Definitions
- the object of the invention is an inhaler apparatus for mitigating respiratory complaints, comprising a house, salt holder space, filling, aspiration hole, base and blocking member, the base is supplied with bottom holes, the blocking member is supplied with upper holes, and there is a beak between the house and the aspiration hole.
- Patent specification No. HU 213.187 describes an apparatus which contains a swirl chamber in the house containing the active ingredient, and the inlet of the apparatus is tangentially connected to it. The carrying agent of the active ingredient flows in through this inlet, while there is an outlet chunk at the other end of the chamber.
- the apparatus described in patent specification No. HU 210.758 comprises a stationary part and a rotary part, where the rotary part prevents the grains from clumping. The other function of the rotary part is to supply and loosen the active ingredient.
- Patent specification No. HU 171.644 and HU 213.661 describe apparatuses having special mechanisms for supplying the agent to be inhaled.
- WO 01/45777 describes an inhaler apparatus for aspirating blister packed powdered products. Its disadvantage is that the agent quickly runs short from the apparatus, as only one portion can be used at one occasion.
- Patent specification No. HU 220.182 describes an inhaler apparatus suitable for treating asthmatic complaints.
- the apparatus has a plastic house, a storage space, iodous salt crystal filling in the storage space, inlet and outlet openings, a metal screen and a beak.
- the permissive cross section corresponding to at least one inlet opening is larger than the permissive cross section corresponding to the outlet opening.
- the filling is precipitating on the metal screen, and further, if the apparatus is placed on wet table, the water is absorbed into the tank. It is also unfavourable that when the air is breathed out, it can get into the apparatus causing the salt to clump. Salt crystals of grain size smaller than 1.5 mm are especially disposed to clumping.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the known constructions, and to develop an inhaler apparatus which contains no separate screen, which is made of natural material, prevents the humid air coming from the lungs get into the apparatus, the filling is ventilated, and if the apparatus is placed on a wet place, the filling does not contact with the wet surface.
- the inhaler apparatus has several advantages. Due to their size, the salt crystals are not disposed to clumping. Due to its light weight, the inhaler can be designed to be a small size portable apparatus as well. It contains no metal screen, so the probability of precipitation of the salt crystals is also reduced. The blow-back of air is prevented by a retaining valve. At the bottom it has a ventilation channel so that the salt crystals are ventilated, and further, its bottom is raised, so it is less exposed to moisture, e.g. if it is left on the kitchen table. Also for this reason the lower openings are smaller than the upper openings.
- the apparatus contains no plastic, the house is made of environment protecting ceramics and is ergonomically designed. Under the house there is a surface promoting the binding of essential oils, which is advantageous for combined therapy.
- the apparatus is cheaper and more economical than the known ones.
- the major advantage of the apparatus is that, as it is experimentally shown, it is even suitable for substituting cave therapy.
- Figure 1 is an axonometric view of the apparatus
- Figure 2 is the rear view of the apparatus
- Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the apparatus according to plane A-A shown in figure 2,
- Figure 4 is a sectional view of the apparatus according to plane B-B shown in figure 2,
- Figure 5 is the front view of the apparatus
- Figure 6 is the lateral view of the apparatus
- Figure 7 is the bottom view of the apparatus.
- Figure 1 shows the house 1, the grip 2, the filling opening 3, the blocking plug 4, the adhesive layer 5, the ventilating channel 6, the beak 7, the aspiration hole 8, the exhaust opening 9, the hollow 9a, the retaining valve 10, the clamping boss 11, the bearing brim 12, the base 13, and the bottom holes 14.
- the grip 2 is ergonomically designed so as to facilitate grasping.
- the blocking plug 4 and the retaining valve 10 are shown as an exploded view.
- the clamping boss 11 of the retaining valve 10 is stack into the hollow 9a of the exhaust opening 9.
- figure 2 shows the filling opening 3, the beak 7, the exhaust opening 9 and the ventilating channel 6.
- figure 3 shows the aspiration hole 8, the bearing brim 12, the base 13, the salt holder space 16 for the filling 19, and the upper blocking member 17.
- Figure 4 shows the upper blocking member 17 with the upper holes (18) in section.
- Figure 5 shows the house 1, the ventilating channel 6, the beak 7 and the aspiration hole 8.
- figure 6 shows the filling opening 3, the ventilating channel 6 and the beak 7.
- Figure 7 shows the bottom holes 14 and the binding surface 15 of the base 13, the bearing brim 12 and the ventilating channel 6.
- the house 1, the beak 7, the base 13 and the blocking member 17 form one unit, and are made of ceramics with the bottom holes 14 and the upper holes 18 left free.
- the filling 19 is at least 10 grams of salt crystals of grain size between 1,6 and 4,8 mm.
- the preferable composition of the salt crystals is: NaCl 98,7 %, CaCl 2 0, 13 %, CaSO 0, 1 %, MgCl 2 0,028 %, and Fe 2 O 3 0,00056 %.
- the salt crystals may contain traces of iodine and bromine as well.
- the filling 19 is placed in the apparatus through the filling opening 3, and than the blocking plug 4 made of silicone rubber is fixed with two-component resin-based adhesive.
- the apparatus is used for inhalation by taking the beak 7 in the mouth.
- supplementary therapy essential oils are placed on the bottom of the apparatus.
