A discharging device for dispensing liquids having a housing, control electronics, a liquid storage receptacle, a discharge orifice, a conveying device actuable manually by a first actuator which transports the liquid to the discharge orifice from the storage receptacle and a blocking device, which in a blocked state blocks the actuation of the conveying device and in a released state allows actuation of the conveying device. The blocking device includes an interlock device movable relative to the housing between first and second positions and a movement of the interlock device from the first to the second position causes the blocking device to assume the released state. The interlock device is biased by a spring device in the direction of the second position and a first retaining device is provided which retains the interlock device in the first position and which is releasable by a signal from the control electronics.
