1. Dispensing device for dispensing a product from an extraction device of a container, comprising:
a base;
a cap comprising a finger pad allowing the extraction device of the container to be actuated; and
an outlet conduit provided at a first end with an actuating member intended to cooperate with the extraction device of the container when the finger pad is actuated, and at a second end with an outlet opening,
the cap being rotatably mounted on the base so as to be rotatable relative to the base around a main axis between an unlocked position in which the actuating member of the outlet conduit can open the extraction device of the container when the finger pad is actuated, and a locked position in which the actuating member of the outlet conduit cannot open the extraction device even when the finger pad is actuated,
indicating means being provided to indicate to a user a relative position of the cap with respect to the base,
wherein the indicating means comprise:
a notch or an opening made in one of the base or the cap; and
an information wall placed in another of the cap or the base, so that the information wall is located behind the notch or opening, inside the dispensing device, regardless of the relative position of the cap with respect to the base between the locked position and the unlocked position, the information wall having a first, unlocked position mark and a second, locked position mark, the first mark facing the notch or opening when the cap is in the unlocked position and the second mark facing the notch or opening when the cap is in the locked position, wherein
the one of the base or the cap which is provided with the notch or opening comprises an inner wall which extends at least behind the notch or opening, leaving a gap between the notch or opening and the inner wall, gap in which the information wall takes place, and
the marks pass through a thickness of the information wall so as to reveal the inner wall behind the marks when the marks are aligned with the notch or opening.
