Abstract

A container comprises a dispensing head () and a protective cap () fitted on the dispensing head (). The cap () comprises a base portion () engageable to a dispensing head (); a lid () hinged to said base portion () and movable between an open position, in which it allows access to the dispensing head (), and a closed position in which it prevents access to the dispensing head (); an outer locator plate () engageable with a corresponding inner locator plate () of said dispensing head (), the mutual engagement between said locator plates () defining a screwing motion of the cap () relative to the dispensing head () to automatically achieve an installation of the cap () on the dispensing head () according to a pre-determined mutual angular positioning. The dispensing head () comprising a base () able to be coupled stably to an outlet portion of the container; a dispenser () having a dispensing head and slidably movable relative to the base () to obtain a dispensing of a product contained in the container as a result of a pressure exerted on the dispenser (); at least one inner locator plate () engageable with the outer locator plate () of the cap (), to guide the outer locator plate () according to a helical path around the dispenser ().
