Dispenser cap

A dispensing pump includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis and configured to be inserted in a bottle. The housing defines a dosing chamber and includes a venting hole. A retaining ring is fastened to the housing and inserted therein. A hollow stem is associated to a piston and inserted in a hole of the retaining ring leaving a passage. The hollow stem and piston are movable between a lowered position and a raised position corresponding to different volumes of the dosing chamber. A venting path includes at least the passage between the hollow stem and the retaining ring and the venting hole. Through the venting path a volume of air enters the bottle through the venting hole during the pump actuation to replace liquid pumped out from the bottle by the pump. A venting valve is interposed between the hollow stem and retaining ring, along the venting path.
