The product emerges through at least one opening arranged in an outlet element (9) connected to the pump (30) by a conduit (41) forming a flexible connection. The outlet element (9) is held substantially immovably in position on a fixed portion (51) of the body (10) surmounting the reservoir (12), the actuating element (34) being independently mounted relative to the fixed portion (51) of the body (10).
