A metering end cap provided to the neck of a flexible container containing a fluid and intended to transfer, at will, an amount of fluid from an upstream space towards a downstream space, this end cap including a chamber in which is disposed a movable valve normally biased towards a rest position and operationally moved towards an end position. The valve isolates the upstream space and the downstream space from each other in its end position and only in this position, and the outlet of the chamber communicates with the upstream space for any position of the valve other that its end position.

1. A metering device for transferring, from an upstream space towards a downstream space, a predetermined volume of a fluid in response to a rise in pressure of the fluid in the upstream space, the metering device comprising at least a hollow body, a valve, and a sealing seat defined over a hollow or substantially annular member and surrounding a fluid passage disposed between the upstream space and the downstream space, the hollow body delimiting at least partially a chamber provided with an inlet and an outlet, the valve being movable with respect to the hollow body between a rest position, towards which the valve is biased by a return force, at least partially including an elastic return force, and an end position, which is spaced from the rest position and towards which the valve is selectively biased by the fluid flowing from the upstream space towards the downstream space, and in which the valve rests on the sealing seat, the upstream space extending at least outside the chamber on an inlet side, the downstream space extending at least outside the device and the chamber on an outlet side, the valve isolating one from the other the upstream space and the downstream space in its end position and only in this position, and the outlet of the chamber communicating with the upstream space for any position of the valve other than its end position, wherein the valve includes a diaphragm movable in translation with respect to the hollow body and at least one elastic tab attaching the valve to the hollow or substantially annular member, wherein the hollow or substantially annular member, the valve, and each elastic tab are integrally made from an elastic material, wherein the return force is exerted by each elastic tab, and wherein, once the rise in pressure is released, air enters the chamber via the outlet of the chamber. 2. A metering device according to claim 1, wherein the metering device includes two elastic tabs diametrically opposite to each other. 3. A metering device according to claim 1, wherein the hollow or substantially annular member is composed of the hollow body. 4. A metering device according to claim 1, further including a plug inserted into said hollow body, the plug being bored to provide a flow-through opening forming the outlet of the chamber. 5. A metering device according to claim 4, further including a piston and a spring, wherein the piston is slidingly mounted inside the hollow body and bears the valve, and wherein the spring is preloaded in compression and disposed between the plug and the piston. 6. A metering device according to claim 5, wherein the hollow or substantially annular member is composed of the piston. 7. A metering device according to claim 1, further including a container including a neck, the container being intended for containing the fluid and delimiting a variable volume upstream space, the fluid pressure rise being obtained by reducing the volume of the upstream space, and in that the hollow body is sealingly disposed in the neck of the container.
