Apparatus comprising a housing () defining a portion () for receiving in use a dose-dispensing container (), the housing containing a dose counter comprising an annular counter member () and a driving member (), the driving member comprising a planar ring portion () and first and second sets of flexible teeth () depending from opposite sides of the planar ring portion, the first set of dependant fexible teeth () engaging a first series of teeth () formed on the annular counter member, wherein on movement of the received dose-dispensing container towards the driving member the first and second sets of dependant flexible teeth are caused to flex towards the plane of the ring portion to thereby incrementally rotate the annular counter member in a first direction relative to the housing.

Dosage counting devices

Apparatus comprising a housing () defining a () portion for receiving in use a dose-dispensing container (), the housing containing a dose counter comprising at least one annular counter member (), a helix-like coil () and transmission means () for operatively connecting the helix-like coil and the at least one annular counter member, wherein movement of the received dose-dispensing container acts to compress the helix-like coil to thereby rotate the transmission means and the at least one annular counter member.

Apparatus comprising a housing () defining a portion () for receiving in use a dose-dispensing container (), the housing containing a dose counter comprising at least one annular counter member () and a helix-like coil (), wherein one or more projections () are provided on the helix-like coil for operatively connecting the helix-like coil and the at least one annular counter member, wherein movement of the received dose-dispensing container acts to compress the helix-like coil to thereby rotate the at least one annular counter member.
