Abstract: An inhaler is disclosed. It comprises a housing to receive an elongate strip of blisters each containing a dose of medicament and being sequentially movable into alignment with means for breaching a blister to enable a user to inhale said dose contained therein. The device comprises a spiral wound element within the housing that receives and coils said strip of blisters that have been breached.

Abstract: A capo for use with a stringed instrument having a plurality of strings a neck comprising a fingerboard and a back comprises a string-engaging arm, a clamping arm, and a pivotal connection to pivotally interconnect a string-engaging arm and clamping arm. The string-engaging arm adapted to in use extend across the fingerboard above the strings and in use press against the strings. The clamping arm is adapted to, in use, extend across engage the back of the neck. The pivotal connection is disposed, in generally towards one side of the neck and at a position behind the fingerboard inboard of a side edge of the fingerboard. This arrangement and location of the pivotal connection reduces the forces required in use to operate the capo.

Abstract: A capo (10) for use with a stringed instrument having a plurality of strings (4) and a neck (2). The neck (2) comprising a fingerboard (6) and a back (8). The capo (10) comprising a string engaging arm (12) and a clamping arm (14) that are adapted to press against and clamp the strings (4). The arms (12,14) pivotally interconnected about a pivotal connection (16) and axis (1) at a position along said arms (12,14) that is adjacent a side of the neck (2). The pivotal connection includes a releasable locking means (18) which is operable to selectively lock and unlock the pivotal connection and the relative pivotal movement of the clamping arm (14) and string engaging arm (12) at least in a particular direction.

The pivotal connection includes a releasable locking means (18) which is operable to selectively lock and unlock the pivotal connection arid the relative pivotal movement of the clamping arm (14) and string engaging arm (14) at least in a particular direction. In particular the locking means (18) is operable to selectively lock and unlock the pivotal connection and relative pivotal movement of the clamping arm (14) and string engaging arm (14) away from each other and the neck of the instrument in a clamping direction.
