Dispenser (1) for dispensing flowable, for example liquid or pasty masses (2), comprising a reservoir (6) for receiving the
mass (2), a dispenser pump (3) preferably of a
modular design, the dispenser pump (3) having an inlet and an outlet channel (26) and a
pump chamber (4) delimited on the inlet and outlet sides by valves (15, 16), and a headpiece (5), the headpiece (5) having a dispensing
nozzle (42), a return device (7) formed by a spring being provided between the headpiece (5) and the reservoir (6), the return device (7) being formed by a plastic spring (8), with a lower spring ring (9) and an upper spring ring (10) being arranged substantially coaxially to each other, a plane (E) spanned by the spring rings (9, 10) extending substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (y) of the plastic spring (8),wherein several intermediate rings (39, 39') extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis (y) of the plastic spring (8) are formed over the height (h) of the plastic spring (8), wherein the spring rings (9, 10) and the intermediate rings (39, 39') are further connected to each other by spring struts (11) extending between the intermediate rings (39, 39') and between the spring rings (9, 10) and the intermediate rings (39, 39'), characterized in that two successive intermediate rings (39, 39') in the direction (r) of the longitudinal axis (y) are curved in opposite directions, wherein the spring struts (11) have opposing,
circular segment-shaped side contours.
