Abstract
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.
