Abstract

The pushbutton (1) for mounting on a valve or a pump of a dispenser enables, by actuation of the pushbutton, liquid contained in a container to be sprayed through at least two spraying nozzles (5, 6) provided in the pushbutton and connected to a central channel (4) of the pushbutton. Each nozzle (5, 6) has an axis (A5, A6) oriented substantially transversally with respect to the axis (A4) of the central channel (4) of the pushbutton. The axes of the spraying nozzles of the pushbutton being situated in the same plane, the axes (A5, A6) of the spraying nozzles form between each other an angle (B, C) between 1.degree. and 40.degree. and the nozzles (5, 6 are supplied by means of two conduits (7, 9) whose axes are parallel.
