A DISPENSING MECHANISM AND A DISPENSER

摘要

A dispensing mechanism (4) for a liquid container (10) arranged in liquid communication with an outlet mechanism for a liquid is provided. The dispensing mechanism (4) is adapted to translate a user force applied to a user operated portion (22) into a transfer force applied from a user lever (20) to an actuation part (18). A relationship between a first length and a second length forms a lever ratio. The first length extends from a first pivot axis (30) to a user operated portion (22) and the second length extends from the first pivot axis (30) to a point of action of the transfer force on the actuation part (18). The lever ratio is adapted to increase from a non-actuated position over at least the first 50% of a dispensing stroke of the actuation part (18) such that the transfer force increases over the at least first 50 % of the dispensing stroke when a constant force is applied to the user operated portion (22). A dispenser (2) for a liquid comprising a dispensing mechanism (4) is further provided.
