20090145431 | LIQUID FORMULATION EJECTION DEVICE - There is provided a liquid formulation ejection device which improves reliability of inhalation even in a case where a preejection is performed and resolves a concern about hygiene. The liquid formulation ejection device ( | 06-11-2009 |
20090283094 | MEDICINE EJECTION DEVICE - In a medicine ejection device for administering a medicine to the throat, bronchi or lungs, the air flow path to which the medicine has stuck is to be kept in clean state in a simple configuration. The medicine ejection device which ejects a medicine to be inhaled by a user via a suction port, including a flow path member linked to the suction port and capable of forming an air flow path in which the medicine is guided by the inhalation by the user to the suction port, and an internal wall face constituting member which is intended for formation of the internal wall of the air flow path and allows detachable fitting in the flow path member. | 11-19-2009 |
20100006094 | INHALER - An inhaler includes an inhaler body having an ejection head and an airflow duct forming member for forming an airflow duct on the inhaler body. In an inhalation standby status, the airflow duct forming member is driven to slide so as to be placed at rest on the inhaler body to partly cover the top part of the latter by means of a slide mechanism and make the airflow duct disappear. At this time, the top wall of the airflow duct forming member covers the ejection head to shield it from external air. In an inhalation status, the airflow duct forming member is driven to slide up and produce an airflow duct on the inhaler body. Thus, a compact inhaler that can be switched from an inhalation status to an inhalation standby status and vice versa with ease is realized. | 01-14-2010 |
20100024814 | INHALER - An inhaler includes a medicine cartridge having at least an ejection head and a first electrical connection section for supplying the ejection head with electric power necessary for ejecting medicine, an inhaler body having a medicine cartridge mounting section and an inhalation piece. The inhaler is so constructed that an electric circuit for supplying the ejection head with electric power necessary for ejecting medicine by way of the first electrical connection section is made operable by mounting and rigidly securing the inhalation piece onto the inhaler body. The inhaler can be operated by a user with ease and the ejection head is reliably electrically energized only when the inhaler is operated. | 02-04-2010 |
20100180890 | INHALER - An inhaler according to the present invention includes the following so that a user can visually confirm the ejection status of medicine: an air flow path communicating with a suction port through which a user inhales medicine; a medicine ejection portion ejecting the medicine supplied to the air flow path; an image sensor picking up the inside of the air flow path; a memory storing image data being the output of the image sensor; writing means storing the image data in the memory; and reading means reading the image data stored in the memory: wherein, the writing means is operated in synchronization with the timing of ejecting the medicine or after passing a predetermined time from ejecting the medicine. | 07-22-2010 |
