Claim:
A device for dosed discharge of a powder-form medium, comprising: a housing that provides a storage container for the medium and has a first outlet, a cover which extends from or is connected to the housing and includes a second outlet for discharging the medium, a slider which is moveable within the cover, and which is selectively alignable with the first or the second outlet, and includes a receptacle for a quantity of medium to be dosed, the slider interacting with at least one spring element, which continuously exerts a force upon the slider to align the receptacle with the first outlet, and a lock element for securing the slider in a position aligned with the second outlet, wherein the housing includes on a cover side a cap-like extension, which has a conical or truncated conical shape and surrounds the first outlet, a guide way for the slider extending from the extension, the guide way extending in the cover perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing, wherein the guide way comprises a plate-shape base element which has a flat shape on a side facing the slider, and a curved element which extends from and at least partially covers the base element and has an inner geometry that is matched to an outer geometry of the slider, and wherein the base element includes as second opening an opening that connects to the first outlet, and, offset relative to the second opening along a longitudinal direction of the base element, the curved element being passed by an opening as third opening, which connects to the second outlet.
