Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a breath actuated inhaler (BAI) actuator may include a loading element capable of being loaded with an actuation force and a breath actuated trigger mechanism arranged to counteract the actuation force of the loading element and to fire the actuator by releasing the actuation force of the loading element in response to an inhalation breath. An actuation locking device may be moveable between a locked position wherein it relieves the actuation force from the trigger mechanism setting the trigger mechanism in a neutral position, and an armed position wherein the trigger mechanism is set in an armed position.
