Abstract

A dispenser for handling media includes a base unit, a discharge actuator, a medium outlet, and a medium reservoir. The discharge actuator actuates the discharge of the medium, and the discharge actuator is convertable over an actuating stroke into varying actuating positions. The actuating positions include an initial rest position and an actuated end position. The medium outlet is for expelling the medium. The medium reservoir defines a measured content of medium to be discharged upon a single actuating stroke, and the medium reservoir includes an oblong hollow needle member for caching the medium to be discharged out of the medium outlet.
