Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé, selon lequel le produit (27) à distribuer est acheminé vers un contenant (13) de compensation. Un levier (39) d'actionnement injecte, dans une première section du trajet et au moyen d'une pompe (35), de l'air dans le contenant (13) de compensation, expulsant ainsi de ce dernier une portion de produit (27) par le tube (26) dispensateur. Toujours dans cette première section de trajet, une seconde pompe (36) est remplie d'air et un ressort (65) est tendu. Le levier (41) de transfert qui prend la forme d'un levier à genouillère et relie le levier (39) d'actionnement à la seconde pompe (36) par l'intermédiaire d'un levier à cliquet (47), fléchit par compression à la fin de cette première section du trajet. Le ressort (65) préalablement tendu expulse de l'air de la pompe (36) vers le tube (26) dispensateur, éjectant ainsi brusquement le résidu de produit s'y trouvant.
