A dispensing head, intended for actuating a dispensing element mounted on
a container and for dispensing a product contained in the container,
includes: a) a mechanism for fastening the head to the container; b) a
dispensing duct able to communicate with the product inside the
container; and c) an actuating mechanism for actuating the dispensing
element. The actuating mechanism can be provided with a dispensing
orifice and is able to move with respect to the duct between a first
position in which the product can be dispensed and a second position in
which the product cannot be dispensed and in which the dispensing element
cannot be actuated. The actuating mechanism is able, in the second
position, to butt against an integral portion of the fastening mechanism
that prevents displacement of the actuating mechanism from the first to
the second position.
