ABSTRACT:
The inhaler includes a storage chamber for the powder to be delivered and an inhalation passage through which air is drawn via a mouth piece. A metering member having a frustoconical side wall presents each dose to the inhalation passage in an upwardly open metering cup to be drawn therefrom by the air flow through the passage. A wiping element removes any particles of powder from the dispensing cup as it travels from the inhalation passage to the storage chamber to be refilled, and a chamber containing a moisture-absorbent material dries the empty cup and also dries the powder in the cup prior to inhalation to aid its removal from the cup. A mechanical counter is indexed each time the metering member is indexed to display the number of doses used or remaining.
