A dry powder inhaler including a main body, a plurality of individual reservoirs, such as blisters, each containing a single dose of powder, and disposed one behind another on a flexible strip, and an opening mechanism provided for opening an individual reservoir each time the device is actuated. The device includes first a displacement mechanism adapted to displace an individual reservoir to face the opening mechanism before and/or after each actuation, and a second displacement mechanism adapted to displace an individual reservoir against the opening mechanism on each actuation. The first displacement mechanism having an indexer wheel provided with a recess that receives an individual reservoir, the recess defined by a bottom wall and an inner side wall of said indexer wheel, and by an outer side wall formed on a separate adjustment element assembled on the indexer wheel.

Dry powder inhalator

A counter including a body (), and first and second rotary counter elements () assembled in the body (). The first counter element () co-operating with an actuator member () on each actuation and including an interconnection for interconnecting with the second counter element (). The interconnection is actuated on every tenth actuation. The first counter element () is provided with a first peripheral edge portion () including counter indices and a first set of teeth. The second counter element () is provided with a second peripheral edge portion () including counter indices and with a third set of teeth. The peripheral edge portions () are radially coplanar and have a different axis. The counter elements () have offset and parallel axes of rotation offset and are urged into contact with each other at a point that is situated at a common counter and/or display zone.

Meter for fluid or powdery product dispensing device

A dose counter () for counting the number of doses of fluid or powder that have been dispensed or that remain to be dispensed from a fluid dispenser device (), said counter including a first rotary counter element forming a units wheel, and a second rotary counter element forming a tens wheel, said first and second counter elements co-operating with each other to define and to display, in a viewing window (), said number of doses, said first counter element co-operating with an actuator member that is adapted to cause said first counter element to turn each time said actuator member is actuated, said counter including a base body that incorporates a pivot pin for said first and second counter elements and an opening, said counter possibly being pre-assembled in said base body so as to form a pre-assembled counter unit.

Meter for a device for distributing a fluid or powder product

A dose counter for a fluid dispenser device, said counter including a first rotary counter element () forming a units wheel, and a second rotary counter element () forming a tens wheel, said first counter element () co-operating with an actuator member () that is adapted to cause said first counter element () to turn each time said actuator member () is actuated, said first rotary counter element () including means () that are adapted to cause said second counter element () to turn on every tenth actuation of said actuator member (), said actuator member () including an opening that is mounted in rotary manner on said pivot pin (), a substantially rigid and substantially rectilinear tab () extending radially from said opening, said tab () co-operating with the first counter element () on each actuation, said tab () being extended on the other side of said pivot pin by a substantially rigid and substantially rectilinear portion, that is itself connected to an elastically-deformable portion () of shape that is curved and that passes, at least in part, around the pivot pin ().

Counter for a device for dispensing a fluid or powder product

A dose counter for counting the number of doses of fluid or powder that have been dispensed or that remain to be dispensed from a fluid dispenser device, said counter including a first rotary counter element () forming a units wheel, and a second rotary counter element () forming a tens wheel, said first and second counter elements co-operating with each other to define and to display, in a viewing window, said number of doses, said first counter element co-operating with an actuator member () that is adapted to cause said first counter element to turn each time said actuator member is actuated, said counter including an intermediate rotary element () that is adapted to cause said second counter element to turn on every tenth actuation of said actuator member, said first and second counter elements turning about a common first pivot pin (), and said intermediate element turning about a second pivot pin () that is offset and parallel to said first pivot pin.
