INHALER SYSTEM WITH SINGLE PLANE PIERCING ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017026 titled 'INHALER SYSTEM WITH SINGLE PLANE PIERCING ELEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an inhaler system that includes a housing with a cavity, a sleeve positioned within the cavity, and a capsule contained within the sleeve. The system also includes a piercing element with a single shaft extending from a fixed end to a tip, parallel to the sleeve's longitudinal axis. The piercing element has a diameter ranging from 0.5 to 0.9 mm and a cutting plane angle between the longitudinal axis and the single cutting plane, ranging from about 25 to 35 degrees.

  • The inhaler system includes a housing, sleeve, capsule, and piercing element.
  • The housing defines a cavity to hold the other components.
  • The sleeve is positioned within the cavity and extends along its longitudinal axis.
  • The capsule is contained within the sleeve.
  • The piercing element is a single shaft extending from a fixed end to a tip.
  • The piercing element's longitudinal axis is parallel to the sleeve's longitudinal axis.
  • The piercing element has a diameter ranging from 0.5 to 0.9 mm.
  • The piercing element's tip has a single cutting plane.
  • The cutting plane angle is between the longitudinal axis of the piercing element and the single cutting plane.
  • The cutting plane angle ranges from about 25 to 35 degrees.

Potential Applications:

  • This inhaler system can be used for delivering medication through inhalation.
  • It can be utilized in the treatment of respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Problems Solved:

  • The inhaler system provides a precise and controlled mechanism for piercing the capsule and releasing the medication.
  • It ensures accurate dosing and efficient delivery of the medication to the user's respiratory system.

Benefits:

  • The single-shaft piercing element simplifies the design and manufacturing process of the inhaler system.
  • The precise cutting plane angle allows for optimal piercing and release of the medication.
  • The compact and portable nature of the inhaler system makes it convenient for users to carry and use on-the-go.
  • The controlled delivery mechanism ensures consistent and effective medication administration.


Original Abstract Submitted

an inhaler system includes a housing defining a housing cavity, a sleeve extending along a sleeve longitudinal axis and positioned within the housing cavity, a capsule is contained within the sleeve, and a piercing element comprising only a single shaft extending from a fixed end to a tip along a piercing element longitudinal axis. the piercing element longitudinal axis being parallel with the sleeve longitudinal axis. the piercing element having a piercing element diameter in a range from 0.5 to 0.9 mm. the single piercing element tip having only a single cutting plane and defining a cutting plane angle between the longitudinal axis of the piercing element and the single cutting plane. the cutting plane angle being in a range from about 25 degrees and about 35 degrees.
