Claim:
An applicator dispenser ( 1 ) of a powder product, typically a cosmetic product forming a powder, comprises a) a receptacle ( 2 ) forming a reservoir ( 27 ) that will contain said powder product, said receptacle ( 2 ) comprising a sidewall ( 20 ), an upper dome ( 22 ) with perforations something like a netting with at least one orifice ( 23 ) or a plurality of orifices ( 24 ) through which said powder can pass so that it can be used, and typically a bottom ( 21 ), b) a cap or cover ( 3 ) comprising a head ( 30 ) and a side skirt ( 31 ) cooperating with said receptacle ( 2 ) when said applicator dispenser ( 1 ) is closed so as to close said receptacle ( 2 ), and c) an application means ( 4 ) for said powder housed between said head ( 30 ) and said dome ( 22 ), characterized in that: 1) said application means ( 4 ) is fixed to said cap ( 3 ) due to an attachment means to form an applicator ( 9 ), such that said cap ( 3 ) acts like a manual means of gripping said application means ( 4 ) without any risk of getting the fingers dirty, 2) the applicator dispenser has an H/D shape factor equal to at least 1.5, so that the applicator dispenser ( 1 , 1 ′) is longitudinal and has an axial direction ( 10 ), where H is the height of said applicator dispenser ( 1 ′) along said axial direction ( 10 ), and D denotes its maximum transverse dimension or its diameter in the case of an applicator dispenser (I′) with a constant circular cross section over all of said height H, 3) said cap ( 3 ) being screwed to said receptacle ( 2 ) by a direct rotation of said cap ( 3 ) and said applicator dispenser ( 1 , 1 ′) thus being closed, said cap ( 3 ) and said receptacle ( 2 ) cooperate so as to form a blocking means to prevent accidental inverse rotation of said cap ( 3 ).
