A counter including a body (460), and first and second rotary counter elements (410, 420) assembled in the body (460). The first counter element (410) co-operating with an actuator member (1430) on each actuation and including an interconnection for interconnecting with the second counter element (420). The interconnection is actuated on every tenth actuation. The first counter element (410) is provided with a first peripheral edge portion (412) including counter indices and a first set of teeth. The second counter element (420) is provided with a second peripheral edge portion (422) including counter indices and with a third set of teeth. The peripheral edge portions (412, 422) are radially coplanar and have a different axis. The counter elements (410, 420) have offset and parallel axes of rotation offset and are urged into contact with each other at a point that is situated at a common counter and/or display zone.
A dose counter for counting the number of doses of fluid or powder that have been dispensed or that remain to be dispensed from a fluid dispenser device, said counter including a base body (460), with first and second rotary counter elements (410, 420) assembled in said base body (460), said first rotary counter element (410) co-operating with an actuator member (1430) that is adapted to cause said first rotary counter element (410) to turn each time said actuator member (1430) is actuated, said first counter element (410) including interconnection means (418, 419) for interconnecting with said second counter element (420), said interconnection means being actuated on every tenth actuation of said actuator member (1430) so as to cause said second counter element (420) to turn;
