1. A fluid product dispensing device comprising:
a dispensing member, provided with a ring and a safety cap removably secured to said ring, said safety cap comprising, on a lower edge of said safety cap, two diametrically opposite internal profiles and two diametrically opposite external markings, said internal profiles being offset by 90° from said external markings, wherein said ring comprises two diametrically opposite external profiles that match said internal profiles of said safety cap, said internal and external profiles engaging in one another in a secured position of said safety cap to hold said safety cap securely on said ring, and wherein said safety cap requires, in order to be removed from said ring, first a radial pressure on said external markings of said safety cap to thus disengage said internal profiles from said external profiles, then rotation of said compressed safety cap with respect to said ring, in order to allow said safety cap to be removed by an axial movement,
wherein each of said external profiles of said ring comprises a radially projecting projection in a shape of an inverted T formed by an axially oriented central branch connected at a lower end of said central branch to two lateral branches extending laterally on either side of said central branch,
wherein, for each radially projecting projection in the shape of the inverted T, a second projecting profile is disposed above an upper end of said central branch, in an upright position of the device, said corresponding second projecting profile being defined in said ring between a lower shoulder and an upper shoulder, said corresponding second projecting profile extends radially outwards beyond said corresponding central branch, said corresponding central branch extending radially outwards beyond the corresponding lateral branches extending laterally on either side of said corresponding central branch;
wherein each internal profile of said safety cap comprises a recess in the shape of an inverted T, with an axially oriented central recess connected at a lower end of said central recess to two lateral recesses extending laterally on either side of said central recess; and
wherein each central recess extends radially outwards beyond said two lateral recesses.
