Abstract
The invention relates to an adapter () for a manually operated dispensing device () for a fluid that is/can be pressurized in a container. The dispensing device includes a housing () having a passage channel (). A tubular adapter housing () connects the uptake tube () and the channel () of the housing () of the dispensing device (). The adapter housing () has a connecting sleeve () for connection to the connecting nipple of the housing () and an uptake tube sleeve () for connection to the uptake tube (). There are several inlets () for the fluid in the upside down position of the dispensing device. The adapter housing () defines at least one section of the inlets. An inlet valve () is defined within the adapter housing () for releasing the inlets substantially simultaneously when a pressure acts on the fluid in the container in the substantially upside down position of the container. A shut-off valve () is positioned inside a large diameter valve chamber () of the adapter housing (), in such a way that the valve () can be freely displaced axially between two end positions.
