Abstract: The present invention concerns a container of the type made up of a receptacle (2) hermetically containing a product (3) in a liquid, gas or pasty state to be distributed, an end piece (4) for distributing the product (3) and means for protecting the distribution end piece (4). The means for protecting the distributor end piece (4) are made up of a sleeve (8) able to slide freely on said end piece (4) by means of activation means (9A, 9A′, 9B, 9B′) belonging to it so that said sleeve (8) automatically ensures protection by covering the end piece (4) when the container (1) is placed, or on the other hand freeing it under solely the effect of the inertia of the sub-unit (8-9-11).

Abstract: A metal fastening ring which can be screwed on for attaching a distribution component, such as a pump or a valve, on a container which has a neck and which contains product to be distributed. The ring includes a metal, interior, annular wall with internal threads which cooperate with external threads on the container neck. The ring has a plastic material coating on the threaded, interior, annular wall.

Abstract: A metal fixing ring is disclosed, which is capable of being screwed for fixing a dispensing device, such as a pump or a valve, on a container comprising a neck and containing a product to be dispensed. The metal fixing ring, which comprises an internal thread co-operating with an external thread provided on the container neck, further comprises a plastic material coating on the internal surface that comprises the internal thread.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid material from a container, including a conventional pump or valve comprising a fixed body in which an actuating rod (11) is movable between an inoperative position and a dispensing position, said rod (11) being hollow so that it defines a discharge channel (15) providing fluid communication between at least one part of said fluid material and outlets (12) on the rod; and a dispensing member (3) secured to said body and provided with a fixed dispensing outlet (20) and means (31, 34) for providing fluid communication between said movable outlets (12) and the fixed dispensing outlet (20), at least in the dispensing position, as well as a push button (13) mounted on the actuating rod (11) for sealing the top end of the discharge channel (15).
