- the opening 21 of the first compartment 11 is provided on the same side of the tank 10 as the end 22 of the second compartment 12 which receives the closure means.
- closure means 50 are shown in Figures 2.1, 2.2 and Figure 3.
- these closure means 50 are rotatable. They comprise a first connecting member 52 adapted to cooperate in rotation with the end 22 of the second compartment 12, and a second portion in the form of a cover 51, integral with the connecting member 52.
- This connecting member 52 provides the connection between the cover 51 and the reservoir 10. Note that it is able to close the opening 21 of the first compartment 11 by rotation of the closure means 50 around the end 22 of the second compartment 12.
- the closure means 50 as can be seen in Figure 2.2, are preferably substantially planar shapes.
- the closure means 50 may consist of two circular parts overlapping as can be seen at Figure 2.1 with a general shape of "8", the first circular portion constituting the cover 51, and covering the opening 21 of the first compartment 11, and the second circular portion corresponding to the connecting member 52 which is mounted on the end 22 of the second compartment 12.
- the closure means 50 rotate on the end 22 of the second compartment 12 in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical portions of the first and second compartments.
- the connecting member 52 of the closure means 50 comprises latching elements, here two separate elements 54 and 56, which extend in a direction substantially normal to the main direction of the second compartment 12
- latching elements 54 and 56 which can also be provided in greater numbers, describe a cylinder portion also extending substantially normal to the main direction of the second compartment 12, and are inserted into the cylindrical housing 24 which is of complementary shape to the cylinder portion described by the detent elements, so that these the last ones are snap-fastened.
- retaining elements, respectively 541 and 561 are provided at the free end of the latching elements 54 and 56. These retention elements 541 and 561 cooperate with a guide (not visible in Figure 1.1) arranged inside the complementary cylindrical portion 24 provided at the end 22 of the second compartment 12.
- This guide can take the form a circular bead protruding inside the complementary cylindrical portion 24.
- the latching elements 54 and 56 provided on the connecting member 52 must then be long enough that, during the insertion of these elements 54 and 56 in the complementary cylindrical housing 24, the retaining elements 541 and 561 extend just beyond the bead-shaped guide, and thus prevent any accidental extraction of the closure means 50.
- the rotation of the closing means 50 is possible by sliding the retention elements 541 and 561 on the bead-shaped guide.
- the latching elements 54 and 56 must have a certain flexibility in order to be able to slightly bend and thus be inscribed in a reduced diameter, until the final insertion position is reached inside the complementary cylindrical housing 24.
- Different retaining devices may be provided as grooves provided on the ends of the detent elements, and a complementary circular bead provided in the complementary cylindrical housing 24; or an inverse device comprising beads provided on the detent elements, and a circular groove formed in the inner part of the complementary cylindrical housing 24.
- These retaining elements describe circles or portions of a circle in order firstly to allow the rotation of the closing means 50 while preventing the accidental extraction of these closing means 50 of the complementary cylindrical housing 24.
- the cover 51 comprises a stop 53 to block the rotation of the closing means 50 by contact of said stopper 53 with the first compartment 11 when the closing means 50, and therefore the cover 51, have been sufficiently turned so that the cover 51 comes to close the opening 21 of the first reservoir 11.
- the stop 53 can be in the form of an element extending in a direction perpendicular to the lid on the same side as the latching elements 54 and 56. Thus the stop 53 can in contact with the outer wall of the first compartment 11 near the opening 21 during the closing movement of the closing means 50.
- the cover 51 has a diameter substantially equivalent to the outer diameter of the first compartment 11 in the case of the opening 21.
- the stop has a thickness less than the thickness of the wall of the first compartment at the opening, and a reserve 23 is provided on the outer wall of the first compartment 11 so that the stop 53 comes to fit into the reserve 23 when the cover 51 completely covers the opening 21.
- this can be in the form of a detent element that can come into contact with a wider portion of the outer wall of the first compartment 11 when closing the closure means 50.
- the reserve 21 is provided accordingly so that the stop 53, comes fully housed in the reserve, the stop 53 and the first compartment at the opening 21 having a substantially continuous surface through the abutment integrally housed in a reserve 21 of complementary shape.
- Locking means are provided on the closure means 50 and the opening 21 to ensure locking of the closure means 50 on the opening 21.
- These locking means may take the form of a boss 25 and a complementary groove 55, each of these elements being carried by a separate element of the cover assembly 51-opening 21.
- the stop 53 is housed in the reserve 23, and the boss 25 is housed in the groove 55.
- the boss 25 is provided at the opening 21 of the first compartment 11, near the reserve 23.
- a rounded shape of the boss makes it possible to slightly lift the lid 51 without the user having to apply a significant force during the rotation of the closing means 50.
- closure means 60 may be provided at opposite ends of the first and second compartments.
- the closing means 60 are then identical to the closing means 50 shown in FIGS. 2.1 and 2.2 and comprise a stop 63, snap-fastening elements 64 adapted to cooperate with a cylindrical housing, as well as part of the locking means (not shown) to lock the closing means 60 in the closed position.
- the first compartment has on the end opposite the opening 21 a second end 31 having an internal portion of a cylindrical housing 33 adapted to receive the latching elements 64 and the connecting member of the closure means 60.
- the end opposite the end 22 of the second compartment 12 has a second opening 32, similar to the opening 21, which comprises a reserve 34 and a boss 36, these elements being respectively complementary to the stop 63 and a groove (not shown in Figure 4.1) provided on the closure means 60.
- the closing means 60 of the second opening 32 are articulated on the second end 31.
- opposite ends of the same compartment play opposite roles, i.e. an opening for loading and / or unloading small objects of Elongated shape is provided at a first end, while a cylindrical housing is provided at the opposite end to receive the connecting means of the closure means.
- the two compartments can be used to receive as shown in Figure 4.2 small separate objects of distinct elongate shapes such as mines 100 in the first compartment, and gums 110 in the second compartment.
