An indicator for a dispenser device, having an actuator element (1) displaceable between a rest position and an actuated position, a rotary counter element (5), and a drive element (6) that transforms an axial displacement of the actuator element into a rotary displacement of the counter element (5). The counter element (5) including a set of teeth (9) that co-operate with a resilient mechanism (7, 8) of the drive element (6). The resilient mechanism (7, 8) having two flexible tabs (7, 8), a first flexible tab (7) co-operating with the teeth (9) causing the counter element (5) to turn in a counting direction while the actuator element (1) is displaced towards its actuated position, and a second flexible tab (8) co-operating with the teeth (9) causing the counter element to turn in the same counting direction while the actuator element (1) returns to its rest position.
An indicator for a powder or fluid dispenser device, said indicator comprising an actuator element (1) that is axially displaceable between a rest position and an actuated position, a rotary counter element (5), and a drive element (6), said drive element (6) transforming an axial displacement of said actuator element into a rotary displacement of said counter element (5), said counter element (5) including a set of teeth (9) that co-operate with a resilient mechanism (7, 8) of said drive element (6), said resilient mechanism (7, 8) comprises at least two flexible tabs (7, 8), with at least a first flexible tab (7) co-operating with said set of teeth (9) of the counter element (5), so as to cause said counter element (5) to turn in a counting direction while the actuator element (1) is being displaced from the rest position towards the actuated position, and at least a second flexible tab (8) co-operating with said set of teeth (9) of the counter element (5), so as to cause said counter element to turn in the same counting direction while the actuator element (1) is returning from its actuated position to its rest position;
