ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a hand-held device for apportioned delivery of sprayable substances, in particular inhaler medicaments the device, having a cartridge which is displaceable by pressing in a housing into the open position for delivery, and an indexing mechanism which is moved along by the cartridge during the opening stroke of the cartridge for registering and displaying delivery actuations which have been carried out. The feeding mechanism, which indexing mechanism is disposed in a housing centrally below the opening-side end wall of the cartridge, overlappinqly with respect to the valve tube of the cartridge. In order to configure a hand-held device of the type in question in a spatially advantageous manner with a simplified construction and such that it is more reliable in terms of handling, it is proposed to displace plate-shaped housing as a whole with the cartridge, except for a step-by-step indexing finger star disposed therein.
