- a pressurization channel 61 is formed in the tubular part 58 and opens out at one or more orifices 62, said pressurization channel 61 also opening out into the orifice 54.
- the orifices 62 are intended to be housed in the reservoir 3. , so as to pressurize the internal volume of said tank 3, using the pressurized gas coming from the pressurized gas tank 56.
- a sleeve 63 is also mounted in a housing 64 of the tubular part 58, the sampling part 61 being engaged in a sealed manner in the upper end of the sleeve 63.
- a seal 65 here a seal. toric 65.
- a valve 66 is mounted at the lower end of the sleeve 63, this valve 66 being movable between a high closed position of the lower end of the sleeve 63, illustrated in Figures 25 and 26, and a low open position from said end.
- the valve 66 is kept resting on said end of the sleeve 63, in the closed position of said end, by means of an elastic return member 67, here a helical compression spring 67.
- the valve here belongs to the device 18. It is also possible to consider that, given the position of the valve inside the reservoir 3, it belongs to the reservoir. This is only a question of definition, but it does not change the actual structure or the functioning of the whole.
- valve 66 has a lower closure part 66a and an upper guide part 66b.
- the guide portion 66b is perforated to allow the introduction of fluid from the reservoir 3 and the dip tube 59 into the sleeve 63.
- the guide portion 66b comprises for example arms 67, here three arms 67, regularly distributed and angularly spaced from each other.
- Each arm 67 has a radially outer surface 68 in the form of a cylinder portion, of complementary shape to the surface. internal of the sleeve 63.
- the arms 67 thus make it possible to guide the valve 66 relative to the lower end of the sleeve 63, so as to allow its opening in operation.
- the reservoir 3 is pressurized with the aid of the pressurized gas contained in the reservoir 56, through the connection 57, the pipe 55, the orifice 54, the channel 61 and orifice (s) 62.
- a user actuates the lever 43 with the aid of a container 48, which has the effect of moving the nozzle 25 downwards, and in particular the sampling part 31, as already described above.
