Abstract
A head () is associated with a device () for dispensing measured dosages of a free-flowing material. The head has housing () with an interior space () with a fill opening () and a discharge orifice (). A shutter bolt () is arranged in the housing to open and close the discharge orifice () and to loosen and advance the material. The head () has a dispensing position, in which the shutter bolt is oriented substantially vertically and a fill position. In the dispensing position, the material is dispensed through the discharge orifice (). In the fill position, material is filled through the fill opening (), which is positioned laterally on the housing when the head is in the dispensing position. A rest surface () is diametrically opposite the fill opening, so that the head lies on its rest surface in the fill position.
