Abstract

An actuator cap (148) for a container (50) of product includes a main peripheral wall surrounding a central discharge member. The central discharge member is oriented to discharge product axially. An actuator arm extends radially from the central discharge member and is axially deflectale to axially displace the discharge member. A pillar (306) has a peripheral surface and is radially deflectable toward the central discharge member, and the pillar is deflectable relative to the main peripheral wall. In an actuating position of the discharge member, both the pillar (306) and the actuator arm (305) are deflected.
