Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2325410A] The device comprises a mouthpiece 11 connected to a tubular body portion 12 and a tubular sleeve 13 movable on such portion, the body portion having a resistance opening 14 and guide means such as threads allowing the sleeve to move relative thereto and thereby obscure the resistance opening, the degree of obscurement being continuously variable between the fully obscuring and non-obscuring positions of the sleeve. In a modification, a threaded sleeve 33 is coaxial with the tubular body and adjustably obstructs an aperture 35 therein. The device may also have exhaust apertures 15, 36 which are opened and closed by means of a ball valve contained in an adjustable housing, the latter being capable of adjusting the distance the ball has to travel to seal off the exhaust opening(s) during inhalation of a user via the mouthpiece.
