Inhaler design concepts: give me feedback

May 3, 2016 8:32 PM

Concept A, (Straight)

The diameter of the canister is smaller than standard but should still hold about 50 sprays (it is intended for people who get asthma attacks only occasionally). The mouth piece bends down so that the overall shape when not in use is slimmer and less bulky than the traditional inhalers

Concept B, (J-Shape)

The mouthpiece slides out from inside inhaler. Again, the overall shape is slimmer than the standard but with a slight curve which can sometimes be more comfortable in one's pocket than a straight object.

Straight: Aluminum

Straight: Dark aluminum

Straight: Black fabric wrap

J-shape: Light aluminum

J-shape: Dark aluminum

J-shape: Black fabric wrap

I don't need an inhaler but if I did I would prefer the J-shape, black fabric wrap by a wide margin because of the simplicity of design.

Option 1, but protect the mouthpiece without a case.

The straight one can act as a mini lightsabre and encourage children to take it with them.

Why does it have to have a bend in it at all? If it's to provide a ledge for the dose to impinge on, you could do that with a baffle.

Similar theory but in production is Auvi-Q. More compact Epi pen intended to fit in your pocket. They also play instructions when opened

Double the use age of the case, add an epipen!

We get it, you vape. (I'm kidding, obviously. They look really nice.)

What animation software did you use to make this?

It's just the animation environment within the CAD software I used to build it. (Fusion 360)

Good luck convincing a cop it's not drugs!

While I'm down to just occasional use any more, 50 sprays just isn't practical. Every inhaler I've used 1 dose is 2 sprays. At that rate

You'd go through more than one with a bad cold. And in the us generic inhalers can be expensive even with insurance. Those would be obscene.
