1. A fastener assembly ( 1 , 2 ) for fastening a fluid dispenser member ( 3 ) designed to be associated with a neck ( 51 ) of a receptacle ( 5 ), said assembly comprising:
a fastener ring ( 1 ) provided with securing means ( 10 ) for securing the ring to the receptacle neck, and fastener means ( 11 ) for fastening the dispenser member ( 3 ); and
a trim band ( 2 ) mounted around the ring ( 1 ) in a manner such as to mask said ring at least in part;
said fastener assembly being characterized in that said band is made of at least two distinct materials, said two materials comprising a metal material ( 20 ) and a plastics material ( 21 ).
2. A fastener assembly according to claim 1 , in which the band ( 2 ) includes a metal insert ( 20 ) suitable for being held securely in contact with the plastics material ( 21 ).
3. A fastener assembly according to claim 2 , in which the plastics material ( 21 ) forms a drum covering said metal insert ( 20 ) at least in part.
4. A fastener assembly according to claim 3 , in which the metal insert ( 20 ) is embedded entirely in the plastics drum ( 21 ).
5. A fastener assembly according to claim 3 , in which the metal insert ( 20 ) forms a sleeve that is concentric with said plastics drum ( 21 ).
6. A fastener assembly according to claim 2 , in which said plastics material ( 21 ) is overmolded on said metal insert ( 20 ).
7. A fastener assembly according to claim 5 , in which the metal sleeve ( 20 ) defines a wall that is preferably substantially cylindrical, said wall being provided with at least one through opening ( 200 ), the opening having an outside edge ( 202 ) and an inside edge ( 203 ), the plastics material of which the drum ( 21 ) is made penetrating into said openings while covering at least one edge of each of said openings, thereby guaranteeing that the sleeve ( 20 ) is anchored securely in said drum ( 21 ).
8. A fastener assembly according to claim 7 , in which the plastics material ( 21 ) extends through said opening ( 200 ) and projects radially inwards beyond the inside edge ( 203 ) of the opening.
9. A fastener assembly according to claim 7 , in which the plastics material ( 21 ) remains radially set back inside the opening ( 200 ) 50 that the inside edge ( 203 ) of the opening remains uncovered.
10. A fastener assembly according to claim 1 , in which the band ( 2 ) is provided with a holding profile ( 201 ; 210 ) suitable for coming into engagement with a setback ( 12 ) formed by the ring.
11. A fastener assembly according to claim 10 , in which the holding profile ( 210 ) is formed by the drum ( 21 ) made of a plastics material.
12. A fastener assembly according to claim 10 , in which the holding profile ( 201 ) is formed by the metal insert ( 20 ).
13. A fastener assembly according to claim 2 , in which the insert has an outside surface that is entirely covered with plastics material.
14. A fastener assembly according to claim 1 , in which the metal material ( 20 ) forms a metal sleeve defining an inside wall, the plastics material ( 21 ) being overmolded on the inside wall, the plastics material advantageously forming a projecting profile ( 214 ), such as a thread.
15. The fastener assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid dispenser is a pump or a valve.
16. The fastener assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the projecting profile is a thread.
17. A fastener assembly for fastening a fluid dispenser member to a neck of a receptacle, the assembly comprising:
a ring configured to grasp and be secured to the receptacle neck and configured to secure the dispenser member; and
a trim band mounted around the ring so as to mask the ring at least in part; and
wherein the band comprises metal and plastic materials; and
wherein the metal and plastic materials are mounted around the ring.
18. The fastener assembly according to claim 17 , wherein the metal and plastic materials when mounted are disposed radially outside the ring.
19. The fastener assembly according to claim 17 , wherein the plastic material is overmolded on the metal material.
