Abstract: A nebuliser 1 particularly for home use comprises a housing 2 having an aerosol generator 3 mounted therein. The housing is closed by a hinged cap 4 and has an outlet 5 through which aerosol generated by the generator 3 is delivered. A suitable connector such as a mouthpiece 6 may be connected to the outlet 5. The housing 2 has a receiver for receiving a nebule 8. The receiver comprises a slot 7 which is sized and/or shaped to accommodate only a nebule 8 of predetermined shape and/or size. The nebuliser cap 4 has a nebule opening means which may be in the form of a puncture pin 10 projecting therefrom to pierce the nebule 8 when the cap is moved to the closed position. The pin 10 is hollow or splined to regulate flow from the nebule. The nebuliser 1 also has a switch means for enabling operation of the aerosol generator 3 when the nebule 8 is opened. The switch means comprises a microswitch 12 on the housing which is engageable by a trigger 13 on the cap 4 when the cap is moved to the closed position. Aerosol generated by the aerosol generator 3 is delivered into a chamber defined by the nebuliser housing 2. Air passes into the chamber through air inlets 30. The air entrains the aerosolised medicament and the entrained aerosolised medicament is delivered from the nebuliser through the outlet 5.

Abstract: A nebulizer (1) comprises a controller (2) linked at its output to a vibrating mesh nebulizer head (3), and at its input to a USB cable 5 and plug (4) for connection to a host system. The link between the plug (4) and the controller (2) is a USB cable (5) with power and data channels. The controller (2) comprises a boost circuit (10), a micro-controller (11), and a drive circuit (12). The latter provides power and control signals via a cable (6) and plug (7) to the head (3). These signals provide power and control for a vibrating membrane receiving a liquid to be aerosolised from a feed container. The controller (2) has a housing (25) with LED status lamps (30), and an ON/OFF button (32). Communication can take place between the controller (2) and the USB power source (4), in compliance with the USB protocol. This allows the controller (2) to be controlled via a host, either locally or remotely. The controller may be a slave device, with the dosing regime determined by the host. This allows comprehensive control and treatment monitoring for a wide variety of situations such as in the home or in hospitals.

Abstract: A liquid reservoir (100) of a nebulizer has a funnel portion (102) with ribs (103, 104) extending downwardly along a side wall towards a reservoir outlet (105). The ribs (103, 104) prevent the formation of air bubbles between the aperture plate and medication as any trapped air will be expelled along the geometry formed by the rib or groove and reservoir wall. Bubble formation is therefore prevented with only modification of the wall internal surface configuration of the reservoir.

Abstract translation: 喷雾器的液体储存器（100）具有漏斗部分（102），肋部（103,104）沿着侧壁朝着储存器出口（105）向下延伸。 肋（103,104）防止在孔板和药物之间形成气泡，因为任何被捕获的空气将沿着由肋或槽和储存器壁形成的几何形状排出。 因此，仅通过改变储存器的壁内表面结构来防止气泡形成。

Abstract: An aerosol generator (100) has a vibratable plate (1) with apertures therein and an annular piezo (2) which causes movement of the vibratable plate (1). An annular support member (3) supports the piezo (2) and the vibratable plate (1). A first electrical power conducting pin (10) engages directly with a first, top, surface of the piezo (2). A second electrical power conducting pin (11) indirectly conducts electrical power to a second surface of the piezo (2), by contacting an extension tab (103) of the support member (20), also on its top side. There is a film of cured epoxy adhesive on the tab (103), providing excellent gripping force between the pin (11) and the support (3). The aerosol generator (100) avoids need for soldered joints for electrical contact, and the pins are conveniently mounted parallel to each on the on the same lateral and top side of the piezo and support member. The pins may have multi-point tips (50) for particularly effective.
