The invention relates to an inhaler for the inhalation of powdery medicaments in a capsule form. Said capsules are inserted, prior to use, into a capsule holder (3) arranged inside the inhaler (3). After the capsule is inserted into the capsule holder, the patient can press the actuating element (8) which can be displaced from a resting position and which co-operates with at least one needle (9) pushed into the capsule holder. The aim of the invention is to further improve said type of inhalers with respect to operational comfort. Said aim is achieved by providing an embodiment of an inhaler wherein the actuating element is embodied as a multifunctional actuating element (8a), thereby enabling the cover (5) of the lower part (1) to pivot when the closing element (6) is inserted into a first functional position, and enabling the mouth piece (4), which is secured to the plate (2), to be removed from the plate in a second functional position in such a manner that the mouth piece can be pivoted away from the lower part. |
