Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'application pour un appareil d'application, notamment un pistolet d'application destiné à appliquer des compositions sous forme de gel et/ou pâteuses, comprenant une unité de distribution (10) servant à distribuer la composition, un élément de raccordement (12), notamment un couvercle, destiné à raccorder l'unité de distribution (10) à un corps principal d'appareil d'application ainsi qu'un élément de fermeture (11). L'élément de fermeture (11) peut effectuer une rotation autour d'un axe de rotation par rapport à l'élément de raccordement (12) et l'unité de distribution (10) pour fixer l'unité de distribution (10) à l'élément de raccordement (12) ainsi que pour détacher l'unité de distribution (10) de l'élément de raccordement (12). Un dispositif de levage (16, 19, 25, 26) est configuré et disposé de telle sorte que l'unité de distribution (10) est soulevée par une rotation de l'élément de fermeture (11).
