Patent ID: 7770761

Claim:
Dosage-dispensing device for substances in powder- or paste form with a supply container and with a dosage-dispensing head that is connected or connectable to the supply container, said dosage-dispensing head comprising a housing with an outlet orifice of circular cross-section and a delivery- and closure element, wherein the outlet orifice and the delivery- and closure element are arranged on the central lengthwise axis of the dosage-dispensing head, and the delivery- and closure element is rotatable about the central lengthwise axis in relation to the housing and translatable along the central lengthwise axis so that the delivery- and closure element is moveable at least partially out of, as well as into, the outlet orifice, wherein the delivery- and closure element in its basic configuration is of a cylindrical shape defining a cylindrical surface and has a cylindrical closure portion that serves to close off the outlet orifice and, adjacent to the closure portion, a delivery portion that serves to deliver the substance to be dispensed, wherein when the dosage-dispensing device is in its operating state, the delivery portion is located in the lower part of the delivery- and closure element, said lower part having an end surface that is inclined at an oblique angle relative to a plane that extends orthogonal to the central lengthwise axis, wherein said end surface at its lowest point forms a tip that coincides with a point of the cylindrical surface, and the topmost point likewise coincides with a point of the cylindrical surface.
