Abstract:
An actuator for operatively engaging and dispensing a fluent medicament from a package in the form of a spray. The actuator includes a housing to receive and hold the package and further includes a force amplification mechanism that is connected to, and movable with respect to, the housing. The housing further includes a force transfer mechanism operatively engaged with a portion of the package. The force amplification mechanism is coupled with force transfer mechanism for accumulating a force sufficient to dispense the medicament from the package in the form of a spray.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of using an actuator for operatively engaging and dispensing a fluent medicament from a package in the form of a spray, the method comprising the steps of:\n obtaining an actuator according to  claim 1 ; installing a package within the actuator, the package of the type having a body containing a fluent medicament, a plunger movable relative to the body, an internal flow passage terminating at an exit orifice, and a frangible member for initially preventing movement of the plunger relative to the body; gripping the housing of the actuator in one hand to generate an input force on the force amplification mechanism; and amplifying and transferring the input force against the plunger of the package sufficient to dispense the medicament from the exit orifice of the package in the form of a spray.
