Abstract: A dispenser for applying liquid, having a housing with an applicator opening and a liquid reservoir. The dispenser has a ventilation duct by which an ambient atmosphere is connected to the liquid reservoir so that, after the application of liquid, an inflow of air from the atmosphere is permitted into the liquid reservoir. The dispenser is provided with a detection installation which for detecting an application procedure detects air flowing in through the ventilation duct. The dispenser has a protective cap covering the applicator opening on the housing. The dispenser in the ventilation duct has a switch valve operable by activating a push-button on the external side of the housing. The protective cap acts on the push-button when placed on the housing or when the protective cap is being placed thereon to open the switch valve.
