Abstract:
A type of housing used to carry an inhaler canister for delivery of an active agent is described. The inhaler housing has a body for receiving the inhaler canister and a mouthpiece which is to be placed in the mouth of a user and through which a dose from the inhaler canister is to be delivered. In one embodiment the body and the mouthpiece are rotatably coupled to one another so that by turning the mouthpiece relative to the body the inhaler housing is reversibly converted between a carry configuration in which the mouthpiece and body are mutually aligned, and a use configuration in which the mouthpiece projects laterally from the body. The inhaler housing has a member which is variably elastically deformed as the mouthpiece is turned relative to the body, investing the member with elastic potential energy which varies with the mouthpiece's rotational position with respect to the body and which has at least two minima corresponding to the carry configuration and the use configuration respectively, so that rotation of the mouthpiece relative to the body tends to stop when either of these configurations is reached.

Claim (Index 25):
An inhaler housing as claimed in  claim 24  in which the said axis lies in a front portion of the body so that in the use configuration an opening is formed around the nozzle element for entry of inhaled air to the mouthpiece.
