CA 2172537

A device to indicate the application of a non-rotative force, having particular utility in recording the dispensing of a push-down activated aerosol medication dispenser. A non-rotative force on an outer cover (20) is translated into a rotation of an indicator wheel (50) relative to the outer cover by a set of flexible pawls (80) engaged with a set of teeth (58). The pawls depress and thereby extend circumferentially when the applied force flexes them to effect a rotation of the teeth. Suitable means indicate the relative rotation of the teeth such as a window (26) in the outer cover through which are visible indicia on the indicator wheel. The device may also include means to resist its operation by a child.

Dispositif indiquant le nombre de fois où l'on exerce une pression axiale et s'avérant particulièrement utile pour enregistrer les utilisations successives d'un distributeur d'aérosols médicaux actionné par pression. Une force non rotative exercée sur le couvercle (20) est transformée en mouvement rotatif d'une roue témoin (50) par rapport au couvercle par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de cliquets souples (80) en prise avec un jeu de dents (58). Les cliquets s'abaissent et ainsi s'étendent circonférentiellement lorsque l'effort appliqué les fait fléchir pour effectuer une rotation des dents. Des moyens adéquats, tels qu'une fenêtre (26) pratiquée dans le couvercle et à travers laquelle se voient des repères marqués sur la roue, indiquent la position relative des dents par rapport au couvercle. Le dispositif peut également comprendre des moyens empêchant les enfants de s'en servir.
