A handheld misting device has a housing having a dispensing window is arranged and configured to contain a sonic generator, a power source coupled to the sonic generator, a plurality of reservoirs, each containing a liquid, and a plurality of nozzles, each nozzle arranged and configured for removable coupling to the sonic generator. Each nozzle is associated with and in liquid communication with a single reservoir. The sonic generator includes a converter and an elongate horn having a proximal end coupled to the converter and a distal end, and the nozzle is removably coupled to the distal end of the horn. Thus, the device delivers the liquid through a delivery opening formed in the nozzle, and activating the sonic generator energizes the liquid in the nozzle to generate an aerosol plume that is delivered through the dispensing window.

A device, which is closable by a cap, for inhaling powdery substances, particularly of a medicinal kind, contained in capsules is displaced by a slider into an emptying position for the purpose of aspirating completely the content thereof. The air inlet for the mouthpiece channel is adjacent to and below the closed mouthpiece cap.

An atomizer includes an atomization assembly and a medicine storage assembly idetachably coupled to the atomization assembly, wherein the medicine storage assembly includes a storage housing, and a medicine liquid transporting cotton disposed in the storage housing, wherein the atomization assembly includes a fixing housing and an atomizing element disposed in the fixing housing to align with the medicine liquid transporting cotton in a manner that the medicine liquid transporting element is arranged to deliver medicine liquid to the atomizing element.

Disclosed are dry powder inhalers for delivering medicament to a user from a blister pack, the blister pack having a plurality of spaced-apart blister pockets containing doses of the medicament. The inhalers comprise: a housing for accommodating unused and used portions of the blister pack together with a dispensing mechanism for selectively opening the blister pockets; and a manifold component through which air can be drawn in use of the inhaler. The manifold component comprises: a primary air inlet opening for receiving first external air; an air outlet opening for providing the external air from the primary air inlet opening into an opened blister pocket, the primary air inlet opening being fluidly connected to the air outlet opening by a primary air delivery conduit formed in the manifold component; a medicament inlet opening for receiving air-entrained medicament from the opened blister pocket, the air outlet opening and the medicament inlet opening being arranged side-by-side to enable simultaneous communication with the opened blister pocket; and a medicament outlet opening for delivery of the air-entrained medicament from the opened blister pocket to the user, the medicament inlet opening being fluidly connected to the medicament outlet opening by a medicament delivery conduit formed in the manifold component. The disclosed inhalers embodiments provide a variety of improvements to the design of the manifold component.

An inhalation device controller is configured to control an atomizer including a container configured to hold an aerosol source of a liquid, a heater, and a transport portion configured to transport the aerosol source from the container to a heating area by the heater. The controller includes a control circuit configured to monitor a physical amount correlated with a temperature of the heater and configured to control power to be supplied to the atomizer such that the physical amount under monitoring approaches a target value. The target value is set such that the temperature of the heater during heating of the aerosol source falls within a range of 210 C. to 230 C.

A medical agent inhaler includes a body that is provided therein with a container accommodating chamber, a tubular mouthpiece that protrudes upward from the body, an inhalation passage having a first end that is open to a container accommodating part and a second end that is open to an upper end of the mouthpiece, a container that is accommodated in the container accommodating part and is provided therein with a medical agent accommodating chamber of which an upper side is formed as an opening, the container being capable of switching positions between a dosing position where the opening of the medical agent accommodating chamber is communicated with the inhalation passage and a storage position where the opening is separated from the inhalation passage, and an inflow passage that is disposed on the body to be positioned closer to the upper side than the container accommodating part.
