Abstract
A method for displaying dosage indicia includes engaging a dispenser housing with a container in an engaged position, moving the container relative to the dispenser housing along a longitudinal axis while the container and the dispenser housing are in the engaged position, moving a valve between a closed position and an open position in response to moving the container relative to the dispenser housing and thereby dispensing metered dosages of substance when the valve is moved to the open position, moving the container relative to the dispenser housing to a disengaged position, moving an indicating portion with the container as the container is moved relative to the dispenser housing between the engaged and disengaged positions, and moving the indicator member relative to the container along the longitudinal axis while the container is in the engaged position.
