  • the switchable nozzle arrangement according to the invention there is no risk that the sealing surfaces to which the sealing ring can be applied, are damaged by the locking projections, because the at least one locking projection has a greater or lesser radial distance from the axis of rotation of the liquid dispensing member than the sealing surfaces. This ensures that the at least one locking projection does not reach the sealing surfaces during rotation of the liquid dispensing part and thus can not damage it.
  • the switchable nozzle arrangement according to the invention is therefore characterized by a longer service life.
  • At least one latching projection has a greater radial distance from the axis of rotation of the liquid discharge part than the sealing surfaces. Based on the axis of rotation of the locking projection is thus positioned in the radial direction outside of the sealing surfaces.
  • At least one latching projection has a smaller radial distance from the axis of rotation of the fluid delivery part than the sealing surfaces. Also by such positioning of the locking projection damage to the sealing surfaces by the locking projection during rotation of the liquid dispensing part is reliably prevented.

  • the provision of the inclined surfaces facilitates the release of the locking connection between the piston and the liquid dispensing part.
  • both the at least one latching projection and the latching recesses each comprise at least one inclined surface.
  • the at least one latching projection extends in the direction of rotation of the liquid dispensing part. This increases the mechanical stability of the locking projection. It can be provided, for example, that extends the at least one locking projection in the direction of rotation of the liquid dispensing part over an angular range of at least 20 °. In particular, an extension of the at least one latching projection in the direction of rotation of the liquid dispensing part over an angular range of 25 ° to 30 ° is preferred.
  • the nozzle arrangement according to the invention has only a single latching projection, which dips in different rotational positions of the liquid discharge part in each case in a complementarily configured latching recess.

This ensures that the sealing ring can not fall out of the annular groove during rotation of the liquid dispensing part, because this would require the height of the locking projection and thus the displacement of the piston be greater than the material thickness of the sealing ring.
  • the piston expands gradually in the direction of the liquid dispensing part.
  • the rear side of the piston remote from the liquid discharge part has a smaller area than the end face of the piston facing the liquid discharge part.
