Patent ID: 8109414

Claim:
A discharge device for media comprising: a housing; an operating member manually movable relative to the housing and which for operating a discharge mechanism can be transferred from an unoperated starting position in an operating direction into an operated end position; a locking member displaceable between a locked position in which the locking member prevents displacement of the operating member into the end position and a release position in which the locking member allows the displacement of the operating member into the end position with respect to the housing; and a first spring which applies a force to the locking member in a direction of the release position of the locking member; the operating member and the locking member being so operatively coupled together in the release position such that at least one of a stroke movement of the operating member from the unoperated starting position into the operated end position and a following return stroke movement from the operated end position into the starting position is brought about by transmission mechanism bringing about a supply of energy into the first spring.
