         6 . A dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the ramp ( 9 ) is disposed in a lower area of the dispenser in front of an isolating chamber ( 6 ). 
     
     
         7 . A dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein a dispenser catch ( 11 ), also movably disposed, is constructed to transfer force to the ramp ( 9 ). 
     
     
         8 . A dispenser according to  claim 7 , wherein the catch ( 11 ) of the dispenser is constructed as a spring element. 
     
     
         9 . A dispenser according to  claim 7 , wherein the catch ( 11 ) exhibits at least one bulge ( 14 ) acting upon the movement of the ramp ( 9 ). 
     
     
         10 . A dispenser according to  claim 7 , wherein the catch ( 11 ) and ramp ( 9 ) are connected to one another by a stationary flexible bar ( 17 ,  24 ). 
     
     
         11 . A dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein the ramp ( 9 ) is provided with a support appendage ( 17 ) using which movement of the pusher ( 2 ) is transferred to the ramp ( 9 ). 
     
     
         12 . A dispenser according to  claim 11 , wherein the support appendage ( 17 ) is flexibly constructed. 
     
     
         13 . A dispenser according to  claim 11 , wherein the support appendage ( 17 ) exhibits a tip ( 16 ). 
     
     
         14 . A dispenser according to  claim 1 , wherein when operating the pusher ( 2 ) against an edge ( 22 ) of the housing ( 1 ), a projection ( 21 ) is connected by a pre-determined breakage tab to the pusher ( 2 ). 
     
     
         15 . A dispenser according to  claim 14 , wherein the projection ( 21 ) exhibits a distance (B) enabling reduced movement of the pusher ( 2 ) without hitting the edge ( 22 ) for this. 
     
     
         16 . A dispenser according to  claim 15 , wherein the distance (B) is at least 0.5 mm. 
     
     
         17 . A dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the ramp is flexibly constructed. 
     
     
         18 . A dispenser according to  claim 2 , wherein the ramp is constructed as part of the pusher and is integral with it. 
     
     
         19 . A dispenser according to  claim 8 , wherein the catch exhibits at least one bulge acting upon the movement of the ramp. 
     
     
         20 . A dispenser according to  claim 12 , wherein the support appendage exhibits a tip.
