Abstract: A counting mechanism (100) for a dispenser comprising: a first and a second housing part (110, 120) that are rotatable relative to each other; and a counting ring (130) disposed between the housing parts. The first housing part has a protrusion (111) which abuts the counting ring, holding a portion of the counting ring in contact with the second housing part. The relative rotation of the housing parts causes the protrusion to slide against the surface of the counting ring to drive a rolling movement of the counting ring around the circumference of the second housing part, such that a predefined rotation of the housing parts produces an incremental rotational displacement between the counting ring and second housing part to record a count. The counting mechanism provides a large gear reduction ratio in a compact form which is straightforward to manufacture and provides an accurate and reliable record of counts.

Abstract: An compression therapy device which improves on available products by combining the efficacy of bulky, active pneumatic devices with a convenience approaching that of a passive non-pneumatic device. This is achieved by using an air cell (6) with a flexible inner and a rigid outer wall (10) which enables therapeutic pressures to be achieved at lower overall inflation volume. This in turn allows miniature low power, silent pump (3) to be used enabling the device to be worn unobtrusively under clothing. Such a device is targeted at users with long term chronic venous conditions, variants of oedema, recovering from surgery, requiring travel comfort, improved leg circulation or accelerated recovery from exercise or injury.
