Dose indicator for a fluid dispenser device

A fluid dispenser device has a reservoir, a pump, a dispensing outlet, an actuator, and a removable cap. The actuator is integrally formed with the dispensing outlet in at least one embodiment. The cap has detents that project from the cap. The actuator is blocked from actuating by a blocking flange that is integrally connected with the dispensing outlet. The detents from the cap bend the blocking flange so that the reservoir can not move in relation to the dispensing outlet when the cap is in a closed position. When the cap is removed, the detents no longer bend the blocking flange, and the actuator can then move the reservoir in relation to the dispensing outlet and affect dispensation. In at least one embodiment the actuator is not axially aligned with the dispensing outlet.

The dose indicator comprises amplification means which are designed to amplify the movement of the transmission element () with each actuation, such that the movement of the actuation member () is greater than the movement of the transmission element ().

The invention relates to a dose indicator (A) which is intended for a fluid product dispensing device (B). The inventive indicator consists of at least one rotary counting means () which can move in rotation and which comprises indicator means (), said indicator means indicating the number of doses that have been distributed or that remain to be distributed. Moreover, said at least one counting means is actuated by an actuation member () which is in turn actuated by a transmission element () that is designed to co-operate with a part () of the dispensing device (B) each time the latter is actuated. The dose indicator further comprises adjustment means () which are disposed between the transmission element () and the aforementioned part () of the dispensing device (B) and which can be moved and/or deformed, such that, during the assembly of the dispensing device (B), the distance at rest between the transmission element () and said part () of the dispensing device (B) can be precisely pre-determined.

A dose indicator for a fluid dispenser, the dose indicator includes at a minimum a ledge that actuates the dose indicator as the fluid dispenser device begins an actuation stroke that in turn actuates the first one of two flexible elements of the dose indicator that begins the actuation of a rotary counting wheel at the start of the actuation stroke of the fluid dispenser device, and the second less flexible element continues the actuation of the rotary counting wheel after the actuation stroke of the fluid dispenser device is completed. In some embodiments, the rotary counting wheel interacts with a display window with a groove and pin system to both rotate and translate the display window.

An indicator for a powder or fluid dispenser device, the indicator including an indicator system and said indicator system comprising: a cover () provided with a viewing window (); a first indicator element () that turns about an axis, said first indicator element () including first indicator means (); a second indicator element () that turns about an axis, said second indicator element () including second indicator means (); and an interconnection element () that interconnects said first and second indicator elements (), in such a manner that it is the indicator means () of one of said two indicator elements () that are visible initially in said viewing window () up to a predetermined number of actuations, after which it is the indicator means () of the other of said two indicator elements () that become visible in the viewing window.

Indicator for a powder or fluid dispenser device

A dose indicator for a fluid dispenser device, said indicator comprising: a body (); an actuator () that is mounted to turn relative to said body () about a first axis, and including drive means (); and a cylindrical indicator element () that is mounted to turn relative to said body () about a second axis and including a set of teeth () that co-operate with said drive means () of said actuator () so as to turn each time the dispenser device is actuated, said indicator element () further including numeric and/or symbolic indicator means () so as to indicate to the user the number of doses that have been dispensed or that remain to be dispensed from said dispenser device; said actuator () co-operating with actuator means () secured to said body (), said actuator means () being displaced in translation each time the dispenser device is actuated, and co-operating with said actuator () so as to transform the translation of said actuator means () into said actuator () turning.

The present invention relates to a dose indicator (A) for a fluid dispenser device (B), the indicator indicating the number of doses dispensed or the number of doses still to be dispensed. The indicator is particularly adapted to aerosols including metering valves, and presents dimensions that are very small and independent of the number of doses to be indicated.
