Abgabevorrichtung nach Anspruch 2, bei welcher der Ring (8) bei der axialen Verschiebung in der Hülle (4) auf einem festgelegten axialen Weg geführt ist, wobei der Ring (8) aus dieser axialen Führung freigegeben wird, wenn die Aufnahmekrone (7) in axialer Richtung über einen Weg hinweg gegen den Ring (8) gedrückt wird, der größer als der festgelegte axiale Weg ist.
  4. Abgabevorrichtung nach Anspruch 3, bei welcher der Ring (8) zu einer Drehung bezüglich der Hülle (4) über einen begrenzten Winkel veranlasst wird, wenn er gleichzeitig aus der axialen Führung durch die Hülle (4) und vom axialen Druck der Aufnahmekrone (7) frei kommt.

  8. Abgabevorrichtung nach Anspruch 7, bei welcher die Aufnahmekrone (7) einen ringförmigen, gezackten Rand (73) umfasst, der abfallende Flanken (74) aufweist, die durch Scheitel (76) und Täler (77) voneinander getrennt sind, wobei der Ring (8) Kontakt-Elemente (83) umfasst, die auf den abfallenden Flanken (74) in Eingriff stehen, wenn die Aufnahmekrone (7) in axialer Richtung gegen den Ring (8) gedrückt wird, derart dass der Ring (8) zu einer Drehung bezüglich der Aufnahmekrone (7) veranlasst wird.
