  • Publication number: 20250083944
    Abstract: A dispensing system with a dispense head and at least one container. The dispense head is connectable to a container opening of the container by means of a screw connection, so that stored material is dispensable from or suppliable to the container by means of the dispense head. There is an actuating ring on the dispense head, wherein the screw connection is established by rotating the actuating ring in a closure direction. The screw connection is released by rotating the actuating ring in a release direction. The actuating ring has an overload protection by means of which an effective closure torque is limited to a limit closure torque when the screw connection is established.
