Abstract

Battery-powered pocket electrical inhaler, consisting of a cylindrical casing B, for example made of metal or of plastic, ending at its top in an inhalation chamber 1 designed to match the shape of the nose and including, in combination, successively from top to bottom: a disc of absorbent material 2 highly impregnated with a volatile therapeutic inhalant product, a circular grille 3 interposed between the disc 2 and a miniature heating element 4 with ultrarapid heating, air inlet orifices 5 made in the casing B under the heating element, an outer switch 6, operation of which by the user either makes contact between the heating element 4 and the supply batteries 7, immediately causing heating of the said heating element and of the air sucked in by the user and entering through the orifices 5 of the casing and consequently evaporation of the volatile product impregnating the disc 2 towards the inhalation chamber 1, or switching off of the heating element 1.

Description

La présente invention concerne us inhalateur de poche électrique alimenté par pilea.The present invention relates to an electric pocket inhaler powered by pilea.

Cet inhalateur se présente sous la forme d'une lampe torche dont l'ampoule est remplacée par un élément chauffant miniature et le projecteur remplacé par un élément galbé formant chambre d'inhalation prévue pour épouser la forme du nez de l'utilisateur de manière à assurer l'étancheité requise autour des narines.This inhaler is in the form of a flashlight, the bulb of which is replaced by a miniature heating element and the projector replaced by a curved element forming an inhalation chamber designed to conform to the shape of the user's nose so as to ensure the required sealing around the nostrils.

Il est constitué par un boîtier cylindrique B tel qu'en matière plastique ou métal terminé à sa partie supérieure par une chambre d'inhalation et incluant en combinaison, successivement de haut en bas, les éléments suivants
un disque en matière absorbante fortement imprégné d'un produit thérapeutique inhalant volatil,
une grille circulaire,intercalée entre le disque et l'élément chauffant miniature
des orifices d'entrée d'air pratiqués circulairement dans le boîtier au-dessous de l'élément chauffant,
un contacteur extérieur dont la manoeuvre par l'usager commande ,soit la mise en circuit de l'élément chauffant avec les piles provoquant le chauffage du dit élément chauffant et de l'air pénétrant par les orifices lors de 1 'ins- piration de l'utilisateur, et par suite l'évaporation du produit inhalant volatil imprégnant le disque, vers la chambre d'inhalation , soit la mise hors circuit de l'élément chauffant.It consists of a cylindrical housing B such as plastic or metal terminated at its upper part by an inhalation chamber and including in combination, successively from top to bottom, the following elements
an absorbent material disc strongly impregnated with a volatile inhalant therapeutic product,
a circular grid, inserted between the disc and the miniature heating element
air inlet holes circularly formed in the housing below the heating element,
an external contactor, the operation of which by the user controls, ie the switching on of the heating element with the batteries causing the heating of said heating element and of the air penetrating through the orifices during the inspiration of the user, and consequently the evaporation of the volatile inhalant product impregnating the disc, towards the inhalation chamber, that is to say the switching off of the heating element.

On comprendra mieux la structure et le fonctionnement de l'inhalateur en se reportant aux figures annexées dans lesquelles
La Figure 1 représente en coupe un inhalateur selon 1 'in-
vention
La Figure 2 représente un détail de la Figure 1 ,
La Figure 3 est une vue générale de l'inhalateur servant
à en expliquer le fonctionnement lorsqu'il est pris en main.The structure and functioning of the inhaler will be better understood by referring to the appended figures in which
Figure 1 shows in section an inhaler according to 1 '
vention
Figure 2 shows a detail of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a general view of the inhaler used
to explain how it works when taken in hand.

Sur les Figures ,les mêmes éléments sont désignés par les mêmes références.In the Figures, the same elements are designated by the same references.

La référence 1 désigne la chambre d'inhalation conformée pour recevoir de manière étanche le nez de l'utilisateur.Reference 1 designates the inhalation chamber shaped to receive the nose of the user in a sealed manner.

La référence 2 désigne le disque en matière absorbante fortement imprégné d'un produit inhalant thérapeutique quelconque, disposé au fond de la chambre d'inhalation 1 sur une grille 3 dont il est possible de l'extraire aisément après chaque utilisation afin de lui en substituer un autre.The reference 2 designates the disc of absorbent material strongly impregnated with any therapeutic inhalant product, placed at the bottom of the inhalation chamber 1 on a grid 3 from which it is possible to easily extract it after each use in order to replace it. another.

La référance 4 désigne un élément de chauffage miniature électrique à chauffage rapide et faible consommation ,mis en circuit ou hors circuit avec des piles d'alimentation 7 au nombre de trois dans l'exemple représenté,mais qui pourrait être autre.Reference 4 designates an electric miniature heating element with rapid heating and low consumption, switched on or off with supply batteries 7 three in number in the example shown, but which could be other.

Les trous d'entrée d'air 5 sont pratiqués circulairement dans le boîtier B sous l'élément chauffant 4 de manière que l'air entrant dans le boîtier par suite de l'inspiration de l'utilisateur,soit chauffé par l'élément chauffant 4 avant de traverser le disque 2 imbibé auquel il confère une puissance et rapidité d'évaporation avant d'être aspiré par les narines placées à la sortie de la chambre d'inhalation 1.The air inlet holes 5 are made circularly in the housing B under the heating element 4 so that the air entering the housing as a result of the user's inspiration, is heated by the heating element 4 before crossing the soaked disc 2 to which it gives a power and rapidity of evaporation before being sucked in by the nostrils placed at the outlet of the inhalation chamber 1.

Le contacteur 6 est du type utilisé communément dans les lampes de paCsie commandé par la pression du doigt de l'utilisateur. The contactor 6 is of the type commonly used in parking lamps controlled by the pressure of the user's finger.

Les piles 7 sont disposées dans le bottier B de la manière conventionnelle.The batteries 7 are arranged in the case B in the conventional manner.

On notera que les orifices d'entrée d'air pratiqués dans le bottier B sont disposés circulairement au voisinage et audessous de ltélément 4,de manière que l'élément chauffant 4, les orifices d'air 5 ,le disque 2 et la chambre d'inhalation 1 forment un ensemble compact de très faible volume juste au-dessous des narines de l'utilisateur de façon à assurer une rapidité d'action et une grande efficacité,le produit inhalant volatil étant imnédiatement véhiculé depuis le disque 2 vers la chambre d'inhalation 1 et les narines de l'utilisateur. It will be noted that the air inlet orifices made in the housing B are circularly disposed in the vicinity and below the element 4, so that the heating element 4, the air orifices 5, the disc 2 and the chamber d inhalation 1 form a compact assembly of very small volume just below the nostrils of the user so as to ensure rapidity of action and high efficiency, the volatile inhalant product being immediately transported from the disc 2 to the chamber d inhalation 1 and the user's nostrils.
