Abstract:
1. A product packaging and dispensing assembly comprising: at least one container containing a product, wherein the container is fitted with a dispensing element comprising an actuator rod having a longitudinal axis X; a dispensing device which is movable relative to the container in order to actuate the dispensing element and allow the output of the product through at least one dispensing opening; an arrangement which limits displacement of the dispensing device, the arrangement comprising at least one flap, and a transverse surface which is transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the at least one flap and the transverse surface are configured such that on depression or force of the dispensing device along the longitudinal axis movement of the actuator rod along the longitudinal axis is limited, and wherein said arrangement is also configured such that the dispensing device swivels the actuator rod in a first direction about an axis Y from a rest position of the rod and the dispensing device is limited from swiveling the actuator rod about axis Y in a direction opposite the first direction from the rest position; wherein the assembly includes a fixing element mounted on said container, and wherein said dispensing device is mounted on said fixing element; wherein said transverse surface is provided on said fixing element, and wherein said at least one flap rocks upon said fixing element to swivel the actuator rod; and wherein the assembly includes two containers each having a respective actuator rod, and wherein said fixing element is mounted to both of said containers.
