a base member adapted to be mounted to the container;
a cap member moveably connected to said base member, said cap member moveable relative to said base member along an axial path;
a first indicator member rotatably mounted to said cap member about an axis substantially parallel to the axial movement of said cap member relative to said base member;
a second indicator member rotatably mounted to one of said cap member and said base member about an axis substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis of said first indicator member.
66. The indicating device of claim 65 further comprising a drive member coaxially mounted with said second indicator member, said drive member selectively engaged with said first indicator member upon a predetermined number of axial movements of said cap member relative to said base member so as to rotate said first indicator member an incremental amount relative to said cap member.
67. The indicating device of claim 66 further comprising a ratchet wheel coaxially mounted with said drive member and said second indicator member, and a pawl connected to the other of said base member and said cap member, said pawl selectively engaged with said ratchet wheel upon each said axial movement of said cap member relative to said base member so as to rotate said ratchet wheel, said drive member and second indicator member an incremental amount.
68. The indicating device of claim 67 wherein said ratchet wheel, said drive member and said second indicator member are rotatably mounted to said cap member, and wherein said pawl is connected to said base member.
69. The indicating device of claim 65 further comprising a third indicator member rotatably mounted to said cap member about an axis substantially parallel to the axial movement of said cap member to said base member;
wherein said first indicator member selectively engages said third indicator member upon one complete rotation of said first indicator member so as to rotate said third indicator member an incremental amount.
70. The indicating device of claim 66 wherein said drive member is axially moveable with respect to said second indicator member.
71. The indicating device of claim 70 wherein said first indicator member comprises a plurality of teeth, said drive member selectively engaged with at least one of said teeth as said drive member rotates, and wherein at least one of said plurality of teeth has a cut-away portion, said drive member axially moveable between a disengaged position wherein said drive member is positioned in said cut-away portion of said at least one of said teeth so as to avoid engagement therewith and an engaged reset position wherein said drive member is positioned to selectively engage the portion of said at least one of said plurality of teeth that is not cut-away.
72. The indicating device of claim 66 wherein said second indicator member comprises dosage indicia visible to a user, said second indicator member rotating in response to each axial movement of said cap member relative to said base member.
73. The indicating device of claim 72 wherein said first indicator member comprises dosage indicia visible to the user, said dosage indicia of said first and second indicator members in combination indicating to the user the dosages remaining in or dispensed from the container.
74. The indicating device of claim 43 wherein said drive member is moveable between a disengaged position where said drive member is incapable of selectively engaging said indicator member and a reset position where said drive member is positioned to selectively engage said indicator member.
75. The indicating device of claim 43 wherein said reset member is axially moveable with respect to said drive member, said reset member moveable between a disengaged position wherein said reset member is disengaged from said drive member and an engaged position wherein said reset member is engaged with said drive member.
76. The indicating device of claim 75 wherein said reset member further comprises a drive portion adapted to engage a protrusion formed on said first indicator member when said reset member is positioned in said engaged position, wherein said reset member is operable to be rotated to cause said drive portion to engage said protrusion and thereby rotate said indicator member, wherein said drive member is operable to thereafter engage said indicator member.
77. An indicating device suitable for indicating the number of metered dosages that have been dispensed from or remain in a container, said indicating device comprising:
an indicating device housing adapted to be mounted to the container;
a dosage indicator member disposed in said housing, said dosage indicator member comprising dosage indicia visible to a user which indicate the number of dosages dispensed from or remaining in the container;

a usage indicator member disposed in said housing, said usage indicator member comprising usage indicia visible to the user which indicate the number of usage cycles completed by or remaining for said indicating device.
