(57) Abstract :
An inhaler for delivering a powdered inhalation formulation from a blister strip having a plurality of blister pockets is proposed. The
used part of the blister strip comprising emptied blister pockets is coiled by a clock spring or pushed into a helical channel. This
results in a simple construction, in which the used blister strip is kept separate from the part that has not yet been used. (Fig. 2)
