Therefore, the two surfaces 14a, 14b of the assembly 4 tend, under the effect of gravity, respectively to bear against the surfaces 16a, 16b during transport. As previously indicated, the biplane side contact is sought to preserve the integrity of the fuel during transport.

  • the device 20 is shown in a configuration in which the positioning of the assembly 4 within its housing 1 is such that the transport is prohibited, this state being met in particular when the assembly 4 has just been loaded into the housing 1 but that the tightening of the locking system 6 was not operated, or when the tightening was performed but the assembly 4 occupies, due to any anomaly, a different end position than required. Moreover, this state can also be met before the loading of the assembly 4 in the housing 1.
  • the figure 3 partially shows the assembly 4 in a position corresponding to that occupied directly after the loading thereof and before tightening the system 6, in which position it rests at the bottom of the housing 1.
  • control device 20 is preferably designed to control the axial positioning of the assembly, as well as its lateral positioning in two distinct directions, which are here orthogonal because of the orthogonality between the two side surfaces 14a, 14b whose contact with the wall of the housing 1 is to be controlled.
  • This positioning indicator 30 may be made in any way known to those skilled in the art, by combining it with a marking made on a support of the indicator which is here the plate 22, this marking may for example take the form of a graduation, a color code, and more generally any form allowing the operator to visually determine the position of the indicator, and therefore that of the assembly within the housing.

This is the reason why the assembly 4 occupies an axial positioning prohibiting the transport, which results in the absence of contact between the upper surface 9 of the nozzle 11 and a lower horizontal surface 36 of the plate 22, these two surfaces 9, 36 then being oriented perpendicular to the direction 8.
  • the axial pusher 24 is therefore in its lowest position provided by elastic return means preferably taking the form of a compression spring 40 interposed between the plate 22 and the lower end 38, and by a shoulder 42. limiting the stroke of this pusher 24 downwards by its support against a seat 44 formed in an upper portion of the plate 22.

  • a storage basket such as for example a box of pencils, and preferably having a polygonal section, such as a square.
  • control device can not only be integrated with a locking system intended to equip a given housing of the storage basket, but could alternatively be mounted directly on the latter.
  • the two preferred embodiments presented above are designed in such a way that they make it possible to indicate to an operator that the assembly is either in a positioning prohibiting the transport (after the loading the assembly, and translating unsatisfactory contact (s)), either in a position allowing transport (after tightening the locking device, and translating satisfactory contacts), or possibly in a position allowing its unloading (after the transport and loosening of the locking system, and reflecting the deposit of the assembly in the bottom of the housing), the invention also applies to devices designed to only indicate a positioning prohibiting unloading and a positioning allowing the unloading the assembly.
  • the design device similar to one of those presented above is made so that the passage of the entire positioning prohibiting the unloading to the positioning allowing the unloading is identical to the passage previously described of the positioning authorizing transportation the positioning authorizing unloading, since in both cases, the assembly passes from a state in which it is distant from the bottom of the housing to a state in which it is in contact with the same bottom or very close to it .
