  • a return spring is in turn for returning the piston 62 68 provided, this time within the liquid space of the metering container 11 '' 'is arranged and on the container bottom 64 supported on the one hand and on the piston 62 on the other and the piston 62 when the pressure in the gas supply line 69 is relieved pushes back into the starting position.
  • Each dispensing container 1 '' 'is independent of it Coding can be connected to the compressed air discharge valve 79.
  • the Dispenser 1 '' ' can be supplied with compressed air via this valve be filled when the gas pressure in the dispensing container 1 '' ', for example as a result of incorrect operation without the liquid being dispensed. Also one only filling an empty dispenser 1 '' ' with compressed air, if desired, is possible via this valve.

  • the check valve 73 becomes like the check valve 57 of the embodiment Fig. 4 when returning the piston to its initial position due to the relatively reduced pressure due to suction opened so that liquid from the reservoir can flow. Will the piston 62 on its back with Pressurized gas is applied, then the check valve prevents a backflow of liquid to be added.
  • the suction end of the liquid suction line is also with a float valve 74 which is an intake of air prevented from the emptied reservoir 13 '' '.

  • This Main switch 77 is the further use of the filling device prevented when the reservoir 13 '' 'is empty. After removing the last output container 1 '' 'it will System via actuator 17 '' 'and multi-valve 15' '' depressurized, after which the main switch is not switched off 77 no further compressed gas can get into the system.
  • the float valve 74 can be a piston Have float in a vertical cylindrical Sleeve is guided and in its upper stop position Suction opening for the liquid suction line releases and at the same time the horizontal passage between the access line 75 and outlet line 76 closes.
  • the liquid level comes 61 in the area of the float valve 74, then the float sinks, taking the suction opening of the liquid suction line 71 closed and at the same time the passage between lines 75 and 76 is opened.
  • the Lid 72 of the liquid storage container 13 '' ' is again preferably provided with a coding that with the Opening of the container 13 '' interacts so that incorrect operation as a result of incorrect container content and incorrect container size excluded are.
