Abstract

An inhalation apparatus for dispensing substances for inhalation. The inhalation apparatus comprises a housing, the housing comprising an air inlet and an outlet, the housing defining a socket for receiving therein a dispensing container, the dispensing container having a portion of reduced cross sectional area. The inhalation apparatus further comprises a section of reduced diameter intermediate the air inlet and the outlet. In use, the dispensing container is movable within the socket between positions one, two and three. In the first position (the rest position) the section of reduced diameter interfaces with the dispensing container to prevent or substantially prevent flow of air between the air inlet and the outlet. In the second position (the flow position) the section of reduced diameter is at least partially aligned with the portion of reduced cross sectional area of the dispensing container to thereby form a gap sufficient to enable a flow of air between the air inlet and the outlet. The third position is associated with dispensation of a product from the dispensing container into the flow of air.
