The dose counter has an indexing mechanism advancing the indication element on container actuation. The dispensing apparatus has an indexing member moving within the housing in sync with the container wherein on actuation of the container in a normal mode of operation the indexing member interfaces with the indexing mechanism to apply a force to the indexing mechanism to incrementally advance the indication element.

A hand-held dispenser for dispensing a pharmaceutical product is disclosed. The dispenser has a housing providing a duct. A frangible membrane is provided in the duct. A probe with a piercing tip is mounted in the duct and arranged such that, in use the piercing tip pierces the frangible membrane. An air compression device is provided to compress air for expelling a pharmaceutical product through the probe and a channel is provided to substantially equalise the pressure in the air compression device and the pressure above the frangible membrane. The ability to substantially equalise the pressure in the bellows and the pressure above the frangible membrane on the sheath provides for a mote consistent release of pharmaceutical product when the frangible membrane is pierced. This is because the compressed air from the bellows which expels the pharmaceutical product through the probe does not encounter a sudden change in pressure as it passes the pierced frangible membrane with the entrained pharmaceutical product. In use, when compressed air is used to expel a pharmaceutical product through the probe, the air path through the probe has a lower resistance than the channel to substantially equalise the pressure in the air compression device and the pressure above the frangible membrane. This ensures that the majority of the compressed air is used to expel the pharmaceutical product. The piercing tip preferably comprises a generally annular cutting edge on an end portion of the probe with an interruption in the generally annular cutting edge.
A seal for a valve for use in a pharmaceutical dispensing device, which seal is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer including a propylene component with isotactic crystallinity.
A dispensing apparatus (1) comprising a housing containing a dosage counter comprising at least two annular members (11, 13) and a cog (12), each being mounted rotationally. The housing is suitable for receiving, in use, a container (1) containing a product for dispensation. Each actuation of the apparatus causes the first annular member to incrementally rotate which, after a predetermined number of actuations of the apparatus, causes the cog to rotate, the rotation of the cog causing the second annular member to incrementally rotate.
A metering valve used with a pressurized dispensing container, the metering valve has a valve stem assembly that slides co-axially within an annular metering chamber that surrounds the valve stem assembly and forms a substantially cylindrical chamber body. The metering valve also has an outer seal at the top of the cylindrical chamber body and an inner seal at the bottom of the cylindrical chamber body. The valve stem assembly has an outlet and an associated passage that is above the line of the outer seal when the metering valve is at rest, and is below the line of the outer seal when the metering valve is actuated, thereby creating a dispensing passage for the metering chamber's contents. The valve stem assembly has an inlet and an associated passage that is above the line of the inner seal when the metering valve is at rest, and is below the line of the inner seal when the metering valve is actuated. This arrangement controls the amount of material and fluid dispensed in each metered dose, as both passages are never open to the metering chamber at the same time. The valve stem assembly forms a straight, central passage extending from an open inner end of the valve stem assembly to a mid-point of the valve stem assembly located longitudinally within the metering chamber. The valve stem assembly has at least two elongated openings in a wall of the valve stem assembly to allow radially-directed flow between an exterior of the valve stem assembly and the central passage, the elongated openings being located to extend either side of the inner seal when the valve stem assembly is in the non-dispensing position. These elongated inlet passages serve to assure that the device is more reliable during use.
The present invention provides dispensing apparatus for delivering metered doses of product from a pressurized dispensing container comprising:
a housing for receiving a pressurized dispensing container;
a dose counting mechanism comprising indication means for displaying to a user an indication associated with the number or quantity of doses dispensed from, or the number or quantity of doses remaining in, the received pressurized dispensing container;
the dose counting mechanism further comprising an indexing mechanism for advancing the indication means on actuation of the received pressurized dispensing container;
wherein the dispensing apparatus comprises an indexing member capable of moving within the housing in sync with the received pressurized dispensing container;
wherein on actuation of the received pressurized dispensing container in a normal mode of operation the indexing member is able to interface with the indexing mechanism to apply a force to the indexing mechanism sufficient to incrementally advance the indication means.
