  • Patent number: 8302601
    Abstract: An inhaler for preparations in powder form, includes a first body (2), which is provided with an inhaling channel (3), and a second body (4), which is provided with at least one reservoir (6), which is open toward the outside and is preset to contain at least one dose of preparation in powder form. The first body (2) is associated with the second body (4) and can move with respect to the second body (4) between a first position, at which it closes the reservoir (6), and a second position, at which at least one connection is open between the reservoir (6) and the inhaling channel (3), making the dose of preparation in powder form available for inhaling.

  • Publication number: 20120160241
    Abstract: An upgraded inhalator for powder preparations comprises a main body having an inhalation channel, an external opening accessible by a user, and a tank adapted to receive a dose of powder preparation. The tank is opened to establish communication with the inhalation channel. At least one protuberance protrudes or extends towards the inside of the inhalation channel. Each protuberance defines substantially concave impact surface and is arranged on the opposite side to the external opening. The impact surface of each protuberance intercepts the powder preparation during its crossing of the inhalation channel towards the external opening.
