    Abstract: Pressurized receptacle for dispensing a viscous product comprising a container (1) equipped with a dispensing valve; the valve has a valve pot (2) and a valve element (10) secured to a translatable dispensing stack subjected to the action of a spring (6); the valve element cooperates with a seat (5) borne by the valve pot in order to close the valve under the action of the spring; the spring is compressed in order to open the valve by an operating means acting on the dispensing stack; the product to be dispensed is ejected from the receptacle through the valve and the dispensing stack. The dispensing stack bears on the side directed away from the valve at least one helical ramp (71, 72) of the same axis as the valve; the operating means is a rotary collar (12) fixed in translation with respect to the container, the said collar having at least one stud (14b) which can cooperate with the helical ramp or ramps in order to cause a translational movement of the dispensing stack when the collar is rotated.
