AU2006273856B2 — Medicament dispenser

USPTO Abstract

There is provided a medicament dispenser for use with at least one medicament carrier (100; 300a, 300b) carrying multiple distinct medicament portions. The medicament dispenser comprises a dispensing mechanism (340, 350a, 350b) actuable for dispensing the distinct medicament portions carried by said at least one medicament carrier, a mouthpiece (332), and a cover (330) for said mouthpiece. The cover is movably mounted to the dispenser for sequential movement from a first position, in which said mouthpiece is covered, to a second position, in which said mouthpiece is at least part-uncovered, to a third position in which said mouthpiece is uncovered. The cover is adapted to couple with said dispensing mechanism such that movement of the cover from the second position to the third position, but not the first position to the second position, results in actuation of the dispensing mechanism.
