Abstract
A device () for the dosed discharge of a powder-form medium, in particular ceramic powder for dental purposes, including a storage container () with a first outlet (), as well as a slider () with a receptacle () for a quantity of medium to be dosed, which can be selectively aligned with a first outlet or a second outlet (), through which the medium can be discharged. In order to achieve reproducible discharge of a defined quantity of free-flowing medium in an uncomplicated design, and since there is no requirement for re-usability after emptying the storage container, the invention proposes that the slider () be connected to at least one spring element (), which admits a force upon the slider to align the receptacle () with the first receptacle (), and that the receptacle can be secured by a lock element () in a position aligned with the second outlet ().
