slit together to be closed. The end of the sliding channels (35) comprise a detent member (36) into which the tabs (34) engage when the housing is closed. A locking mechanism (29) is provided which fixes the both hosing parts when closed.

Abstract: A single dose aerosol chamber is used with a dispensing apparatus by users to take a chamber, fill the chamber with an aerosolized vaccine, and dispose of used chambers. A display provides instructions to encourage prompt inhalation by the user from a dispensed and filled chamber. The station allows very fast administration of vaccines to large numbers of people. The aerosol dispenser apparatus detects the chamber is in correct position and delivers a pre-determined dose of aerosol. The chamber has a nebulizer delivery port optimized for delivery of aerosol into the chamber container and to act as a vent during inhalation via the inhalation port.
