Dispensing device for a liquid container

The invention concerns a dispensing device for a liquid container-in particular for a container of flexible material in a substantially dimensionally stable outer container which encloses the container of flexible material and is penetrated by the dispensing device-, wherein a tubular part of the dispensing device has a laterally disposed outlet opening which can be closed by a valve element. The invention relates to a dispensing device for a liquid container, notably for a container made of a flexible material housed in a substantially dimensionally stable outer container which encloses same and is penetrated by the dispensing device. Said dispensing device comprises a tubular part with an outlet opening which can be shut by a valve element. A tubular housing body is closed at one end by a membrane-like front disk in which a rod-like transverse element in which a valve tappet for a valve head originates which is assigned to the lateral outlet opening provided for in the tubular housing body. The valve tappet and valve head further form a monobloc unit made a plastic material which is softer than the material of the housing body or rod-like element, and the valve tappet is mounted on the rod-like element in the area of an articulated region.
