wherein the audible indicator comprises at least one indicator element and at least one support element,
wherein the at least one indicator element is configured to be supported by the at least one support element in a supported state,
wherein in a non-supported state, the at least one indicator element is configured to be in a deformed state relative to a shape of the at least one indicator element in the supported state due to a release of the at least one support element from the at least one indicator element by a movement of the plunger,
wherein the at least one support element comprises a projection for supporting the at least one indicator element,
wherein the projection of the at least one support element projects radially outwards from a remainder of the at least one support element,
