The metering device (14) is mounted movably relative to the discharge opening (6) and has at least one recess (16) for conveying the substance to be discharged through the discharge opening (6) and out of the container (4). The metering device (14) is connected to a drive element, particularly to a spring element (13), and the drive element is configured to accelerate an amount of the substance that is received in the recess (16) of the metering device (14), as the amount leaves the dispenser (1).
