Abstract:
1. An inhaler assist device shaped and dimensioned for supporting a metered dose inhaler and an associated anti-static chamber in a manner allowing selective coupling of the metered dose inhaler and anti-static chamber for assisted compression of the metered dose inhaler to dispense a dosage therefrom, the inhaler assist device comprising: an L-shaped housing assembly pivotally connected to a lever actuator; the housing assembly includes a first housing leg and a second housing leg, the first housing leg includes a first end and a second end and the second housing leg includes a first end and a second end, the respective second ends of the first housing leg and the second housing leg are fixedly connected, and a first end of the lever actuator is pivotally secured to the first end of the first housing leg defining a hinge therebetween; the housing assembly includes a planar base wall and lateral side walls extending from the base wall, wherein the base wall and the lateral side walls create a cavity shaped and dimensioned for simultaneous selective coupling to both the metered dose inhaler and an anti-static chamber; wherein the lateral side walls of the housing include a slot forming a flexible anti-static chamber clip to accommodate different dimensioned anti-static chambers; and the lever actuator includes a planar base wall and lateral side walls extending from the base wall, the lever actuator further including at least one support cross member extending downwardly from the planar base wall and between the lateral side walls of the lever actuator.
