The present invention relates to an inhaler which is appropriate for delivery of medicament in dry powder form used in respiratory diseases, particularly in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, the present invention relates to an inhaler which includes a blister package appropriate for carrying the medicament in dry powder form and used to realize an effective inhalation.

Some embodiments relate to a cartridge for use with an inhaler, the cartridge comprising: a plurality of source material units and a unit coupler configured for selectively interlocking to each of the source material units so that when the cartridge is operably attached to the inhaler, manipulation of the unit coupler moves the interlocked source material unit away from or back into the cartridge; the unit coupler and each of the source material units being formed with an interlocking geometry in which a protrusion of one fits within a respective recess of the other.

A unit dose container for holding a single dose of a given liquid, the container comprising: a chamber (8) in which, in use, the given liquid is stored, the chamber having a wall through which, in use, the liquid is to be supplied; a release mechanism (7), at least part of which is internal to, or forms part of the wall of the chamber, the release mechanism being movable relative to the chamber between first and second positions; and means for allowing the release mechanism (7) to move from the first to the second positions, thereby opening a passage through the wall so that the liquid can exit the chamber (8), the means including at least one flexible wall portion.

A device, method or kit for delivery of a treatment into a fluid flow for inhalation. More particularly, the invention relates to an infuser having a treatment chamber which receives a treatment or treatment element permeated with a treatment which mixes into a fluid flow to form a treatment vapor which egresses from the infuser.

A device for dispensing a substance which can be discharged by air, comprising a discharge nozzle, a pump device, an air guiding channel joining the pump device to the discharge nozzle, a strip-shaped element which is mounted in the device and which comprises chambers which contains the substance and which are embodied successively over the entire length in the strip-shaped element, a reservoir and an emptying region, the strip-shaped element having several layers. The second layer of the chamber, which is located in the emptying region, is already removed in the partial region comprising said chamber and the air subjected to the forced flow flows through the air-guiding channel merging into the opening plane in the chamber, for advantageously emptying. Also, with respect to the pump device, the pump wall comprises a pressure region and several convex regions and when the convex regions are pressurised, the convex regions remain essentially the same and/or the device comprises a receiving region which is designed as a closed receiving chamber within the device, and that the partial region is located, during an anticipated movement, in the emptying region forming a movable part of the wall of the capture chamber.

The present invention relates to improvements made in the blister advancement mechanism of dry powder inhaler devices. A dry powder inhaler device mechanism comprising an actuator plate and a transmission wheel is provided.
