Claims (22)

  1. Abgabevorrichtung, die angepasst ist, wenigstens ein Fluid abzugeben, umfassend:
    - Einschließungsmittel, die angepasst sind, das Fluid zu enthalten, wobei die Einschließungsmittel einen Behälter umfassen, der einen Raum zum Enthalten des Fluids aufweist;
    - Pumpmittel, die angepasst sind, betätigt zu werden, um eine gegebene Menge Fluid während eines Saugschritts aus den Einschließungsmitteln zu saugen, und die angepasst sind, die gegebene Menge Fluid während eines Abgabeschritts außerhalb der Vorrichtung abzugeben;
    - Betätigungsmittel, die angepasst sind, von einem Benutzer gehandhabt bzw. bedient zu werden, um die Pumpmittel zu betätigen;
    wobei der Raum des Behälters mit einem Kompensationsrohr (100) in Kommunikation bzw. Verbindung ist, das einen sich verengenden Abschnitt (102) umfasst, der direkt mit dem Raum in Kommunikation bzw. Verbindung ist und einen kronenförmigen Durchgangsbereich aufweist, der durch eine Innenwand und eine Außenwand, die parallel zueinander sind, begrenzt ist, und wobei die Außenwand eine axiale Erstreckung aufweist, die größer ist als die Dicke der Außenwand;
    wobei die Abgabevorrichtung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Kompensationsrohr (100) ferner einen Expansionsabschnitt (104) umfasst, der auf den sich verengenden Abschnitt (102) folgt.
  2. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, wobei der Expansionsabschnitt (104) eine nominale Abmessung aufweist, die größer ist als der Durchmesser des sich verengenden Abschnitts (102) des Rohrs (100).
