Abstract
A head (,) for dispensing a product under pressure includes a dispensing element (,) intended to be mounted on a pump or a valve (,) surmounting a product reservoir (,) and defining an outlet duct (,) for the product, opening to a dispensing orifice (,). A rigid or semi-rigid actuator (,) is capable of coming into engagement with the dispenser. A shut-off device (,) is integral with the actuator (,) and is capable, in response to a pressure exerted on the actuator, of moving from a first position in which it seals off the orifice (,) to a second position in which the orifice (,) is uncovered so as to allow the product to exit under pressure. The shut-off device (,) is formed of a material that is elastically deformable so that it can return to the first position by elastic return when the actuating pressure ceases.
