Abstract
A dispensing device is provided for dispensing a product that may be of viscous consistency, such as, for example, a cream or a gel. The dispensing device includes a container having a first end closed by a bottom and a second end that has an opening. A dispensing element is configured to be arranged on the product and forms a passage comprising at least one inlet orifice extending in a plane not perpendicular to an axis of the device, and an outlet orifice formed at least partly some distance from the inlet orifice. The outlet orifice extends at least partially above the inlet orifice. Rotating the dispensing element on the product causes the product to be delivered through the outlet orifice.
