A nebulizer for a fluid and a container holding the fluid which is insertable in the nebulizer are proposed. To improve safety in use it is proposed that the nebulizer comprises first coding means and the container is associated with second coding means, so that the container can only be inserted in the nebulizer or used therewith if the codes match. Preferably, the code associated with the container comprises clear identification of the fluid contained in the container.

We claim: 1. A nebulizer for a fluid, comprising: a manually operable, purely mechanical nebulizer body, means for conveying and nebulizing of the fluid, and a replaceable container of the fluid for use in the nebulizer body, wherein a first coding is provided on the nebulizer body and a second cod
We claim: 1. A nebulizer for a fluid, comprising: a manually operable, purely mechanical nebulizer body, means for conveying and nebulizing of the fluid, and a replaceable container of the fluid for use in the nebulizer body, wherein a first coding is provided on the nebulizer body and a second coding is provided on the container, wherein the first and second codings cooperate with each other in a manner such that only a container with the correct second coding is usable with the container body, wherein one of said first and second codings is a projection and the other of said first and second codings is a recess, said projection and recess extending in an insertion direction of the container into the nebulizer body for engagement by axial insertion of the container; and wherein said container is fully insertable into the nebulizer body only when the shape and size of the projection is matched to the shape and size of said recess. 2. The nebulizer for a fluid according to claim 1, wherein said codings are one of a plurality of different codings of varying axial length. 3. The nebulizer for a fluid according to claim 1, wherein the means for conveying and nebulizing of the fluid are purely mechanical. 4. The nebulizer for a fluid according to claim 1, wherein the second coding is located on an end of the container. 5. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the first and second codings are constructed so that when the codings do not match at least the container is prevented from being fuily inserted to an extent precluding discharging of the contents of the container by a pressure generator of the nebulizer body. 6. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the first coding is arranged on or in a region of an opening for insertion of the container into nebulizer. 7. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the first coding is arranged on or in a region of a holder of the nebulizer for the container. 8. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the second coding corresponds to one of the fluid in the container, a concentration of active substance in the fluid or an amount of fluid in the container. 9. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the second coding is mounted on the container in frictional or interlocking engagement. 10. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the second coding is arranged on a head of the container. 11. The nebulizer according to claim 10, wherein the container comprises, adjacent to the head, a radial indentation in which the second coding engages for fixing to the container. 12. The nebulizer according to claim 1, wherein the second coding is mounted on a cylindrical casing of the container. 13. The nebulizer according to claim 4, wherein the second coding is arranged on a base of the container. 14. The nebulizer according to claim 13, wherein the container has a radially widened end portion which is surrounded by the second coding for fixing to the container. 15. A nebulizer for a fluid, comprising: a nebulizer body comprised of a pair of axially separable body parts, means for conveying and nebulizing of the fluid, and a replaceable container of the fluid for use in the nebulizer body, the container being axially insertable and removable from within said body parts when the body parts are separated, wherein a first coding is provided in one the nebulizer body parts and a second coding is provided on an end of the container, said first and second codings being engageable by linear relative movement therebetween, wherein the first and second codings cooperate with each other on axial insertion of the container into the body parts in a manner such that only a container with the correct second coding is usable with the container body, said body parts being rejoinable with the container in an operable position only when the shape and size of the first coding matches the shape and size of the second coding. 16. The nebulizer for a fluid according to claim 15, wherein said codings are one of a plurality of different codings of varying axial length. 17. The nebulizer according to claim 15, wherein the first coding is arranged on or in a region of an opening for insertion of the container into nebulizer. 18. The nebulizer according to claim 15, wherein the first coding is arranged on or in a region of a holder of the nebulizer for the container. 19. The nebulizer according to claim 15, wherein the second coding corresponds to one of the fluid in the container, a concentration of active substance in the fluid or an amount of fluid in the container. 20. The nebulizer according to claim 15, wherein the second coding is arranged on a head of the container and wherein the container comprises, adjacent to the head, a radial indentation in which the second coding engages for fixing to the container.
