Valve gasket for a metering valve

The present invention relates to an improved valve gasket for a metering valve, and to a fluid dispenser device including a metering valve provided with such an improved valve gasket. A valve gasket for a metering valve serving to dispense a fluid, in particular a powder dispersed in a propellant gas, the metering valve including a valve body defining a metering chamber, and a valve rod mounted to slide in the metering chamber between a rest position and an actuating position, the sealing between the valve rod and the metering chamber being provided by the valve gasket, the valve body being fixed in a fixing cap serving to assemble the valve onto a fluid reservoir, the valve gasket being provided with a radially inside contact zone over which the valve rod slides, the contact zone being fixed to a rigid element so that, while the valve rod is moving, the contact zone of the valve gasket remains substantially unchanging in terms of its shape and of its position, the contact zone having a profile that is rounded at least in part, so as to reduce the area of contact between the valve gasket and the valve rod, the rigid element being an integral part of the fixing cap, and in particular the inside radial edge thereof.
