Abstract
A fixing device for fixing a dispensing member to the neck of a receptacle, the fixing device includes a fixing ring having a bottom skirt engaging a neck of a receptacle, a member for receiving a dispensing member, and a top socket which extends in the direction opposite to the direction in which the skirt extends; and trim which extends around the ring so as to mask it at least in part, the trim having a body defining a top end forming an inwardly-extending rim that extends inwards and then downwards so as to define an inner sleeve. The sleeve comes into engagement with the inside surface of the socket; and the inner sleeve forms a resilient tab which extends outwards and upwards so as to define a free end which comes into contact with an inside surface of the socket.
