Patent NZ-536441-A (NZ)
Title: Rotational drive clutch mechanism
Inventor: LEIVENZON SIMON
Filed: 2004-11-09
Abstract: A rotational drive clutch mechanism is provided for permitting a secondary source of drive to be applied to a drive shaft (21) in the event that a primary secondary source of drive to be applied to the drive shaft is unavailable. The mechanism is fitted co-axially relative to the drive shaft and has a first clutch plate face (27) drive engaged with the drive shaft. A second clutch plate face (61) is carried adjacent one end of an idler clutch plate (29) and the second clutch plate face is for engaging and disengaging with the first clutch plate face. The idler clutch plate is fitted co-axially relative to the drive shaft so that it can move axially along that axis. A third clutch plate face (63) is provided adjacent the opposite one end of the idler clutch plate and engages with a fourth clutch plate face (75) carried by a drive wheel (15). Biasing means (33) biases the idler clutch plate so that the first clutch plate face and the second clutch plate face are normally disengaged. Thus, when the drive shaft is driven by the primary source of drive, the drive wheel does not rotate continuously with the drive shaft. In the event that the primary drive source is unavailable, the secondary drive is then applied to the drive wheel and the third and fourth clutch plate faces will move with respect to one another but will still stay rotationally drive engaged with one another, and will, as a result, cause the idler clutch plate to then slide along the drive shaft by overcoming the bias of the biasing means. Thus, there will then be engagement of the first and second clutch plate faces. The secondary source of drive can then be transmitted from the drive wheel through the idler clutch plate to the first clutch plate face to drive the drive shaft.

Title: Nozzle for handheld pulmonary aerosol electrohydrodynamic delivery device with single power source for discharge electrode and maintaining liquid at ground potential
Inventor: ATTERBURY WILLIAM G
IPC: B05B1/18
Filed: 2004-02-26
Abstract: An Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) nozzle (20a) particularly suitable for a handheld pulmonary aerosol inhaler increases the consistent and efficient dispensing of therapeutic liquids by reducing or eliminating wetting through shielding of discharge electrodes (26). Some versions further eliminate wetting while enhances neutralization of the aerosol through presentation of a corona wind of ions annularly surround the aerosol. Incorporation of improved liquid distribution with consistent pressure drops to each EHD nozzle tip (32) allows horizontal dispensing, and by using dielectric nozzle tips (32) with low surface energy to thereby avoid wicking between dispenses and to advantageously reduce achievable particle size when dispensing. Some versions feature enhanced snap-fit assembly and other manufacturability advantages. One of the unique features of the EHD nozzles (32) is achieved high dose rate (microliters/minute) with low wetting and small particle size (1.0-5 microns), although these properties tend to be mutually exclusive. Furthermore, these attributes are incorporated into a conveniently small, handheld device.
