Abstract

A resettable mechanical counter having a plurality of number wheels and transfer pinions is mounted in a molded plastic housing in which are integrally formed fixed bosses that index the transfer pinions when the number wheels are reset. The transfer pinions are axially located by means of slots formed in the housing and the number wheels are axially located relative to the reset lever mechanism which itself is axially located relative to the housing to thus position the transfer pinions relative to the number wheels.
