  3. Tête de remplissage selon la revendication 2, dans laquelle
    - l'élément de blocage (38, 138) est sollicité de manière élastique en direction de la première position.
  4. Tête de remplissage selon une des revendications 2, 3, dans laquelle
    - l'élément de blocage (38, 138) est logé de manière mobile entre la première et la seconde position.
  5. Tête de remplissage selon la revendication 4, dans laquelle
    - l'élément de blocage (38, 138) est coulissant de manière axiale au sens de rotation de la partie de commande (30) et/ou de l'élément de connexion rotative (26).
  6. Tête de remplissage selon une des revendications 4, 5, dans laquelle
    - l'élément de blocage (38, 138) et/ou un élément de couplage (36) couplé à la partie de commande (30) ou l'élément de connexion rotative (26) présente une surface d'appui qui est inclinée d'un angle par rapport au sens de coulissement de l'élément de blocage (38, 138) ou présente une forme de courbe,
    - dans laquelle l'élément de blocage (38, 138) est sollicité avec une force dans le sens de coulissement sous l'action de la surface d'appui lors du transfert d'un couple de rotation.
  7. Tête de remplissage selon la revendication 6, dans laquelle
    - l'élément de blocage (38, 138) et/ou la partie de couplage (36) présente une première et une seconde surface d'appui,

  10. Tête de remplissage selon une des revendications précédentes, dans laquelle
    - un élément de support (162) est coulissé lors du désengagement du dispositif de couplage à limitation de couple de rotation (132) par rotation de la partie de commande (30) dans le sens de fermeture d'une position de repos dans une position de désengagement,
    - et dans laquelle le capteur (141) détecte la position de désengagement et/ou la position de repos de l'élément de support (162).
  11. Tête de remplissage selon la revendication 10, dans laquelle
    - une module d'encliquetage est prévu à travers lequel l'élément de support (162) reste dans la position de désengagement après le désengagement,
    - dans laquelle l'élément de support (162) est ramené dans la position de repos lors de la rotation de la partie de commande (30) dans un sens d'ouverture opposé au sens de fermeture.
  12. Tête de remplissage selon une des revendications 10, 11, dans laquelle
    - un élément de couplage (160) est relié à la partie de commande (30),
    - et l'élément de support (162) est logé par rapport à l'élément de couplage (160) dans un guide de telle sorte qu'il se déplace lors de la rotation de l'élément de connexion rotative (26) par rapport à la partie de commande (30) de la position de repos dans la position de désengagement.
  13. Tête de remplissage selon la revendication 12, dans laquelle
    - l'élément de couplage (160) et l'élément de support (162) sont réalisés comme éléments annulaires disposés de manière concentrique,
    - et le guide est disposé dans la région entre l'élément de couplage (134) et l'élément de support (162).
  14. Tête de remplissage selon la revendications 11, dans laquelle
    - un élément de couplage (260) est relié à la partie de commande (30),
    - et l'élément de support (262) est logé par rapport à l'élément de couplage (260) dans un guide (278) de telle sorte qu'il reste dans la position de désengagement après le désengagement.
  15. Tête de remplissage selon la revendication 14, dans laquelle
    - le guide (278) est formé par des cames (276) réalisées sur un des éléments (260, 262) et des poches (279) formées sur l'autre élément,
