1. A fluid reservoir assembly, comprising:

  • a housing including a plurality of stops;

    a stick insertable and removable from the housing along a path;

    a support formed separately from the housing and received within the housing, wherein one of the support and the housing includes an inward projection and the other of the support and the housing includes a recess complementary to the projection, the projection being received in the recess;

    a wiper received within the housing and supported by the support, the wiper resiliently biased toward the path; and

    an actuator rotatably connected to the housing and configured to rotate relative to the housing between a first position and a second position without moving along the path, the actuator including a radially-outward projection, rotation of the actuator being limited by the plurality of stops, wherein rotation of the actuator from the first position to the second position causes the wiper to move away from the path without causing rotation of the wiper and the support relative to the housing, and wherein the actuator is formed separately from the housing and the support.
