Apparatus for dispensing a medicament comprising a housing 2 defining an outlet through which, in use, medicament is dispensed. A removable cap 9, engageable with the outlet to close it, is connected to the housing by a strap 10 which is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer having sufficient elasticity to accommodate the engagement and disengagement of the cap with the outlet. The cap, therefore, is still attached to the housing when disengaged from the outlet. The cap may also be formed from a thermoplastic elastomer. A pad (20, Fig. 3b) of thermoplastic elastomer may be formed at one end of the strap and be fixedly attached to the housing to form a non-slip surface. The cap, pad and strap may be formed as a unitary body. The housing and the unitary body comprising the strap, pad and cap may be formed in two separate moulding steps. The dispensing apparatus may be an aerosol spray, an inhalator, a nasal actuator, or a spacer. |
