摘要：
A method for manufacturing a series of inhalers (12) each having a dose increment counter (36) of gradual increment adjusted thereto which includes the steps of: a) manufacturing a series of dose counters (36) of gradual increase for inhalers (12), where each dose counter (36) of the series comprises a gradual increment counting system having a main body, an actuator (80) arranged to be driven in response to the movement of the cartridge (20) and to driving a progressive exit member in response to the movement of the cartridge (20), where the progressive exit member comprises a ratchet wheel (94) having a plurality of teeth (92) circumferentially spaced to be applied to the actuator (80) and where The dose counter further comprises a counting nail (138) arranged to be applied to the progressive output member, and each dose counter (36) has a starting position in which the actuator (80) has not been or pushed down during the tightening of the cartridge (20), a replacement position in which the counting nail (138) is applied to the rear surface (140) of a tooth (92) of the ratchet wheel (94) and the actuator (80) has been applied to another of the teeth (92) of the ratchet wheel (94) so that any further tightening of the actuator (80) will rotate the ratchet wheel (94), a firing position of the cartridge in which the actuator (80) is in a position lower than the replacement position and the counting nail (138) is separated from the rear surface (140) of the tooth (92) of the ratchet wheel (94) applied in the reset position a dose counting position in which the actuator (80) has rotated the ratchet wheel (94) in the circumferential angular distance between two teeth (92), so that the nail (138) counting ends running along the front surface (142) of one of the teeth (92) and resiliently jumps over the tooth (92) to be applied to the rear surface (140) of the next tooth (92), and a final position in which the actuator (80) has been additionally pressed by the cartridge (
