A dispensing device

A device (1405;2405;3405;4405;5405) for dispensing a substance has a dispensing outlet (1411;2411;3411) from which the substance is dispensable, a dispensing member (1408;2408;3408;4408;5408) mounted for movement in a dispensing direction (U) from a first position to a second position, said movement, in use, causing the substance to be dispensed from the dispensing outlet (1411;2411;3411) , and an actuator mechanism (1415;2415;3415;4415;5415) for moving the dispensing member (1408;2408;3408;4408;5408) from the first position to the second position. The actuator mechanism (1415;2415;3415;4415;5415) has a first member (1420;2420;3420;4420;5420) mounted for movement in a predetermined direction and a second member (1425;2425;3425;4425;5425) pivotally mounted on the first member (1420;2420;3420;4420;5420) for pivotal movement in a predetermined pivotal sense A. The actuator mechanism (1415;2415;3415;4415;5415) is adapted such that movement of the first member (1420;2420;3420;4420;5420) in the predetermined direction results in the second member (1425;2425;3425;4425;5425) moving therewith and pivoting in the predetermined pivotal sense and said pivotal movement of the second member (1425;2425;3425;4425;5425) in the predetermined pivotal sense results in the dispensing member (1408;2408;3408;4408;5408) moving from the first position to the second position.
