USPTO Abstract

A suction piece (1) is provided with an inhaling port (3) and a holder housing member (2). A capsule holder (6) is provided with a capsule housing bore (7), axially extending ventilation passages (8, 8), and pin insert holes (10, 11) communicating with these ventilation passages (8) and extending in the radial direction. When a capsule (17) is held in the capsule housing bore (7) with pins (16) inserted in the pin insert holes (10, 11), through bores (H, H, ...) are formed in the capsule (17). When a patient inhales medicine with the pins (16) of a boring unit (14) returned to the suction piece (1), the medicine can be transferred to the lungs of the patient reliably and efficiently owing to the air current.
