Abstract

A nasal spray with a container for rinsing fluid, which has a delivery aperture, with a valve body kept movable in the region of the delivery aperture with a tube attached to said valve body, such that different swivel positions of the valve body in co-operation with the delivery aperture determine an open position (FIG. 2), in which the tube is in communication with the container, and a closed position (FIG. 1), in which the container is sealed, wherein the valve body can be swivelled into a ventilation position (FIG. 3) which is different from the open and closed positions, in which the container is ventilated and residue can be emptied.
