Abstract
A dispenser includes a brush fixed to a powder reservoir having a tuft of hair and a tuft holder provided with a first powder supply orifice. The reservoir is closed by a shutter in which a second powder supply orifice is formed, and that can be turned manually with respect to the tuft holder to align the first and second orifices. The shutter of the reservoir includes a central duct with a bottom in which the second orifice is formed. The tuft holder has a lower tubular part with a bottom wherein the said first orifice cooperates with the central duct to provide axial securement and free rotation, an upper tubular part fitting tightly around the said tuft and a said first skirt. The dispenser includes a guide that has an axial displacement tab, the lower end of which supports a radial pin, and the central duct carries a helical ramp on its outer surface that cooperates with the pin such that rotation of the guide causes an axial movement of the guide.
