Abstract

The chamber (1) of the metering apparatus is defined by the inside wall surface of a cylinder (3), by a displaceable piston (4), and by a cylinder end portion (5) which is displaceable relative to the cylinder (3). Ducts (2a, 2b) are arranged in the cylinder end portion (5) in such a way that they can be selectively communicated with the chamber (1) or closed off by the end face (7) of the cylinder (3) In that way a part of the chamber wall acts directly as a shut-off member so that no residual volumes remain, which cannot be ejected by the piston (4).
