The cover includes an upper recess that has a manually flexibly deformable wall mounted thereon. The wall has a dispensing opening, and the cover is provided with a lower reinforcement that defines, with the wall, a pumping chamber. The reinforcement has a supply opening. The distribution opening and supply opening are provided with, respectively, an output valve and an input valve. The pouch has, built therein, a coupling provided with a well that is sealably covered by the casing of the pouch, and the reinforcement includes a nipple that is to be placed into the well. The nipple is set up so as to enable the perforation of the casing during the placement thereof into the well. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A dispensing kit for dispensing a product, said dispensing kit comprising: a pouch having a flexible casing wherein said product is sealably conditioned, a dispensing case having a cover that is adapted to mount onto a base, said cover and said base defining therebetween a space for said pouch to be housed, said cover having an upper recess and a flexibly deformable wall mounted onto said upper recess, said wall having a dispensing opening for said product, a pumping chamber defined by said wall and a lower frame of said cover, said chamber being in communication with said dispensing opening, said frame having a supply opening for said product of said pumping chamber, said dispensing opening and supply opening having respectively an output valve and an input valve, said output valve and input valve are adapted to provide, via deformation of the pumping chamber, the dispensing of said product from said dispensing opening and, via elastic return, the supply of said chamber by said supply opening, a coupling incorporated into said pouch, said coupling having a well in communication with said conditioned product, said well being sealably covered by said casing of said pouch, and a nipple attached to said frame, said nipple being adapted to be placed in said well in order to dispose said supply opening in sealed communication with said conditioned product, and said nipple being adapted to perforate said casing when said nipple is placed within said well. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the nipple has a bore forming the supply opening of the pumping chamber. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the nipple has a chisel tip adapted to perforate said casing when the nipple is placed within said well. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that at least one of said well and said nipple includes means for sealing the placement of said nipple into said well. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the frame releasably connects with a lower surface of the cover. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the flexibly deformable wall is disposed over an upper surface of the cover. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The dispensing kit according to claim 6, characterised in that the flexibly deformable wall has a pressing zone for pressing on the pumping chamber. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The dispensing kit according to claim 7, characterised in that the flexibly deformable wall has a bead protruding from the upper surface of the cover, with the pressing zone being formed on said bead and the pumping chamber being formed inside said bead. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The dispensing kit according to claim 7, characterised in that the pressing zone has an extended geometry which is bordered on either side by the supply opening and dispensing opening in such a way as to provide for a translation of the pressing exerted on the pumping chamber from a vicinity of the supply opening in a direction of the dispensing opening. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The dispensing kit according to claim 9, characterised in that the dispensing opening is formed in the extended geometry of the pressing zone. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The dispensing kit according to claim 7, characterised in that the frame has a guiding track which is arranged opposite the pressing zone, with the supply opening and dispensing opening being arranged outside of said track. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The dispensing kit according to claim 11, characterised in that the track has two protruding edges in the pumping chamber, the supply opening and dispensing opening being adjacent respectively to one of said edges. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the input valve is formed of a flexible lip, said flexible lip is adapted to be thrust onto the supply opening during the deformation of the pumping chamber. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the output valve comprises a needle for closing off the dispensing opening, said needle is adapted to be displaced reversibly during the deformation of the pumping chamber. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The dispensing kit according to claim 14, characterised in that the frame has a seat wherein the needle is mounted in sealed translation by an intermediary of a means of elastic return, said needle comprising a collar in communication with the pumping chamber such that the pressure exerted on the product during the deformation of said chamber induces displacement of said needle outside of the dispensing opening. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the coupling has a surface protruding from the casing of the pouch, with the cover comprising means for wedging said surface to align said well during the placement of the nipple. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The dispensing kit according to claim 1, characterised in that the pouch has a mouth wherein the coupling is fixed by covering the well with an edge of said mouth. ### Claim 18 A dispensing system obtained by the assembly of a kit, said kit comprising: a pouch having a flexible casing wherein said product is sealably conditioned, a dispensing case having a cover that is adapted to mount onto a base, said cover and said base defining therebetween a space for said pouch to be housed, said cover having an upper recess and a flexibly deformable wall mounted onto said upper recess, said wall having a dispensing opening for said product, a pumping chamber defined by said wall and a lower frame of said cover, said chamber being in communication with said dispensing opening, said frame having a supply opening for said product of said pumping chamber, said dispensing opening and supply opening having respectively an output valve and an input valve, said output valve and input valve are adapted to provide, via deformation of the pumping chamber, the dispensing of said product from said dispensing opening and, via elastic return, the supply of said chamber by said supply opening, a coupling incorporated into said pouch, said coupling having a well in communication with said conditioned product, said well being sealably covered by said casing of said pouch, and a nipple attached to said frame, said nipple being adapted to be placed in said well in order to dispose said supply opening in sealed communication with said conditioned product, and said nipple being adapted to perforate said casing when said nipple is placed within said well, wherein the cover is mounted onto the base with the pouch housed in the space defined by said cover and said base, and with the nipple being placed into the well in order to dispose the supply opening in sealed communication with the product conditioned in said pouch.
