- the cover is provided with a substantially central opening and a plurality of openings arranged annularly around the central opening.
- the inhalation agent is arranged there near the lid openings and is vaporized during inhalation by the air flow generated during the suction, which enters the vessel through the holes. The resulting mixture of air and inhalant is inhaled through the central opening by the user.
- This known device has proven itself. It works practically with hand warmth and / or ambient temperature. A temperature regarded as favorable for the evaporation, which is equal to or higher than the body temperature, is effected or maintained over a longer period of time by making the container double-walled and filled with heat-containing agents.

- the construction of the container is made so that the cold air entering when inhaled into the container can not significantly affect the evaporation temperature.
- this is achieved by the water and the inhalant spatially on the opposite side of the lid, the bottom portion of the vessel angeord ⁇ net.
- the cold air flow which is sucked into the vessel during inhalation through the openings can therefore not spread over the inhalation medium and reduce the evaporation temperature.
- this is achieved by the lid penetrating the intake manifold for inhalation of the inhalation mixture led into the area in which the water and the inhalant are arranged, and therefore sucks the evaporated mixture near the evaporation point au.f.
- the also sucked fresh air enters through holes in the upper part of the nozzle, there is swirled with the mixture and therefore can not affect the temperature for the evaporation or evaporation of the mixture also.
- the water and the inhalant are absorbed by means of a sponge in this in the finest distribution, the construction makes it permeable to air through a plurality of pores.

- the handle with the nozzle penetrating the lid can be made in one piece, the lid being closed in the end position of the handle-carrier sponge construction, e.g. is screwed.
- the handle at its upper opening is also produced.
- the sucked through the lid openings fresh air enters through additional openings in the handle and / or by a non-sealing connection between the nozzle and handle in the airway «Finally, the fresh air sucked in only on the sponge and the bottom opening of the nozzle in this nozzle occur.
- the nozzle can be closed above the sponge, so there suck in no fresh air.
- the wall of the vessel can now be warmed or heated in several different ways. It can be filled as a double wall with hot water or another suitable hot liquid. It can be heated electrically. It can be used in a heater. The temperature can be adjusted or adjusted so that on the one hand, the evaporation takes place at the optimum temperature. But it can also heat the mixture already produced by evaporation and generated with cold, sucked fresh air so that it is supplied to the respiratory tract at the optimum temperature. In the interior of the vessel between the bottom of the vessel and Verwirbelungsraum the temperature is calculated so that a temperature between 50 ° and 38 °, averaged 45 ° is maintained.
- the sucked cold fresh air can be warmed before its Verwirbelung with the steam during their Strei ⁇ chen along the vessel wall.
- the handle of the wearer can be formed on its outside and / or inside strömungs ⁇ low so that the rising vapors are optimally mixed with the incoming air, for example, as upwardly tapering rod with spherical conclusion or as a nozzle with upwardly magnifying Diameter.
- a particular advantage of the device according to the invention is its environmental compatibility. It allows for the deep penetration of the inhalants into the respiratory tract, which could hitherto only be achieved by the use of aerosols, ie by containers with fine atomization by the CFCs which are today undesirable.

Since the ceramic elements are mostly offered as small platelets, it is expedient to form stacks of small platelets and to arrange these stacks either transversely or in parallel. A ring arrangement which is shown laterally from the inner container can also be achieved by columns arranged annularly around the inner container.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show a film 12a which seals off the heating elements 12 to the outside.
- the network connections are simply omitted. But they are available. Because of the so-called PTC heating elements own control behavior is an additional control of the temperature unnecessary.
