Abstract

Dispositif applicateur pour liquide comportant un conteneur (1) pour le liquide à appliquer sur une surface à traiter et un dôme distributeur (9) relié audit conteneur par une tête de distribution (7, 8, 10), le dôme distributeur (9) étant réalisé en un matériau poreux adapté à l'application du liquide par simple frottement de la face externe (9a) dudit dôme (9) sur la surface à traiter, le conteneur étant un réservoir (1) pressurisé équipé d'une valve de distribution (4), le dôme distributeur (9) étant porté par un support (8), qui constitue un élément de la tête de distribution et est mécaniquement lié à un embout (13) apte à coopérer avec ladite valve (4) pour provoquer son ouverture sous l'action d'une sollicitation mécanique exercée sur le dôme distributeur (9), le liquide éjecté hors du réservoir (1) pendant ladite ouverture étant canalisé à travers ledit embout (13) vers la face (9b) du dôme distributeur (9) qui est opposée à la face externe (9a) dudit dôme (9), la tête de distribution comportant un organe d'accrochage (7) permettant de solidariser ladite tête avec le réservoir (1) et l'organe d'accrochage étant une jupe rigide (7) fixée sur le réservoir (1) par encliquetage d'une zone d'encliquetage (11), caractérisé par le fait que le matériau poreux, dont est constitué le dôme distributeur (9), est un fritté non déformable.
