Abstract
Metering aerosol dispensing device comprising an aerosol container (23); a nozzle (31, 32) that is arranged in a nozzle body (30), whereby the aerosol is dispensed via said nozzle when the aerosol container (23) is pushed against the body (30) of the nozzle once the metering aerosol dispensing device is actuated; a meter (1, 2, 4) that counts the number of times that the metering aerosol dispensing device is actuated; and an actuating device (10) that enables the meter (1, 2, 3, 4) to move forward when the metering aerosol dispensing device is actuated. The invention is characterized in that the actuating device (10) is designed and arranged in the metering aerosol dispensing device in such a way that the body (30) of the nozzle is accomodated in the interior of the actuating device (10) and the nozzle (31) is released in order to produce aerosol in an unrestricted manner.
