USPTO Abstract
A container (3), a nebulizer (1) and a use of an indicator device (25) are proposed. The container contains a fluid (2) and an indicator device for counting and/or indicating a number of uses performed or still possible with the container. The indicator device comprises an indicator housing (31) which is inseparably connected with a housing (29) of the container opposite to an outlet or head (28) of the container. The indicator device may be fixedly mounted on the bottom of the container. The container is arranged and moveable axially within the nebulizer and can be detached by grabbing the indicator device. The nebulizer has a nebulizer housing (24) and a housing part (18) that can be detached from the nebulizer housing or opened for replacing the container together with the indicator device, which is separable from the nebulizer housing.
