Dispenser for delivering portions of pasty substances has a tubular housing with a plunger, an emptying nozzle, a squeeze head, a handle and a stationary cover. The plunger is displaced in the tubular housing in a stepwise manner during emptying actuation in a direction of the emptying nozzle. The nozzle is associated with the squeeze head that can be pressed in the direction of the plunger and can be actuated via the handle. The stationary cover closes an opening cross-section of the emptying nozzle. The handle, upon pressure actuation, pivots about a point which, in relation to the emptying nozzle is located on an opposite side to an actuating-button surface of the handle, and the emptying nozzle pivots away sideways beneath the cover.
