The present invention concerns a multi-dosing detergent delivery device including a status indicator for providing an external indication of the internal status of the device. The indicator comprises a first element (140) internal to a main housing part (100) of the device and whose position is directly related to the status of the device and a second element (120) external of the main housing. The second element (120) and the first element (140) are linked together by means of magnetic attraction. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first element (140) comprises a magnet and the second element (120) comprises a ferro-magnetic sphere, held within a transparent dome (110). The sphere (120) and dome (110) are mounted to the exterior of a main housing of the device and form an isolated sub-housing, whilst the magnet (140) is provided internally. Motion of the magnet (140) is translated to motion of the sphere (120) and a static scale adjacent to the path of movement of the sphere indicates the device status.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de distribution de détergent à multiples dosages comprenant un indicateur d'état afin de fournir une indication externe de l'état interne du dispositif. L'indicateur comprend un premier élément (140) interne à une partie de boîtier principal (100) du dispositif et dont la position est directement liée à l'état du dispositif et un second élément (120) externe au boîtier principal. Le second élément (120) et le premier élément (140) sont liés ensemble au moyen d'une attraction magnétique. Dans un mode de réalisation privilégié de l'invention, le premier élément (140) comprend un aimant et le second élément (120) comprend une sphère ferromagnétique, contenue dans un dôme transparent (110). La sphère (120) et le dôme (110) sont montés à l'extérieur d'un boîtier principal du dispositif et forment un sous-boîtier isolé, tandis que l'aimant (140) est disposé à l'intérieur. Le mouvement de l'aimant (140) est traduit en un mouvement de la sphère (120) et une échelle statique adjacente au trajet de mouvement de la sphère indique l'état du dispositif.
