An indicating device suitable for indicating the number of metered dosages that have been dispensed from or remain in a container including a base member (40), a cap member (20) moveably connected to the base member (40), an indicator member (60) rotatably mounted to one of the cap member (20) and base member (40) and a drive member (86). The indicator member (60) comprises a first stop member (3004), and the drive member (86) comprises a second stop member (3002). The first stop member (3004) engages the second stop member (3002) as the indicator member (60) is moved to the final position. The engagement between the first and second stop members (3004, 3002) prevents the drive member (86) from being rotated about the second axis. In another preferred embodiment, an inhalation device for dispensing metered dosages of medicaments from a container includes a container having a predetermined number of metered doses and the indicating device. A method for indicating the number of metered dosages of medicaments dispensed from or remaining in the container is also provided.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'indication conçu pour indiquer le nombre de doses ayant été distribuées à partir d'un contenant ou restant dans un contenant. Ce dispositif comprend un élément de base (40), un élément de capuchon (20) relié de manière amovible à l'élément de base (40), un élément indicateur (60) monté de manière rotative sur l'élément de capuchon (20) ou sur l'élément de base (40), et un élément d'entraînement (86). L'élément indicateur (60) comprend un premier élément d'arrêt (3004), et l'élément d'entraînement (86) comprend un second élément d'arrêt (3002). Le premier élément d'arrêt (3004) s'emboîte dans le second élément d'arrêt (3002), alors que l'élément indicateur (60) se déplace vers la position finale. L'emboîtement du premier élément d'arrêt (3004) et du second élément d'arrêt (3002) empêche que l'élément d'entraînement (86) ne se mette en rotation autour du second axe. Dans un autre mode de réalisation préféré, un dispositif d'inhalation permet de distribuer des doses de médicaments à partir d'un contenant. Ce dispositif comprend un contenant présentant un nombre prédéterminé de doses, et le dispositif d'indication. L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'indiquer le nombre de doses de médicaments distribués à partir de ce contenant ou restant dans ce contenant.
