Patent attributes
A dispensing device which can be mounted on a container fitted with a dispensing element through which a product held in the container can emerge when this element is actuated. The device includes an element for mounting the device on the container, and a dispensing head. The dispensing head includes a dispensing orifice and a conduit to channel the product emerging from the dispensing element to the dispensing orifice. An actuating surface is movable relative to the mounting element, and actuates the dispensing element. In a preferred example, the actuating surface and the conduit are formed by molding as a single piece. A closure member is configured to cover the dispensing orifice in a stowed position. Movement of the closure element to the stowed position involves a force exerted by the closure element on the head, axially to the conduit, in the direction toward the dispensing element. In addition, a stop is designed to limit the movement of the dispensing head in the direction toward the dispensing element as the closure element moves to the stowed position.
