Abstract:
The invention relates to a dose indicator (A) which is intended for a fluid product dispensing device (B). The inventive indicator consists of at least one rotary counting means (10) which can move in rotation and which comprises indicator means (15), said indicator means indicating the number of doses that have been distributed or that remain to be distributed. Moreover, said at least one counting means is actuated by an actuation member (35) which is in turn actuated by a transmission element (34) that is designed to co-operate with a part (54) of the dispensing device (B) each time the latter is actuated. The dose indicator further comprises adjustment means (134) which are disposed between the transmission element (34) and the aforementioned part (54) of the dispensing device (B) and which can be moved and/or deformed, such that, during the assembly of the dispensing device (B), the distance at rest between the transmission element (34) and said part (54) of the dispensing device (B) can be precisely pre-determined.
