Claim:
1. A device for dosed dispensing of a fluid medium, comprising: a generally tubular housing defining a longitudinal axis, said housing having a front end and including a storage chamber for accommodating the fluid medium, and a spring exerting a force, a tip being provided at said front end, in which tip there is provided an outlet opening for the fluid medium, a valve element arranged in said front end at said outlet opening in a tiltable manner, said valve element closing said outlet opening under the force of said spring, said valve element being arranged such that it tilts in a transverse direction relative to said longitudinal axis to at least partially open the outlet opening in response to radial pressure being applied from outside onto said front end of said housing, and wherein the housing comprises at its front end a generally flattened gripping region, which gripping region is made of a material that deforms elastically under radial pressure, and which gripping region is located at an axial location of said housing, said valve element further having a rear end that is arranged at approximately the same axial location as the gripping region, such that the deformation of said gripping region acts directly on said valve element causing the rear end of said valve element to tilt in the transverse direction.
