Metering device with an adapter device for an installable unit

摘要

The device (820) has a set of support arms that are arranged parallel to each other and extend in lengthwise direction substantially orthogonal to direction of gravity. One of the support arms (821'') includes a protrusion that positions an insertion unit (810) in a plane that extends orthogonal to the direction of gravity, where main dimension of the protrusion is directed against the direction of gravity. The insertion unit (810) is inserted into the receiving device such that the protrusion reaches into a recess (812'') formed on the insertion unit. An independent claim is also included for a dosage-dispensing device for substances in powder and paste form.
