Abstract
A support (1) for a flexible pouch for a fluid dispenser, said support comprising an appendage (11) to which the flexible pouch is fixed via its opening, and a socket (12) on which a dispensing member such as a pump is mounted, said support defining a passageway (13) causing the dispensing member to communicate with the flexible pouch so as to enable fluid contained in the pouch to be extracted by the dispensing member, said support being characterized in that said support (1) is provided with at least one tube (2) defining an internal duct (20) open at both ends of the tube, said tube (2) being fixed to the support (1) so that it has a free end (21) extending inside the flexible pouch, while its “top” other end (22) is fixed to the support eccentrically relative to the passageway (13) so that it causes the internal duct (20) to communicate with said passageway (13).
