The dispenser (1) includes a body (2), a cap (11), a propellant device (3) including a base plate (4) with an axial screw (5), fixed on said base plate, a plunger (6) formed of a medium (8) of said stick and of a central nut (7), engaging by screwing with the axial screw, a bottom (12) and/or a knob for rotating the axial screw, and is characterized in that: a) engagement between the thread (50) of the screw (5) and the thread (70) of the nut (7) is partial, one of the two threads extending only over a predetermined angular fraction, so as to form a so-called partial thread, b) the central nut (7) and/or the axial screw (5) include a radial resilience means, constituting an aptitude for radial distortion under stress, so as to allow, in the event of forced rotation under stress and of locking of the screw relative to the nut, a disengagement, i.e. a relative axial movement of the “male” and “female” spirals, by overlap of the spirals and clearance of a screw thread, without destroying the engagement between screw and nut.
A product dispenser, including a body (2), a cap (11), a propellant device (3) including a base plate (4) fixed to said body by assembly, and an axial screw (5), with male helical thread (50), fixed on said base plate, a plunger (6) formed of a medium (8) and of a central nut (7), with a spiral female thread (70), engaging by rotation with said axial screw, a bottom (12) for rotating said axial screw, said medium and said body including axial guide means, by engagement of at least one axial rib (20) on the inner surface of said body with at least one axial groove on the periphery of said medium, so as to provide, in the case of a cylindrical dispenser, axial movement of said stick by rotation of said knob or of said bottom, characterised in that:
