Abstract

The device (10) serves for producing and discharging foam from a foamable liquid which is located in a container (F). The device (10) is arranged on the connecting piece (11) of the container by means of a mounting part (15). The mounting part (15) is covered by a cap (19) which can be moved over from an open position into a closed position. A mixer part (23) is arranged in an axial opening (20) in the mounting part (15). A permeable mixer element (29) with air and liquid channels (26, 27) is fixed in the mixer part (23). The mounting part (15) is constructed as a closure element which rests sealingly on the end face (16) of the connecting piece (11) and is detachably mounted on the outer wall of the connecting piece, and is covered by the cap (19). <IMAGE>
