Abstract
A manually operated product dispenser includes a user interface which operates via a linkage mechanism on a dispensing mechanism. The linkage mechanism transfers displacement from the user interface to the dispensing mechanism but incorporates resilient means permitting the user interface to be operated to the full extent permitted by the interface, but transmitting to the dispensing mechanism only as much of the operation of the interface required to permit the dispenser mechanism to dispense a predetermined amount of product.
