Abstract:
1. An applicator distributor for a pasty or viscous product, such as a cosmetic or hygiene product that can flow by gravity and can be spread when applied to a part of the human body such as the skin, comprising: (a) a body comprising a main reservoir for said product equipped with a main opening, (b) a distribution head attached to said main reservoir, comprising at least one distribution orifice for said product, and (c) a removable cap cooperating with the body, wherein the distribution head further comprises: wherein the flexible member cooperates with the central arch to form a secondary reservoir that can house one dose of the product, wherein the main reservoir is situated above the secondary reservoir when the applicator is facing in a downward direction, wherein the secondary reservoir can be filled when the applicator distributor is facing in a downward direction and the product flows by gravity from the main reservoir to the secondary reservoir by an upstream means of communication, wherein the upstream orifice is obstructed, the capacity of said secondary reservoir is reduced and the dose of the product is expulsed towards the application surface by a downstream means of communication when the axial strain is exerted on the flexible member, and wherein the reduction of the capacity of the secondary reservoir comprises a reduction in capacity from a maximum capacity C
