L'invention a notamment pour objet de fournir un moyen de massage permettant d'appliquer du froid de manière durable tout au long du massage. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de massage comportant un corps et un organe d'application destiné à être mis au contact d'une surface à masser, cet organe d'application étant retenu mobile dans ledit corps, le dispositif comportant des moyens de refroidissement comportant des moyens de détente d'un gaz réfrigérant liquéfié directement au contact de l'organe d'application.The object of the invention is in particular to provide a massage means for applying cold in a lasting manner throughout the massage. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a massage device comprising a body and an applicator member intended to be brought into contact with a surface to be massaged, this applicator member being held movable in said body, the device comprising cooling means comprising means for expanding a liquefied refrigerant gas directly in contact with the applicator member.
Avantageusement, le dispositif selon l'invention peut être configuré pour permettre la détente du gaz réfrigérant directement contre la surface à masser.Advantageously, the device according to the invention can be configured to allow the expansion of the refrigerant gas directly against the surface to be massaged.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de refroidissement peuvent comporter un bidon de stockage du gaz sous forme liquide sur lequel vient se monter le corps. Le bidon peut être équipée d'une valve d'actionnement. La valve peut être munie d'une tige à actionnement par enfoncement axial.According to an advantageous embodiment, the cooling means may comprise a gas storage container in liquid form on which the body is mounted. The can can be equipped with an actuating valve. The valve may be provided with an axially depressed rod.
Les moyens de refroidissement comportent de préférence un conduit de circulation dudit gaz débouchant en regard de l'organe d'application. L'organe d'application est par exemple disposé en regard d'une première extrémité libre du conduit. La diffusion de produit au niveau de l'extrémité libre est par centrée sur le barycentre de l'organe d'application. Le cas échéant, ledit conduit est en communication fluidique avec la valve au niveau d'une deuxième extrémité libre du conduit opposée à la première extrémité. La deuxième extrémité du conduit est alors par exemple pourvue d'une tête qui vient se monter sur la valve.The cooling means preferably comprise a circulation duct of said gas opening opposite the applicator member. The applicator member is for example arranged facing a first free end of the duct. The product diffusion at the free end is centered on the barycenter of the applicator member. Where appropriate, said conduit is in fluid communication with the valve at a second free end of the conduit opposite the first end. The The second end of the duct is then for example provided with a head which is mounted on the valve.
Le dispositif peut comporter une pluralité d'organes d'application mobiles retenus dans le corps. Avantageusement, dans ce cas, le conduit comporte autant de premières extrémités libres qu'il y a d'organes d'application, chacune débouchant en regard de l'un des organes d'application et étant en communication avec la valve.The device may include a plurality of movable delivery members retained in the body. Advantageously, in this case, the conduit has as many first free ends as there are application members, each opening facing one of the application members and being in communication with the valve.
La première extrémité peut être de forme générale concave complémentaire de celle de l'organe d'application. Selon un mode de réalisation, l'organe d'application peut être un applicateur à bille. Dans ce cas, de préférence, la bille de l'applicateur est réalisée en matériau métallique.The first end may be of generally concave shape complementary to that of the applicator member. According to one embodiment, the applicator member may be a ball applicator. In this case, preferably, the ball of the applicator is made of metallic material.
Avantageusement, le dispositif peut comporter une enveloppe externe dans laquelle sont placés les moyens de refroidissement. La préhension du dispositif est ainsi facilitée et évite le contact direct avec le bidon qui peut être froid, le cas échéant.Advantageously, the device may comprise an outer envelope in which the cooling means are placed. The gripping of the device is thus facilitated and avoids direct contact with the can which can be cold, if any.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un distributeur de produit cosmétique, du type comportant des moyens de refroidissement servant à refroidir le produit lors de son application.More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic product dispenser, of the type comprising cooling means for cooling the product during its application.
Il est en effet souhaitable, dans certains cas, de réfrigérer un produit cosmétique pour son application afin d'en accroître l'effet ou donner une sensation de fraîcheur et de confort lors de l'application.It is indeed desirable, in some cases, to refrigerate a cosmetic product for its application to increase the effect or give a feeling of freshness and comfort during application.
C'est la raison pour laquelle lorsqu'un utilisateur ou une utilisatrice souhaite appliquer sur sa peau un produit cosmétique préalablement refroidi, il le conserve parfois dans son réfrigérateur. Mais lorsque le produit doit être appliqué à l'extérieur, le produit qui a été refroidi se réchauffe rapidement, en particulier lorsque la température ambiante est élevée, de sorte que le produit ne confère plus l'effet rafraîchissant recherché.This is the reason why when a user wishes to apply a previously cooled cosmetic product to his skin, he sometimes keeps it in his refrigerator. But when the product has to be applied externally, the product which has been cooled heats up rapidly, especially when the ambient temperature is high, so that the product no longer gives the desired cooling effect.
Des distributeurs de produit incorporant un dispositif de refroidissement ont été développés afin de pallier cet inconvénient.Product distributors incorporating a cooling device have been developed to overcome this disadvantage.
On pourra à cet égard se référer à la demande de brevet internationale
Ce distributeur comporte un premier récipient contenant le produit à appliquer et un deuxième récipient contenant un gaz réfrigérant. Dans le dispositif décrit dans ce document, le produit à distribuer circule le long d'un serpentin de refroidissement dans un conduit disposé dans le serpentin. Le serpentin et le conduit sont tous deux disposés dans un bouton poussoir qui sert à actionner deux valves distributrices montées l'une sur le récipient de stockage du produit et l'autre sur le récipient de stockage du gaz réfrigérant.This dispenser comprises a first container containing the product to be applied and a second container containing a refrigerant gas. In the device described in this document, the product to be dispensed circulates along a cooling coil in a conduit disposed in the coil. Both the coil and the conduit are disposed in a push button which serves to actuate two dispensing valves mounted one on the product storage container and the other on the refrigerant storage container.
Ce type de dispositif permet de réfrigérer une dose de produit cosmétique lors de son application mais dans un agencement encombrant et, par conséquent, peu commode à utiliser.This type of device allows to refrigerate a dose of cosmetic product during its application but in a cumbersome arrangement and, therefore, inconvenient to use.
En outre, le distributeur décrit dans cette demande de brevet internationale
On pourra également se référer au document
Cet ensemble pose un problème dans la mesure où le refroidissement ne peut être obtenu que lorsque le bâton est en position de stockage. Le refroidissement ne peut être obtenu lorsque le bâton est en position d'utilisation.This assembly poses a problem insofar as the cooling can be obtained only when the stick is in the storage position. Cooling can not be achieved when the stick is in the use position.
En outre, l'ensemble décrit dans ce document n'est adapté que pour refroidir un bâton de rouge à lèvre coiffé par un capot.In addition, the assembly described in this document is only suitable for cooling a stick of lipstick capped by a hood.
On pourra enfin se référer à la demande de brevet
Le dispositif de refroidissement comporte un récipient pressurisé contenant un produit réfrigérant et un support pour recevoir le dispositif de conditionnement à refroidir. Le support est monté sur une valve dont est équipé le récipient pressurisé et est agencé de sorte que le produit réfrigérant est amené contre un pourtour extérieur du dispositif de conditionnement.The cooling device comprises a pressurized container containing a refrigerant and a support for receiving the conditioning device to be cooled. The support is mounted on a valve which is equipped with the pressurized container and is arranged so that the refrigerant is brought against an outer periphery of the conditioning device.
Mais ce dispositif de refroidissement ne s'applique essentiellement que pour un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit agencé sous la forme d'une coupelle formant un réservoir empli du produit à appliquer. Il est inadapté pour refroidir un produit destiné à être appliqué au moyen d'un applicateur tel qu'une bille ou un tambour rotatif.But this cooling device applies essentially only for a device for packaging a product arranged in the form of a cup forming a reservoir filled with the product to be applied. It is unsuitable for cooling a product intended to be applied by means of an applicator such as a ball or a rotating drum.
Au vu de ce qui précède, l'invention vise à proposer un distributeur de produit du type précité, d'encombrement réduit, et dans lequel les moyens de refroidissement sont tels qu'ils permettent l'application d'un produit cosmétique réfrigéré utilisant tous types d'organes d'application.In view of the foregoing, the invention aims at providing a product dispenser of the aforementioned type, of reduced size, and in which the cooling means are such that they allow the application of a refrigerated cosmetic product using all types of enforcement bodies.
L'invention a ainsi pour objet un distributeur de produit, notamment d'un produit cosmétique, comprenant :
- un réservoir destiné à contenir le produit ;
- un dispositif de massage selon l'invention, dans lequel le réservoir est défini autour d'une partie des moyens de refroidissement, l'organe d'application étant en communication fluidique avec ledit réservoir.
- a reservoir for containing the product;
- a massage device according to the invention, wherein the reservoir is defined around a part of the cooling means, the applicator member being in fluid communication with said reservoir.
Selon une caractéristique générale du distributeur selon l'invention, les moyens de refroidissement sont adaptés pour refroidir directement l'organe d'application.According to a general characteristic of the dispenser according to the invention, the cooling means are adapted to directly cool the applicator member.
Ainsi, grâce à cet agencement, il n'est plus nécessaire de prévoir un serpentin de refroidissement encombrant, le refroidissement étant essentiellement mis en oeuvre en abaissant la température de l'organe d'application du produit.Thus, thanks to this arrangement, it is no longer necessary to provide a bulky cooling coil, the cooling being essentially implemented by lowering the temperature of the product application member.
Le réservoir, monté autour du conduit de circulation du gaz, peut être délimité par le corps et un fond rapporté et pourvu d'un orifice pour le passage du conduit, une ouverture de distribution du réservoir étant définie autour de la première extrémité libre du conduit.The tank, mounted around the gas circulation duct, may be delimited by the body and an attached bottom and provided with an orifice for passage of the duct, a dispensing opening of the tank being defined around the first free end of the duct. .
Avantageusement, le corps comporte une première partie de dimension radiale supérieure à celle d'une seconde partie, les parties étant séparées par un épaulement médian périphérique.Advantageously, the body has a first part of radial dimension greater than that of a second part, the parts being separated by a peripheral median shoulder.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé d'application d'un produit, notamment d'un produit cosmétique, contenu dans un distributeur équipé d'un réservoir contenant le produit, d'un organe d'application du produit qui communique avec le réservoir et de moyens de refroidissement pour refroidir le produit lors de son application.The subject of the invention is also a process for applying a product, in particular a cosmetic product, contained in a dispenser equipped with a reservoir containing the product, with a product application member that communicates with the product. reservoir and cooling means for cooling the product during its application.
Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce qu'au cours de l'application, on refroidit directement l'organe d'application.This process is characterized in that during the application, the application member is directly cooled.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit et à l'examen des figures qui l'accompagnent. Celles ci ne sont présentées qu'à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif de l'invention. Les figures montrent :
- Figure 1 : une vue en perspective d'un dispositif de massage réfrigérant selon l'invention ;
- Figure 2 : une vue en perspective partielle du dispositif de la figure 1 ;
- Figure 3 : une vue en coupe longitudinale du dispositif de la figure 1 ;
- Figure 4 : une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un distributeur de produit conforme à l'invention.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerant massage device according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of the device of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device of Figure 1;
- Figure 4: a longitudinal sectional view of a product dispenser according to the invention.
La figure 1 montre un dispositif de massage 1 selon l'invention. Ce dispositif 1 comporte un organe d'application 3 et un corps 4. L'organe d'application est retenu libre en rotation dans le corps 4, de telle sorte qu'il peut être entraîné en rotation lorsqu'il est mis au contact d'une surface à masser. Un tel dispositif 1 est en particulier utile pour masser la peau, et plus particulièrement le cuir chevelu.Figure 1 shows a
Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, le dispositif 1 comporte trois organes d'application tels que 3. Ces organes d'application prennent la forme de billes métalliques retenues libres en rotation dans des logements respectivement 50 du corps 4.In the embodiment of Figures 1 to 3, the
Le dispositif 1 comporte des moyens de refroidissement 51 comportant essentiellement un bidon de gaz liquéfié 10 dans lequel est stocké un gaz de refroidissement sous pression. On utilisera, par exemple, un gaz qui a la propriété de se trouver à l'état liquide lorsqu'il est sous pression dans le bidon et de se vaporiser et de se refroidir lorsqu'il se détend. Un hydrocarbure, par exemple le butane 3,2, le diméthyléther, ou encore un fréon, par exemple le HFC 134a pourront être utilisés pour refroidir la bille.The
Le bidon 10 comporte essentiellement une paroi extérieure cylindrique 52 munie d'une extrémité proximale fermée 53 et d'une extrémité distale 54 obturée par une coupelle C sertie sur un bord roulé du corps. La paroi cylindrique comporte un axe longitudinal X-X', qui correspond sensiblement à un axe de symétrie du dispositif 1.The
Le bidon 10 est également doté d'une valve distributrice 11 sertie sur la coupelle C. La valve 11 est avantageusement constituée par une valve à actionnement par enfoncement. Elle est dotée d'une tige d'actionnement creuse destinée à distribuer le gaz réfrigérant lorsqu'elle est enfoncée.The
On notera que, de préférence, la valve 11 est constituée par une valve doseuse pour permettre la distribution d'une dose de gaz réfrigérant à chaque pression de la valve et éviter de vider le récipient lors d'un seul actionnement.Note that, preferably, the
Un conduit de circulation 12 est formé entre une pièce 55 montée sur la tige d'actionnement et le corps 4. Ce conduit de circulation 12 débouche en regard de l'organe d'application, et le cas échéant de chacun des organes d'application. Cette pièce 55 comporte un canal 56 formant une partie du conduit de circulation 12. Dans l'exemple de réalisation présenté Figures 2 et 3, ce canal 56 débouche dans respectivement trois rainures 57 équiréparties et formées dans le corps 4 et débouchant respectivement dans chacun des logements 50 afin de refroidir le pourtour extérieur des organes d'application qui y sont respectivement logés. La face du corps 4 présentant les rainures 57est appliquée contre une face plane de la pièce 55 de sorte que le conduit de circulation se ramifie en trois branches.A
La pièce 55 comporte une tête de montage 14 configurée pour être montée serrante autour de la tige d'actionnement de la valve 11. Cette tête de montage 14 est définie en regard du canal 56. La tête de montage est formée dans un plateau 58 de la pièce 55. Une enveloppe externe 59 est dressée sur ce plateau 58 de manière à définir un logement à l'intérieur duquel le bidon 10 peut être masqué.The
Le bidon 10 est monté libre en translation à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe externe 59 de telle sorte qu'un actionnement de la valve 11 est obtenu en exerçant une pression sur l'extrémité proximale fermée 53 du bidon 10. L'actionnement est obtenu d'un mouvement relatif entre le bidon et l'enveloppe externe 49. En l'occurrence, l'extrémité proximale fermée 53 dépasse axialement de l'enveloppe externe 59 d'une longueur correspondant à la course selon laquelle la tige d'actionnement peut être déplacée relativement au corps de la valve 11.The
L'utilisation d'un tel dispositif est de préférence réalisée en deux temps. En effet, dans un premier temps, la valve est actionnée, du gaz réfrigérant se libère et se propage dans le conduit de circulation 12, le flux de gaz réfrigérant est amené sur les organes d'application, qui sont alors progressivement refroidi. Ensuite, dans un deuxième temps, l'utilisateur saisit l'enveloppe externe et exerce un massage de la peau au moyen des organes d'application refroidi, qui peuvent être entraînés en rotation du fait de ce contact. Lorsqu'il effectue le massage, le gaz réfrigérant n'est pas distribué.The use of such a device is preferably carried out in two stages. Indeed, initially, the valve is actuated, refrigerant gas is released and propagates in the
En variante du mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 3, l'enveloppe externe peut être moins longue de telle sorte que l'enveloppe externe 49 n'entoure qu'une portion axiale du bidon 10. Dans une telle configuration, en fonction de la zone saisie de l'enveloppe externe 49 ou du bidon 10 émergeant, l'utilisateur peut ou non obtenir une distribution de produit réfrigérant en même temps que le massage.As a variant of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, the outer envelope may be shorter so that the outer envelope 49 surrounds only an axial portion of the
Sur la figure 4, on a représenté un distributeur 100 de produit cosmétique conforme à l'invention, en position d'utilisation. Le distributeur 100 comporte un axe général de symétrie X-X' supposé vertical. Il est destiné à appliquer un produit cosmétique refroidi, tel qu'une crème. A cet effet, le distributeur 100 comporte un dispositif 1 selon l'invention.In Figure 4, there is shown a dispenser 100 of cosmetic product according to the invention, in use position. The distributor 100 has a general axis of symmetry X-X 'supposed vertical. It is intended to apply a cooled cosmetic product, such as a cream. For this purpose, the dispenser 100 comprises a
Par « produit cosmétique » on entend un produit tel que défini dans la Directive 93/35/CEE du Conseil du 14 juin 1993. Mais l'invention peut également s'appliquer à d'autres produits, en fonction de l'application envisagée."Cosmetic product" means a product as defined in Council Directive 93/35 / EEC of 14 June 1993. However, the invention may also be applied to other products, depending on the intended application.
Le distributeur 100 comporte un réservoir 2 préalablement empli du produit à distribuer. Le réservoir 2 est formé entre le corps 4 et la pièce 55. La pièce 55 se présente, dans ce mode de réalisation, sous la forme d'un tube. L'organe d'application 3 est monté sur le réservoir 2, entre une extrémité libre 15 de la pièce 55, opposée à la tête d'accrochage 14, et une ouverture délimitée par le logement 50 formé dans le corps 4.The dispenser 100 comprises a
L'organe d'application 3 permet d'appliquer le produit prélevé à sa surface lorsqu'il est entraîné en rotation relativement au réservoir 2. L'organe d'application 3 se présente ici sous la forme d'une bille 8. Le distributeur 100 est pourvu de moyens de refroidissement destinés à refroidir la bille 8 lors de l'application du produit.The
Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, l'organe d'application 3 est un applicateur à bille de type « roll on ». Toutefois, l'invention s'applique également aux distributeurs de produit pourvus de tout autre type d'organe d'application, tels qu'un rouleau applicateur, qui peut être réalisé en mousse ou en tout autre matériau perméable au produit à appliquer.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the
Comme on le voit sur la figure 4, le corps 4 délimite intérieurement le volume de stockage du produit. Il comporte une zone proximale renflée 5 généralement cylindrique assurant essentiellement le stockage du produit et une zone distale de section rétrécie 6 également de forme générale cylindrique et de diamètre interne correspondant à celui de la bille 8. Le logement 50 pour la bille 8 est formé dans la zone distale rétrécie 6.As seen in Figure 4, the
Les zones proximale et distale sont séparées par un épaulement médian 7 annulaire en forme de cône tronqué de section régulièrement décroissante de la zone renflée 5 vers la zone rétrécie 6. Comme cela sera indiqué par la suite, cet épaulement peut être utilisé pour former un siège de réception d'un capot. Il a également pour fonction de conduire le produit vers la zone rétrécie 6.The proximal and distal regions are separated by a truncated cone-shaped annular
La surface périphérique interne de la zone distale rétrécie 6 est pourvue d'une portion annulaire concave 9 de forme générale complémentaire de celle de la bille 8 de l'applicateur 3. La portion annulaire concave 9 est conformée de manière à maintenir la bille 8 dans le corps 4, tout en autorisant une rotation de la bille et un déplacement axial limité de la bille. Cette portion annulaire concave définit un fond du logement 50. Elle est par exemple réalisée sous la forme d'un embout emmanché dans l'extrémité distale du corps 4 ou y être maintenu par tout autre moyen approprié. Avantageusement, cette portion annulaire 9 favorise l'enduction en couche fine de produit sur le pourtour extérieur de la bille 8.Cette portion annulaire 9 s'étend autour de l'extrémité libre 15 de la pièce 55 sous forme de tube.The inner peripheral surface of the narrowed distal zone 6 is provided with a concave
Dans cet exemple de réalisation, le conduit interne 12, délimité par le tube 55, et à l'extrémité duquel repose la bille 8 est généralement rectiligne et coaxial au corps 4. Il s'étend d'un fond 13 rapporté sur le corps 4. Le fond 13 coopère avec le pourtour extérieur de la pièce 55 pour assurer une fermeture étanche de récipient 2.In this embodiment, the
La pièce 55 s'étend à travers le fond 13 et se prolonge extérieurement par une tête 14 mont sur la valve 11.The
L'extrémité distale de la pièce 55 a une forme globalement concave complémentaire de celle de la bille 3. Cette extrémité forme ainsi un siège sur lequel repose la bille 8.The distal end of the
Comme indiqué précédemment, le bidon 10 est empli d'un gaz liquéfié sous pression apte à se refroidir par détente. La bille, quant à elle, est de préférence réalisée en matériau métallique capable de se refroidir aisément sous l'effet du gaz issu du conduit 12. Elle est capable de se déplacer en rotation dans la portion annulaire d'extrémité distale du corps 4.As indicated above, the
Lors de l'utilisation, lorsque la bille 8 est déplacée sur une surface d'application, c'est-à-dire sur l'épiderme d'un utilisateur, la bille est entraînée en rotation. La rotation de la bille provoque un prélèvement de produit, du côté du volume interne de réservoir 2 et, de l'autre côté, l'application du produit prélevé sur l'épiderme.In use, when the
Simultanément, au contact de la surface d'application, lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur la bille, la bille étant solidaire en translation du corps 4 et de la pièce 55, un actionnement de la valve 11 peut être obtenu du fait d'un déplacement relatif du bidon 10 relativement à la bille 8.Simultaneously, in contact with the application surface, when a pressure is applied on the ball, the ball being integral in translation with the
Lorsque l'effort appliqué sur la valve est suffisant pour provoquer son actionnement, du gaz liquéfié est délivré et se détend dans le conduit 12. Sous l'action de la détente, le gaz liquéfié se vaporise et se refroidit. Le gaz refroidit est alors conduit vers la bille 8. Cette bille 8, ainsi que le produit prélevé au moment de la rotation de cette dernière sur l'épiderme sont alors refroidis.When the force applied to the valve is sufficient to cause its actuation, liquefied gas is delivered and expands in the
Comme indiqué précédemment, l'application du produit refroidi permet de procurer un effet rafraîchissant à l'application. En outre, lorsque le produit appliqué est un produit traitant, par exemple une crème anti-rides, l'efficacité immédiate du produit appliqué à froid est améliorée, les molécules constitutives du produit se rétractant et pénétrant mieux dans l'épiderme.As indicated above, the application of the cooled product provides a cooling effect to the application. In addition, when the applied product is a treatment product, for example an anti-wrinkle cream, the immediate effectiveness of the cold applied product is improved, the constituent molecules of the product retracting and penetrating better into the epidermis.
On notera que, lors de la circulation du gaz refroidi dans le conduit 12, le produit emplissant le réservoir 2 est de fait simultanément refroidi, en particulier au niveau de l'espace confiné délimité par la portion rétrécie 6, par échange de calories au travers de la paroi du tube formé par la pièce 55.It will be noted that, during the circulation of the cooled gas in the
Comme indiqué précédemment, l'invention s'applique à tous types d'organes d'application. On notera cependant que l'utilisation d'une bille refroidie permet d'obtenir une précision d'application accrue.As indicated above, the invention applies to all types of application members. It will be noted however that the use of a cooled ball makes it possible to obtain an increased application precision.
Par exemple, le corps 4, ainsi que la pièce 55 sont réalisés en matière thermoplastique. Tout type de matière thermoplastique peut être utilisé à cet égard. Ainsi, les acryliques, les cellulosiques, les polycarbonates, les polyamides, les styrènes, les polyoléfines, les vinyles, les PEPT et les mélanges en proportions variables de ces matériaux, expansés ou non, peuvent convenir.For example, the
On notera enfin que l'invention permet d'obtenir un distributeur de produit cosmétique de volume relativement compact.Finally, it will be noted that the invention makes it possible to obtain a cosmetic product dispenser of relatively compact volume.
Ainsi, l'ensemble constitué par le réservoir 2 et le bidon 10 peut être disposé dans une enveloppe, par exemple en matière synthétique, sous la forme d'un stylo applicateur pourvu d'un capot amovible venant reposer sur l'épaulement annulaire 7 du corps 4. On obtient alors un ensemble particulièrement compact pouvant être aisément transporté.Thus, the assembly constituted by the
Dans ce cas, on réalisera le réservoir 2 sous une forme globalement cylindrique inscrit dans le maître-couple du bidon 10. On pourra également réaliser le bidon 10 sous la forme d'un élément rechargeable pouvant être extrait de l'enveloppe pour être rechargé.In this case, the
Dans toute la description, l'expression « comportant un » doit être considérée comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, the phrase "having one" should be considered synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
