Patent ID: 7882982

Claim:
An indicator for a powder or fluid dispenser device, said indicator comprising an actuator element ( 1 ) that is axially displaceable between a rest position and an actuated position, a rotary counter element ( 5 ), and a drive element ( 6 ), said drive element ( 6 ) transforming an axial displacement of said actuator element into a rotary displacement of said counter element ( 5 ), said counter element ( 5 ) including a set of teeth ( 9 ) that co-operate with a resilient mechanism ( 7 , 8 ) of said drive element ( 6 ), said resilient mechanism ( 7 , 8 ) comprises at least two flexible tabs ( 7 , 8 ), with at least a first flexible tab ( 7 ) co-operating with said set of teeth ( 9 ) of the counter element ( 5 ), so as to cause said counter element ( 5 ) to turn in a counting direction while the actuator element ( 1 ) is being displaced from the rest position towards the actuated position, and at least a second flexible tab ( 8 ) co-operating with said set of teeth ( 9 ) of the counter element ( 5 ), so as to cause said counter element to turn in the same counting direction while the actuator element ( 1 ) is returning from its actuated position to its rest position; and the axis of rotation of said counter element is perpendicular to the displacement axis of said actuator element.
