Abstract: A sheet driver for use in a medicament dispenser with blister pockets includes: (a) a base, extending from the base, (b) a shaft defining a rotational axis; at the base, (c) a drive surface for receipt of drive to rotate the base about the rotational axis; about the shaft, (d) a torsion spring defining first and second spring legs; mounting about the shaft and the torsion spring for rotation about the rotational axis, and (e) a hub defining a hub surface for receipt of a sheet of the medicament carrier, the hub surface being adapted to provide an initial effective winding surface which provides uniform indexing of the medicament carrier.

Abstract: A sheet driver for use in a drug dispenser where the sheet driver includes a shaft with a shaft cavity co-axial with a rotational axis of the shaft and a hub that defines a hub aperture, where within the shaft cavity there is an indicator pin having a side member and an indicator pin head that may project through the hub aperture, where within the shaft cavity there is a spring for biasing said indicator pin out of the shaft cavity, and where an engagement member may selectively engage said side member of the indicator pin to prevent movement of the engagement member upon the occurrence of an fault condition of the sheet driver.

Abstract: A medicament dispenser for use with at least one medicament carrier carrying multiple distinct medicament portions, said medicament dispenser comprising (a) a dispensing mechanism actuable for dispensing the distinct medicament portions carried by the at least one medicament carrier; (b) a mouthpiece; and (c) a cover for the mouthpiece, the cover being movably mounted to the dispenser for sequential movement from a first position, in which the mouthpiece is covered, to a second position, in which the mouthpiece is at least part-uncovered, to a third position in which the mouthpiece is uncovered; wherein the cover is adapted to couple with the dispensing mechanism such that movement of the cover from the second position to the third position, but not the first position to the second position, results in actuation of the dispensing mechanism.

Abstract: A sheet driver for use in a medicament dispenser including a medicament carrier having a plurality of pockets for containing medicament wherein the pockets are spaced along the length of and defined between first and second sheets secured to each other and separable by drivable pulling action, the sheet driver comprises a hub having a hub surface which is adapted to provide an initial effective winding surface which provides uniform indexing of the medicament carrier, and the tensioning of a torsion spring compensates for an increase in the effective winding surface of the hub caused by receipt of the sheet of the medicament carrier about the hub.

Abstract: There is provided a sheet driver for use in a medicament dispenser including a medicament carrier having a plurality of pockets for containing medicament wherein said pockets are spaced along the length of and defined between first and second sheets secured to each other and separable by drivable pulling action, the sheet driver comprising a base; ascending from the base, a shaft defining a rotational axis; on the base, a drive surface for receipt of drive to rotate the base about the rotational axis; about the shaft, a torsion spring defining first and second spring legs; mounting about the shaft and the torsion spring for rotation about the rotational axis, a hub defining a hub surface for receipt of a sheet of the medicament carrier. A first leg receiver of the base receives the first spring leg of the torsion spring and a second leg receiver of the hub receives the second spring leg of the torsion spring such that relative rotation of the base and the hub results in tensioning of the torsion spring.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing device for dispensing a fluid product having a dispensing outlet from which the fluid product is dispensable, a supply of the fluid product, a dispensing member mounted for movement in a dispensing direction along an axis X-X from a first position to a second position which causes a dose of the fluid product in the supply to be dispensed from the dispensing outlet, and a finger-operable actuator member mounted for movement in an actuating direction which is generally transverse to the axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sheet driver for use in a drug dispenser including a drug carrier (100) having a plurality of pockets (102, 103, 104) for containing drug wherein said pockets are spaced along the length of and defined between first (106) and second (105) sheets secured to each other and separable by drivable pulling action, the sheet driver comprising a base (220); ascending from the base, a shaft (230) defining a rotational axis; on the base, a drive surface (225) for receipt of drive to rotate the base about the rotational axis; about the shaft, a torsion spring (240) defining first (242) and second (244) spring legs; mounting about the shaft and the torsion spring for rotation about the rotational axis, a hub (250) defining a hub surface for receipt of a sheet of the drug carrier.

Abstract: A medicament dispenser for use with at least one medicament carrier carrying multiple distinct medicament portions, said medicament dispenser comprising (a) a dispensing mechanism actuable for dispensing the distinct medicament portions carried by the at least one medicament carrier; (b) a mouthpiece; and (c) a cover for the mouthpiece, the cover being movably mounted to the dispenser for sequential movement from a first position, in which the mouthpiece is covered, to a second position, in which the mouthpiece is at least part-uncovered, to a third position in which the mouthpiece is uncovered; wherein the cover is adapted to couple with the dispensing mechanism such that movement of the cover from the second position to the third position, but not the first position to the second position, results in actuation of the dispensing mechanism.
