Claim 19:
20. A method of coupling an annular sensed element to a dose setting component of a medication delivery device, said dose setting component having a proximal surface, comprising:
providing a carrier and an annular sensed element, the carrier including a tubular body sized to fit within the annular sensed element, a proximal lip extending radially beyond the tubular body, and a plurality of coupling legs extending distally from said tubular body away from the proximal lip;
coupling the annular sensed element over the tubular body of said carrier and in contact underneath the proximal lip; and
coupling the carrier with the annular sensed element to the dose setting component for sandwiching the annular sensed element between the proximal lip and the proximal surface of the dose setting component, where the coupling legs of the carrier is engaged with the dose setting component to rotationally lock the carrier with the annular sensed element to the dose setting component.
