A device () is disclosed for dispensing a fluid supplied from an external fluid source. The device comprises a transducer () adapted to receive a fluid from the fluid source, and a collapsible linkage and trip link () coupling the transducer and the fluid source. The linkage has a collapsible joint inhibiting discharge of the fluid source when in a locked orientation. The device () further comprises a moveable member coupled to the linkage such that inhalation forces on the device cause the linkage to collapse thereby discharging the fluid from the fluid source. The device may further include a dose counter coupled to the fluid source for registering the amount of doses administered from the fluid source.

The present invention relates to a dose counter. Particularly, but not exclusively, the invention relates to a dose counter for use with a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI). The dose counter comprises a rotary counting element () and an actuator (). The actuator () is movable relative to the rotary counting element () and comprises a shaped part () which can move into and out of engagement with a complementary feature () of the rotary counting element () when the actuator () moves between first and second positions. When the shaped part () of the actuator () is engaged with the complementary feature () of the rotary counter element (), rotation of the rotary counter element () is resisted.
