Abstract

A device dispenses dosages of a substance in powder- or paste form contained in a supply container, when a head (1) of the device is connected to the supply container. The head has a housing with an outlet opening (107) of circular cross-section and a delivery- and closure element (100). The outlet opening and the delivery- and closure element are arranged on a central lengthwise axis (15) of the head. The delivery- and closure element rotates relative to the housing about this axis and is arranged for translatory displacement relative to the housing along the axis. The delivery- and closure element is cylindrical in its fundamental contour shape. A closure portion (101) thereof closes off the outlet opening. A delivery portion (102) is adjacent to the closure portion and delivers substance that is to be dispensed. A shaft portion is adjacent to the delivery portion. A conveyor body (103) on the delivery portion conveys substance to the outlet opening.
