INHALATOR

摘要

An inhalation device for dispensing medicament comprising a body; a medicament carrier; a mouthpiece, reversibly movable from a storage position wherein said mouthpiece is within said body to an in-use position wherein a portion of the mouthpiece protrudes from the body and wherein the mouthpiece is in communication with said medicament carrier to allow passage of medicament therebetween; and a mouthpiece actuator coupled to the mouthpiece by a coupling mechanism comprising a rack and pinion mechanism or a hinged lever mechanism such that actuation of said mouthpiece actuator moves the mouthpiece towards said storage position and deactuation of the mouthpiece actuator moves the mouthpiece towards said in-use position, wherein said body is shaped to be holdable in one hand and the mouthpiece actuator is actuable in response to a discrete motion of the thumb on the same hand.
