A device (20) is disclosed for dispensing a fluid supplied from an external fluid source (22). The device (20) comprises a transducer (32) adapted to receive a fluid from the fluid source, and a collapsible linkage coupling th e transducer (32) and the fluid source (22). The linkage has a collapsible joi nt (66) inhibiting discharge of the fluid source (22) when in a locked orientation. The device (20) further comprises a moveable member coupled to the linkage such that inhalation forces on the device cause the linkage to collapse thereby discharging the fluid from the fluid source (22). The devic e (20) may further include a dose counter coupled to the fluid source (22) for registering the amount of doses administered from the fluid source. |
