From US-T 993 001, for example, a metering memory is known, which is filled with a laundry treatment liquid and fed into a washing machine. The dosing tank is initially closed. In a certain cycle of the washing machine, the spin cycle, opens due to a weight attached to the closure part. The centrifugal force overcomes the closing force of the cover.

On the other hand, it is perceived as unsatisfactory in dosing stores that are always open that the laundry treatment liquid can leak before a wash treatment cycle has started. If, for example, longer downtimes are preceded, it is possible for highly concentrated laundry treatment liquid to flow onto items of laundry and to cause color fading or the like.

Furthermore, the outlet opening can be closed from the inside by means of a liquid-carrying closure body. When this dosing reservoir is filled, the liquid-carrying closure body moves into a closed position. The fact that the filling level is above the opening level of the outlet opening means that the outlet opening can be securely closed by means of the closure body.
