Claim:
1. A discharge device comprising: a dispenser for discharging a pharmaceutical and/or cosmetical liquid, the dispenser including a liquid reservoir and an outlet opening through which the liquid can be discharged into a surrounding atmosphere; and a protective cap removably connected to the dispenser, the protective cap comprising an inner cap and an outer cap; wherein the inner cap has at least one ventilation opening for communication between an interior of the protective cap and an external environment; wherein, before a first use, the outer cap is mounted on the inner cap in a first position in which the inner cap and the outer cap are sealingly in contact with each other and the at least one ventilation opening is separated in an airtight and germproof manner from the external environment; wherein the outer cap is movable relative to the inner cap from the first position to at least a second position in which the inner cap and the outer cap are not sealingly in contact with each other and the at least one ventilation opening communicates with the external environment in an airtight and germproof manner; wherein the dispenser further comprises an outlet channel which connects the liquid reservoir to the outlet opening, and an outlet valve which opens depending on pressure or can be manually actuated and which is arranged in the outlet channel and, in a closed state, closes the outlet channel; wherein the inner cap covers the outlet opening when the protective cap is connected to the dispenser to prevent the liquid in the dispenser from being discharged into the surrounding atmosphere; wherein the inner cap does not cover the outlet opening when the protective cap is not connected to the dispenser to thereby allow the liquid in the dispenser to be discharged into the surrounding atmosphere; and wherein at least one of the inner cap and the outer cap has at least one resilient blocking element that in a blocking position directly counteracts axial movement of the outer cap relative to the inner cap from the second position towards the first position.
