Abstract

Assembly consists of a container (20) for a fluid, fitted with a distributing head with outlet nozzle(s) (40). The head is covered by a cap (30) with at least one aperture that can be aligned with the outlet nozzle(s). Each aperture is a slit in a flexible membrane (50) with edges (52a, 52b) that open when the slit is aligned with a nozzle, the membrane being made in one piece with the cap. The assembly consists of a container (20) for a fluid, especially cosmetic product, fitted with a distributing head that has at least one outlet nozzle (40). The head is covered by a cap (30) with at least one aperture that can be aligned with the outlet nozzle(s) or cover them to prevent the product escaping. Each aperture in the cap is in the form of a slit in a flexible membrane (50) with edges (52a, 52b) that open when the slit is aligned with a nozzle, the membrane being made in one piece with the cap, especially by bi-injection.
