The material of the container has a rigidity such that the dispensing of the product requires air-uptake by the container. A pumping member having an inlet valve and a dispensing valve is provided for dispensing the product. The pumping member is of the type having no air-uptake. The assembly includes elements for selectively establishing or preventing air-uptake by the container. The dispensing head possesses a bearing surface having a flexible diaphragm defining a springy leaf applied against the end of the bearing surface into which the dispensing channel emerges.
