Abstract: The device for inhalation of a powdery, pharmacologically active drug consists of a supply container (3) for the drug (4), a manually actuated metering unit for providing a portioned-off quantity of inhalation substance which is picked up by the air current drawn in during inhalation and is swirled, an air inlet channel (9), a swirl chamber (W), and a connection channel (8) between the swirl cheer (W) and the metering unit, as well as a mouthpiece channel issuing from the swirl chamber (W). The metering unit here consists of a metering drum (D) which has, in its interior (5), a supply container (3) for the drug. Furthermore, the air inlet channel (9) and the connection channel (8) are arranged in such a way that they run towards each other in a V-shape. During a metering procedure, a portioned-off quantity of drug for inhalation present in the shape of a dome is provided in each case at the apex of the two air channels (8) and (9) running towards each other in a V-shape.

Abstract: A folded box with a subdivided interior contains a partition arrangement consisting of cardboard zones which are connected integrally to the folding-box blank. One of the partition zones is bonded to a main zone. A web extends transversely from the other partition zone, in the lower region of the compartment enclosed by the partition zones, through the compartment, the upper edge of the said web limiting the compartment downwards. In this way, two bottles of differing diameter and of differing height, the closing caps of which are located at the same height, can be safely accommodated in the folding box. The web provides the necessary height compensation.

Abstract: In a sealable thermoplastic plastics material container for diagnostic test strips, the lid of the container is joined to the container wall via a tear strip and via a hinge piece formed by an extension of the tear strip. The tear strip extends round the circumference of the container apart from the width of the hinge piece.
