Discharging apparatus for media

A discharging apparatus for liquid, pasty or pulverulent media, having

• a housing;
• a discharging opening for discharging the medium;
• a reservoir for storing the medium prior to being discharged;
• a handle movable linearly in relation to the housing and manually movable along a displacement movement which causes medium to be delivered from the reservoir to the discharging opening;
• an electric load;
• a converter which converts mechanical energy introduced at the handle into electrical energy for supplying the electric load, the converter comprising:
• an induction mechanism made of a magnetizable material, and a coil wound around the induction mechanism between a first end region of the induction mechanism and a second end region of the induction mechanism;
• and
• a magnet unit including a magnet having north and south poles, a first and a second north-pole surface provided on the north pole of the magnet, and a first and a second south-pole surface provided on the south pole of the magnet, the induction mechanism and the magnet unit being movable in relation to one another between a first relative position and a second relative position, wherein in the first relative position the first end region of the induction mechanism butts against the first north-pole surface and the second end region of the induction mechanism butts against the second south-pole surface, and in the second relative position the first end region of the induction mechanism butts against the first south-pole surface and the second end region of the induction mechanism butts against the second north-pole surface, and actuation of the handle shifts the induction mechanism and the magnet unit between the first and second relative positions one or more times during the displacement movement of the handle.

A discharging apparatus for liquid, pasty or pulverulent media, having

• a housing;
• a discharging opening for discharging the medium;
• a reservoir for storing the medium prior to being discharged;
• a handle manually movable linearly in relation to the housing along an actuating displacement movement in which medium is delivered from the reservoir to the discharging opening;
• an electric load;
• and
• a converter which converts mechanical energy introduced at the handle into electrical energy for supplying the electric load, the converter having a piezoelectric bending transducer with one end clamped in the housing and a free end deflected more than once during the actuating displacement movement of the handle.
