- other personal care products cleaning products, o. The like.
- suspensions and fluids, in particular with gas phases comprises.
- other liquids such as air freshener, and in particular also technical fluids and fluids, such as rust remover o. The like., Are used.
- cosmetic liquid is often referred to below.
- the WO 2004/073871 A2 discloses a dispenser with multiple pumping chambers. Each pumping chamber is limited by an elastically deformable pumping part. These pumping parts can be deformed simultaneously by a common actuating element, in order to simultaneously be able to dispense different liquids via a likewise common outlet valve.
- the GB 2 155 435 A relates to a wall-mounted soap dispenser for liquid soap.
- the dispenser has an openable housing that accommodates a removable bailer.
- a pump with a single-outlet outlet valve is disposed on the housing and may have a dome-shaped pumping section.
