Actuating device for a dispensing pump of a dispenser

Actuating device for a dispensing pump of a dispenser configured to be used on a container, in an upward position of the container, the actuating device comprising a pouring cup and a connecting device,

• wherein the pouring cup defines an inner chamber for receiving a metered amount of a product contained in the container,
• wherein the connecting device comprises a hollow structure extending along a longitudinal axis between at least a first end and a second end, opposite to the first end, the hollow structure being connected and supporting the pouring cup,
• wherein the hollow structure defines a channel extending along said longitudinal axis between at least an input opening and at least an output opening,
• wherein said at least one output opening emerges into the inner chamber whereby the channel of the hollow structure of the connecting device is in fluid communication with the inner chamber of the pouring cup,
• wherein the second end of the hollow structure comprises a connecting portion configured to be connected to a hollow stem of the dispensing pump whereby said channel of the hollow structure is in fluid communication with a dispensing cavity defined by the hollow stem of the dispensing pump,
• wherein the connecting portion of the hollow structure is configured to transmit to the hollow stem of the dispensing pump a force applied to the hollow structure and directed along said longitudinal axis for axially moving the hollow stem within the dispensing pump, and
• wherein the connecting portion of the hollow structure is configured to transmit to the hollow stem of the dispensing pump a torque applied to the hollow structure for rotating the hollow stem around the longitudinal axis within the dispensing pump.
