  • the dispensing system comprises a manually operated pump P or, in the case where the liquid is packaged under pressure in the bottle, a manually operated valve.
  • the pump P or the valve is actuated to supply the nozzle G in liquid under pressure.
  • the push button also comprises an attached cap 9 which has substantially the same cylindrical envelope of revolution as the body 1, said cap being associated on the body 1 so as to form a unitary actuating part of the dispensing system.
  • the push button may comprise an aspect trim, for example anodized aluminum or tinted, which is mounted on the cap 9 and / or on the body 1, covering the upper wall 10 of the cap 9 and / or the outer face of the outer skirt 2 while leaving free the dispensing orifice 8.
  • the body 1 and the cap 9 may be made by molding a plastic material, in particular in the same material or in two similar materials, and be assembled by welding or gluing.
  • the weld can be ultrasonic or high frequency type.
  • the materials may be of polyolefinic type, for example polypropylene or polyethylene.
  • the cap 9 comprises an upper wall 10 allowing the user to exert on it a digital support in order to be able to axially and jointly move the body 1, and thus allow the actuation of the dispensing system by pressing the button axially. button.
  • the cap 9 also has a bottom wall 11 which is arranged facing the upper wall 4 of the body 1 to allow the association of said cap on said body.
  • the distribution chamber 7 is formed between the upper 4 and lower 11 walls by forming a cavity 12 on at least one of these walls 4, 11, the dispensing orifice 8 being disposed on the periphery of the push button for a lateral distribution of the liquid.
  • the cavity 12 is hollowed out in the bottom wall 11 of the cap 9, the part of the upper wall 4 which is disposed facing the footprint 12 being flat.
  • the distribution chamber 7 is delimited in the upper part by the portion of the bottom wall 11 on which is formed the bottom of the cavity 12, and in the lower part by the flat wall 4 in which the chimney 6 opens.
  • the dispensing orifices 8 are formed on the outer edge 12a of the cavity 12 which is disposed downstream of the distribution chamber 7. More specifically, each orifice 8 is formed by a notch in the outer wall 12a, said orifices being delimited in the upper part by the bottom of the cavity 12 and in the lower part by the flat wall 4.
  • the outer edge 12a has a concave profile and the distribution orifices 8 are arranged symmetrically along the said profile. to orient their distribution axis.
  • the outer edge 12a is recessed on the periphery of the push button so as to form a housing 13 at the bottom of which the dispensing orifice 8 is formed. More specifically, the housing 13 is formed on the edge of the cap 9 in the continuity of the bottom wall 11.
