Patent ID: 8172128

Claim:
Improved counter device comprising a hollow casing on the inside of which a mechanical type of numerator assembly is housed with an activation device for the numerator assembly, wherein said activation device has a rod that is axially moveable in a straight line that has a protrusion that is perpendicular to the rod that is coupled in an elongated hole located in a moving element jointed in a fixed point that can move at an angle wherein the casing of the counter device has a cover from which a tab protrudes towards the inside of the casing for the end of the elastic spring to rest on, and wherein the cover has a plurality of tabs with their ends in the shape of a barb designed to fit into a plurality of corresponding grooves arranged on the inner side walls of the casing; said moveable element being coupled at one end to a toothed wheel connected to the hub of the numerator assembly itself, in such a way that when the rod moves, when receives a impulsion, to record a numeric count brought about by the slide of the protrusion along the mentioned elongated hole in turn bringing about the angular sliding of the moveable element that activates the toothed wheel of the numerator assembly; and on which the longitudinal axis of the counter device compared to the longitudinal axis of the rod are adjacent and parallel to each other.
