An evaporative cooler (10) includes a housing having aligned upper and base panels (40, 50), and one or more air pervious side panels (70) peripherally disposed therebetween. An air inlet (52) is formed in the upper panel and the base panel collects excess water. An air pervious evaporative pad (80)
An evaporative cooler (10) includes a housing having aligned upper and base panels (40, 50), and one or more air pervious side panels (70) peripherally disposed therebetween. An air inlet (52) is formed in the upper panel and the base panel collects excess water. An air pervious evaporative pad (80) formed of a fibrous material is enclosed within the housing and has a recess (82) formed therein which opens toward the air inlet. A fan (30) secured to the top panel delivers air ambient the fan into the housing and through the evaporative pad where it is cooled by an evaporative process, and the cooled air is discharged through the air outlets. A conduit and flow control system (21, 26, 27, 28, 29) is provided to supply evaporation water (25) to the evaporative pad at a rate substantially equal to the rate at which the water evaporates from the pad.

The cap of claim 2, wherein the at least one shut-off flap is configured to move from the first position to the second position by bending. 4. The cap of claim 2, wherein the at least one shut-off flap is configured to move to a third position inward toward the container to allow air to enter the container when the increased pressure in the container ceases. 5. The cap of claim 1, wherein the at least one shut-off flap is configured to provide a liquid-tight seal for the outlet orifice when the at least one shut-off flap is in a first position. 6. The cap of claim 1, wherein the at least one shut-off flap is configured to allow air to enter the container to compensate for a volume of the product dispensed when the at least one shut-off flap is in first position. 7. The cap of claim 1, wherein the cap is a single piece formed by molding. 8. The cap of claim 7, wherein the cap is formed by molding a polypropylene material. 9. The cap of claim 1, further comprising at least one bridge of material forming a hinge coupling the at least one shut-off flap to the body. 10. The cap of claim 9, wherein the at least one bridge of material comprises two bridges of material located at a non-zero distance apart from one another. 11. The cap of claim 9, wherein the outlet orifice is located at a bottom of a cavity defined by the body, the cavity having a first side located adjacent to the at least one bridge of material, and a second side substantially opposite to the first side, and wherein a profile of the second side is inclined with respect to the first side. 12. The cap of claim 1, further comprising means for mounting the cap on the container. 13. The cap of claim 12, wherein the mounting means is configured to cooperate with corresponding means on the container so as to allow the cap to be coupled to the container by at least one of snap fastening and screwing. 14. A packaging and dispensing assembly, comprising: the cap of claim 1; and a container, the cap being on the container. 15. The assembly of claim 14, wherein the container comprises a free edge defining an opening of the container, the cap selectively covering the opening of the container. 16. The assembly of claim 14, further comprising a product in the container. 17. The assembly of claim 16, wherein the product is a cosmetic product. 18. The assembly of claim 17, wherein the cosmetic product is at least one of a hair product and a care product. 19. A method of applying a product, comprising: providing the assembly of claim 16; dispensing the product from the container; and applying the product to a surface. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the product comprises one of a cosmetic product and a care product, and wherein the applying comprises applying the product a body part. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein the dispensing comprises applying a force to an outer surface of the container. 22. The method of claim 21, wherein the force is applied in a direction substantially perpendicular to the outer surface of the container. 23. The method of claim 21, wherein the applying of the force comprises squeezing the container. 24. The assembly of claim 14, wherein the container comprises at least one wall capable of deforming from an initial shape in response to a pressure exerted at a right angle with respect to a surface thereof, and of returning substantially to the initial shape when the exertion of pressure ceases. 25. The cap of claim 1, wherein a modulus of elasticity associated with the material comprising the cap is at least about 1450 MPa. 26. A cap for a container, comprising: a body; an outlet orifice for dispensing a product from the container; a lid pivotally coupled to the body, the lid being configured to selectively cover at least a portion of the outlet orifice; and a valve associated with the outlet orifice, the valve selectively allowing a product to be dispensed from the outlet or
