Abstract
A unit for packaging and dispensing a product contained in a reservoir (12) is surmounted by a dispensing element (30) which has a hollow stem (33) mounted on elastic return element, and on which stem a member (34) for actuating the said dispensing element is mounted. The actuating member has a bearing surface (38). A coupling forming a ball joint (101) is provided between the hollow stem (33) and the push-button (34). The unit has a body (10) forming the reservoir (12) for the product, the product emerging through at least one orifice formed in an outlet member (9) connected to the dispensing element by a duct (41) forming a flexible coupling, and being held approximately motionless on a stationary portion (51) of the body surmounting the reservoir (12). The actuating member (34) is mounted independently of the stationary portion (51) of the body.
