Description

Domaine de 1invention La presente invention concerne un distributeur deField of the invention The present invention relates to a dispenser of

boissons fraiches, conditionnees en vrac dans un recipient tel qu'un tonnelet ou une poche souple. fresh beverages, packaged in bulk in a container such as a keg or a soft bag.

L'invention concerne notamment une fontaine a biere, ou autre boisson de ce type telle que cidre ou toute autre boisson (sucree ou jus de fruit, ...). Etat de la technique Il existe des distributeurs de boisson en forme de recipient munis d'une vanne ou d'un poussoir permettant de distribuer une boisson. C'est ainsi qu'il existe des bouteilles thermos, d'une certaine capacite pour distribuer des boissons chaudes ou fraiches, par exemple pour le buffet de petits dejeuners de restaurants, ou d'hotels. Il existe egalement des fontaines a biere constituees par un support, en general en forme de trepied sur lequel on place un tonnelet ou petit flit de biere d'une capacite de quelques litres, ce tonnelet etant muni d'un robinet permettant de distribuer de la biere sous pression. Dans le premier cas, celui des distributeurs de boisson chaude ou froide a partir d'une bouteille Thermos, ou d'un recipient isole, le liquide mis dans le recipient a une certaine temperature (soit 6-levee soit basse) est preleve a cette temperature qui, suivant le cas, varie legerement au cours du temps en fonction des deperditions, pendant toute la periode jusqu'a 1'epuisement du volume ainsi stocke ou de son renouvellement. Le second type de distributeur de boisson, a savoir le sup- port pour tonnelet a biere ou simplement le tonnelet a biere tel quel, ne permet de distribuer la biere qu'a la temperature a laquelle elle se trouve dans le tonnelet. Dans ces conditions, si l'on veut consommer de la biere fraiche, it est indispensable de refroidir le tonnelet mais celui-ci se rechauffe au fur et a mesure de sorte que la boisson distribuee, risque de n'etre plus fraiche. Une solution dans ce cas consiste a refroidir de maniere excessive le tonnelet mais, alors, les premiers prelevements de biere seront a une temperature trop basse. En conclusion, ce type de distribution ne permet d'avoir une biere a la temperature adequate que tres episodiquement mais non de fagon permanente, pendant toute la duree de consommation du volume de biere disponible dans le tonnelet. But de 1invention La presente invention a pour but de realiser un distributeur de boissons fraiches conditionnees en vrac dans un recipient 6-changeable ou jetable, permettant d'obtenir une boisson a temperature relativement constante, sous la forme d'un ensemble simple et efficace, tant pour la fabrication que pour l'utilisation et qui puisse 'are vendu comme accessoire garni ou non d'un recipient tel qu'un tonnelet de biere. The invention relates in particular to a beer fountain, or other beverage of this type such as cider or any other drink (sugar or fruit juice, ...). STATE OF THE ART There are beverage dispensers in the form of a receptacle provided with a valve or a pusher for dispensing a drink. Thus there are thermos bottles, of a certain capacity to distribute hot or fresh drinks, for example for the breakfast buffet of restaurants, or hotels. There are also beer fountains formed by a support, usually in the form of a tripod on which is placed a keg or small beer flit of a capacity of a few liters, this keg being provided with a tap to distribute the beer under pressure. In the first case, that of hot or cold drink dispensers from a Thermos bottle, or from an isolated container, the liquid placed in the container at a certain temperature (either 6-high or low) is taken from this bottle. temperature which, depending on the case, varies slightly over time depending on the losses, throughout the period until the volume thus stored or its renewal is exhausted. The second type of beverage dispenser, namely the beer keg holder or simply the beer keg as it is, allows the beer to be dispensed only at the temperature at which it is in the keg. In these conditions, if you want to consume fresh beer, it is essential to cool the keg but it warms up gradually as the drink distributed, may not be fresh. One solution in this case is to cool the keg excessively, but then the first beer samples will be at too low a temperature. In conclusion, this type of distribution makes it possible to have a beer at the appropriate temperature only very sporadically but not permanently, during the entire consumption period of the volume of beer available in the keg. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a distributor of fresh beverages packaged in bulk in a 6-changeable or disposable container, making it possible to obtain a drink at a relatively constant temperature, in the form of a simple and effective assembly. both for manufacture and for use and can be sold as accessory garnished or not a container such as a beer keg.

Expose et avantages de 1'invention A cet effet, l'invention concerne un distributeur de boisson fraiche conditionnee en vrac dans un recipient remplagable, caracterise en ce qu'il comprend : un support en matiere plastique expansee, isolante, ayant - un emplacement recevant le recipient contenant la boisson et - un compartiment a glace garni d'un serpentin muni d'une arrivee et d'un bec de sortie debouchant au-dessus d'un emplacement a verres ou gobelets plastiques, 1'arrivee se raccordant a la sortie du recipient. Le distributeur selon l'invention permet de distribuer des boissons fraiches a partir d'un recipient non necessairement refroidi. Il suffit pour cela de charger le compartiment a glace avec, de la glace et de preference, de 1'eau pour refroidir le liquide preleve du recipient et parcourant le serpentin pour arriver directement au bec de sortie. Suivant la vitesse de circulation du liquide dans le serpen-20 tin, 1'echange de chaleur, c'est-a-dire le refroidissement, sera plus ou moins pousse. De plus, la glace pouvant se renouveler quelle que soit la duree d'utilisation du distributeur, on pourra maintenir une temperature pratiquement constante. Cela permet egalement d'utiliser ce meme distri- 25 buteur pour refroidir la boisson apres remplacement du recipient vide. L'ensemble constitue un distributeur compact, qui se place facilement sur une table ou une desserte. Dans le cas d'une utilisation en public, par exemple a 1'occasion de fetes, le distributeur pourra 'are fourni charge du recipient et 30 de la glace, a une tablee ; it pourra ainsi 'are renouvele tres simplement, le recipient ou tonnelet vide etant emporte par le service pour 'are recharge avec un nouveau tonnelet ou recipient et une nouvelle recharge de glace, la distribution des boissons se faisant dans des verres, le nettoyage immediat du serpentin n'etant pas necessaire. 35 En fin de service ou d'utilisation, le distributeur se nettoie simplement en branchant 1'eau sur 1'entree du serpentin pour faire le fin-gage. L'evacuation de 1'eau pour eviter que celle-ci ne reste dans le serpentin se fait par un ou plusieurs retournements du distributeur pour faire sortir 1'eau soit par 1'arrivee soit par le bec du serpentin. Si le serpentin est amovible, it sera enleve pour son nettoyage. Comme indique, le dosage ou la charge de glace permettent de regler plus ou moins la temperature a laquelle on souhaite obtenir le liquide, soit une temperature relativement basse et, dans ce cas, on chargera le compartiment a glace d'une quantite importante de glace en la renouvelant de temps en temps apres fusion ou alors on ne charge ce compartiment que faiblement pour ne pas trop abaisser la temperature. La mise en place du recipient, qu'il s'agisse d'un tonnelet ou d'une poche souple et son branchement sur le serpentin de refroidissement, sont des operations tres simples. La commande de distribution de la boisson peut se faire soit par un robinet equipant le tonnelet dans le cas de la biere ou autre liquide sous pression ou encore par appui sur la poche souple deformable dans le cas ou le liquide non gazeux tel qu'un jus de fruit est simplement vendu en quantite relativement importante (2 a 5 litres), conditionne dans une poche souple, le cas echeant placee et vendue dans une boite en car-ton. Suivant une autre caracteristique avantageuse, le distribu- teur comporte un emplacement a verres situe sous le bec de sortie. Cet emplacement offre 1'avantage d'une part, d'inviter l'utilisateur a bien placer le verre sous le bec verseur, d'autant plus que le bec verseur n'est pas muni du robinet, celui-ci se trouvant directement a la sortie du recipient ou tonnelet. En cas de debordement, si 1'emplacement a verres est muni d'un bord, cela permettra de recueillir le liquide ou la mousse. Suivant une autre caracteristique avantageuse, le support est muni d'un couvercle coiffant 1'emplacement du recipient, le compartiment a glace ainsi que le passage de 1'arrivee et le bec de sortie du serpentin. DISCLOSURE AND ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION For this purpose, the invention relates to a fresh-beverage dispenser packaged in bulk in an exchangeable container, characterized in that it comprises: an expanded, insulating plastic support having a receiving location; the container containing the drink and - an ice compartment provided with a coil provided with an inlet and a spout emerging over a location with plastic glasses or cups, the outlet connecting to the outlet of the container. The dispenser according to the invention allows to distribute fresh drinks from a container not necessarily cooled. Simply load the ice compartment with ice and preferably water to cool the liquid taken from the container and running through the coil to get directly to the outlet spout. Depending on the rate of circulation of the liquid in the serpen-tin, the exchange of heat, that is to say the cooling, will be more or less vigorous. In addition, the ice can be renewed regardless of the duration of use of the dispenser, we can maintain a temperature almost constant. This also allows the same dispenser to be used to cool the beverage after replacing the empty container. The set is a compact dispenser, which is easily placed on a table or serving. In the case of public use, for example in the case of holidays, the dispenser may be provided with a container and ice at a table; It can thus be renewed very simply, the empty container or barrel being taken away by the service to be recharged with a new keg or container and a new refill of ice, the distribution of beverages being done in glasses, the immediate cleaning of the coil not needed. At the end of service or use, the dispenser is simply cleaned by connecting the water to the inlet of the coil to make the end-gage. Evacuation of the water to prevent it from remaining in the coil is by one or more reversals of the dispenser to remove the water either by the arrival or by the beak of the coil. If the coil is removable, it will be removed for cleaning. As indicated, the dosage or the ice load make it possible to regulate more or less the temperature at which one wishes to obtain the liquid, ie a relatively low temperature and, in this case, the ice compartment will be loaded with a large quantity of ice by renewing it from time to time after fusion or else we load this compartment only slightly so as not to lower the temperature too much. The installation of the container, whether it is a keg or a flexible bag and its connection to the cooling coil, are very simple operations. The dispensing control of the drink can be done either by a valve equipping the keg in the case of the beer or other liquid under pressure or by pressing the flexible pouch deformable in the case where the non-gaseous liquid such as a juice fruit is simply sold in relatively large quantities (2 to 5 liters), packaged in a flexible pouch, where appropriate placed and sold in a box car ton. According to another advantageous feature, the dispenser comprises a glass location located under the outlet spout. This location has the advantage on the one hand, to invite the user to place the glass well under the spout, especially since the spout is not equipped with the tap, the latter being directly a the exit of the container or keg. In case of overflow, if the lens location has an edge, this will collect the liquid or foam. According to another advantageous feature, the support is provided with a lid covering the location of the container, the ice compartment and the passage of the inlet and the outlet spout of the coil.

Cette version du distributeur permet d'isoler et de proteger le recipient et le compartiment a glace, par exemple si le distributeur est place a 1'exterieur, au soleil. Cette solution est valable meme si le recipient n'est pas prealablement refroidi. Suivant une autre caracteristique, le support comporte une poignee realisee au-dessus de 1'emplacement du recipient pour transporter facilement le support charge d'un recipient car le centre de gravite de cet ensemble est principalement determine par la position du centre de gra- vite du recipient. La poignee permet ainsi de transporter le distributeur en position naturelle sensiblement horizontale. Suivant une autre caracteristique avantageuse, le compartiment a glace est muni d'un bouchon isolant fixe a l'ouverture du coin-5 partiment par une charniere clipsee. Cette solution est interessante dans le cas ou le support ne comporte pas de couvercle mais un emplacement a recipient, partiellement ouvert, de sorte que le compartiment a glace est protege et isole par son bouchon. Ce bouchon s'installe simplement dans la partie restante du 10 support, par enclipsage d'un axe. Bien qu'il soit possible de vidanger le compartiment a glace par un tuyau a coude, suivant une autre caracteristique avantageuse, le compartiment a glace comporte un orifice de vidange, notamment ferme par une targette. Cela permet d'evacuer au fur et a mesure le liquide (eau) 15 en excedent, produit par la fonte de la glace et de completer la charge du compartiment avec de la glace, pour maintenir la temperature. L'evacuation par l'orifice de vidange permet de recueillir 1'eau de fusion de glace et de 1'evacuer proprement sans avoir a renverser 1'ensemble du distributeur. 20 Bien qu'il soit possible de le fermer avec un bouchon, cet orifice est avantageusement ferme par une targette, c'est-a-dire un organe de fermeture coulissant, cela d'autant plus que la matiere plastique expansee peut 'are fragile et rendre difficile l'obturation par un bouchon. Suivant d'autres caracteristiques avantageuses, le fond du 25 support comporte un degagement a 1'emplacement homologue de la poignee permettant de recevoir la partie en saillie de la poignee d'un autre support pour le gerbage des supports, 1'emplacement du recipient dans le support est en forme de logement enveloppant, coiffe par la poignee, et ouvert sur 1'avant sur un arc de cercle inferieur a la moitie de 1'enveloppe 30 de 1'emplacement pour former deux bords de retenue, deformables, permettant d'introduire le recipient et de le retenir, et a 1'arriere, 1'emplacement est partiellement couvert par une patte destinee a chevaucher au moins partiellement le bord du recipient. Cette forme d'emplacement permet de bien retenir le reci- 35 pient, en particulier s'il s'agit d'un tonnelet, sans necessiter de moyens compliques pour ouvrir et fermer 1'emplacement ou pour fixer le tonnelet a sa place. De plus, facilite la presentation de tels distributeurs a boisson deja charges d'un recipient tel qu'un tonnelet avec eventuellement, dans le meme lot, un ou plusieurs tonnelets supplementaires. Cela permet aussi le gerbage d'ensembles constitues par un distributeur charge d'un recipient, notamment d'un tonnelet a boisson tout en beneficiant des avantages d'une poignee pour le transport. Suivant une autre caracteristique avantageuse, 1'emplacement du recipient, le compartiment a glace et 1'emplacement a verres sont juxtaposes dans un volume compact de section ovale. Cette forme de realisation se traduit par un ensemble tres compact pour le stockage, le transport et la distribution. Dans ce cas, it est avantageux que le bord superieur du compartiment a glace soit muni d'une goulotte arrivant au-dessus de 1'emplacement a verres permettant le passage du bec de sortie du serpentin. This version of the dispenser makes it possible to isolate and protect the container and the ice compartment, for example if the dispenser is placed outside, in the sun. This solution is valid even if the container is not previously cooled. According to another feature, the support comprises a handle made above the location of the container for easily transporting the load carrier of a container because the center of gravity of this set is mainly determined by the position of the center of gravity. of the container. The handle thus makes it possible to transport the dispenser in a substantially horizontal natural position. According to another advantageous feature, the ice compartment is provided with an insulating cap fixed at the opening of the wedge-5 partiment by a clipsee hinge. This solution is interesting in the case where the support has no lid but a container location, partially open, so that the ice compartment is protected and isolated by its cap. This plug is simply installed in the remaining part of the support, by clipping an axis. Although it is possible to drain the ice compartment by a pipe elbow, according to another advantageous feature, the ice compartment has a drain hole, in particular closed by a bolt. This makes it possible to evacuate excess liquid (water) excessively, produced by the melting of the ice and to supplement the load of the compartment with ice, to maintain the temperature. Evacuation through the drain port allows the ice melting water to be collected and evacuated cleanly without having to overturn the manifold assembly. Although it is possible to close it with a plug, this orifice is advantageously closed by a bolt, that is to say a sliding closure member, all the more so that the expanded plastic material can be fragile. and make it difficult to seal with a stopper. According to other advantageous features, the bottom of the support comprises a clearance at the homologous location of the handle for receiving the projecting part of the handle of another support for the stacking of the supports, the location of the container in the support is in the form of an enveloping housing, cap-like by the handle, and open at the front over an arc of a circle less than half of the envelope of the location to form two deformable retaining edges, allowing introducing the container and retaining it, and at the rear, the location is partially covered by a tab intended to overlap at least partially the edge of the container. This form of location makes it possible to hold the reclaimer securely, especially if it is a cask, without requiring complicated means to open and close the location or to fix the cask in its place. In addition, facilitates the presentation of such drink dispensers already loaded with a container such as a keg with possibly, in the same batch, one or more additional kegs. This also allows the stacking of sets constituted by a dispenser load of a container, including a drink keg while enjoying the benefits of a handle for transport. According to another advantageous feature, the container location, the ice compartment and the glass location are juxtaposed in a compact volume of oval section. This embodiment results in a very compact package for storage, transport and distribution. In this case, it is advantageous for the upper edge of the ice compartment to be provided with a chute overlying the glass location for passage of the coil exit spout.

Ce distributeur 1 se compose d'un support 3 en forme de boite ayant un emplacement 31 sous forme de compartiment, recevant le tonnelet 2, ainsi qu'un compartiment a glace 32. Ce compartiment a glace 32 est garni a sa peripherie, d'un serpentin 4 dont 1embout d'arrivee 41 se situe en partie haute et la sortie 42 remonte de la derniere spire 43 du serpentin au fond du compartiment pour passer par-dessus la paroi 33 du compartiment et se terminer par un bec de versage 44 debouchant au-dessus d'un emplacement a verres 34 occupe ici par un verre ou gobelet 5. L'embout d'arrivee 41 du serpentin 4 est relie par un raccord 6 en forme de manchon a la sortie 22 du robinet 21 du tonnelet 2. Le robinet 21 du tonnelet se manoeuvre a 1'aide d'une manette. Le serpentin 4 est realise en une matiere ayant une bonne conductivite thermique, par exemple en cuivre ou en aluminium. Le serpentin peut are fixe dans le compartiment a glace ou y are simplement loge de maniere amovible pour permettre son enlevement pour son nettoyage. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION According to FIG. 1, the invention relates to a dispenser of fresh beverages 1 packaged in bulk in a receptacle 2 in the form of a barrel or small barrel. This dispenser 1 consists of a support 3 in the shape of a box having a location 31 in the form of a compartment, receiving the cask 2, and an ice compartment 32. This ice compartment 32 is furnished at its periphery, d ' a coil 4 whose arrival end 41 is located at the top and the outlet 42 rises from the last turn 43 of the coil at the bottom of the compartment to pass over the wall 33 of the compartment and end with a pouring spout 44 above a location with glasses 34 occupies here by a glass or cup 5. The inlet end 41 of the coil 4 is connected by a connector 6 in the form of a sleeve at the outlet 22 of the tap 21 of the cask 2. The tap 21 of the barrel is maneuvered using a joystick. The coil 4 is made of a material having good thermal conductivity, for example copper or aluminum. The coil may be fixed in the ice compartment or simply removed therein to allow it to be removed for cleaning.

Le support 3 est realise en matiere plastique expansee telle que du PSE (polystyrene expanse) ou du PPE (polypropylene expanse). Le support 3 decrit ci-dessus peut are couvert par un couvercle 7 egalement en matiere plastique expansee telle que du PSE ou PPE de fagon a ameliorer l'isolation sur le dessus, notamment si le distributeur est prevu pour are utilise a 1'exterieur. Le couvercle 7 comporte un passage 71 pour le levier de manoeuvre du robinet. Les figures 2 a 6 montrent un autre mode de realisation d'un distributeur de boissons fraiches 100 selon l'invention. The support 3 is made of expanded plastic such as EPS (expanded polystyrene) or PPE (expanded polypropylene). The carrier 3 described above may be covered by a cover 7 also made of expanded plastic such as EPS or EPP so as to improve the insulation on the top, especially if the dispenser is intended for use outside. The lid 7 has a passage 71 for the valve operating lever. Figures 2 to 6 show another embodiment of a fresh beverage dispenser 100 according to the invention.

Selon la figure 2, ce distributeur 100 se compose d'un sup-port 101 en matiere plastique expansee telle que du PSE ou du PPE, formant un ensemble thermo isolant. Ce support a un emplacement 110 destine au recipient contenant la boisson a distribuer. Ce recipient est, en general, de forme globalement cylindrique a section circulaire et 1'emplacement 110 a une forme cylindrique circulaire, ouverte a 1'avant sur une partie de la peripherie, inferieure a la moitie de la peripherie de 1'emplacement 110 pour former deux bords 111 deformables elastiquement. On peut 6-carter ces bords pour mettre le recipient dans son empla- cement 110, les deux bords 111 revenant elastiquement et retenant le recipient par clipsage. Le dessus du support 110 est muni d'une poignee 112 qui coiffe partiellement 1'emplacement 110 du recipient en le laissant suffisamment degage pour permettre le passage et la mise en place du recipient/ tonnelet. A cote de 1'emplacement a recipient 110, se trouve un compartiment a glace 140 en forme de cylindre a section circulaire, muni d'un serpentin 160 s'etendant le long de la paroi de ce compartiment. Le serpentin 160 est realise comme le precedent, de preference, en une matiere ayant une bonne conductivite thermique, tel que du cuivre ou de 1'aluminium. Il peut 'are integre de maniere solidaire au compartiment a glace 140 ou y 'are, de preference, installe de fagon amovible pour permettre son extraction en vue de son nettoyage. Le dessus du compartiment a glace 140 est ferme par un couvercle pivotant 141 de maniere a permettre d'introduire la glace dans le compartiment puis, a refermer le couvercle pour 1'isoler thermiquement. A cote du compartiment a glace 140, se trouve un emplacement a verres ou a gobelets plastiques 170. Au-dessus de cet emplacement, la paroi commune 141 entre le compartiment a glace 140 et 1'emplacement a verres 170 comporte une fente 142 a travers laquelle passe le bec de sortie 163 du serpentin 160 debouchant au-dessus de 1'emplacement a verres 170. La figure 3 montre en vue en coupe, la structure du distributeur 100 de la figure 1, notamment 1'articulation 143 du couvercle 141. According to FIG. 2, this dispenser 100 consists of a sup-port 101 made of expanded plastic material such as EPS or PPE, forming a thermo-insulating assembly. This support has a location 110 for the container containing the drink to be dispensed. This container is generally of generally cylindrical shape with a circular cross-section and the location 110 has a circular cylindrical shape, open at the front on a part of the periphery, less than half of the periphery of the location 110 for form two edges 111 deformable elastically. These edges can be 6-cased to place the container in its location 110, the two edges 111 coming back elastically and holding the container by clipping. The top of the support 110 is provided with a handle 112 which partially covers the location 110 of the container by leaving it clear enough to allow the passage and placement of the container / keg. Next to the receptacle 110 there is a circular shaped cylinder shaped ice chamber 140 provided with a coil 160 extending along the wall of this compartment. The coil 160 is made as before, preferably in a material having good thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. It can be integrated integrally with the ice compartment 140 or preferably is removably installed for its extraction for cleaning. The top of the ice compartment 140 is closed by a pivoting lid 141 so as to allow the ice to be introduced into the compartment and then to close the lid to thermally isolate it. Next to the ice compartment 140, there is a plastic cup or cup location 170. Above this location, the common wall 141 between the ice compartment 140 and the glass location 170 includes a slot 142 through which passes the outlet spout 163 of the coil 160 emerging over the lens location 170. Figure 3 shows in sectional view the structure of the dispenser 100 of Figure 1, including the joint 143 of the cover 141.

Le fond 113 du support 101 comporte une ouverture 114 formant un degagement dans une position homologue a celle de la poignee 112 du des-sus pour permettre le gerbage de distributeurs 100 charges d'un recipient de boisson 2, comme le suggere la reunion des figures 3 et 3A. La figure 3 montre, comme la figure 2, la pointe 115 dans la partie superieure de 1'emplacement a recipient 111. Cette pointe 115 coiffe le bord superieur peripherique 23 du recipient 2 de maniere a retenir celui-ci en plus des bords 111 a 1'entree de 1'emplacement 110. Le detail de la conduite reliant la sortie du reservoir au bec de distribution de produit en sortie de serpentin de refroidissement 160 n'apparait pas dans cette figure qui montre uniquement le serpentin de refroidissement 160 avec sa spire inferieure 161 et le tube de remontee 162 relie au bec de sortie 163 (figure 2). L'entree 164 du tube 160 apparait a la figure 2. The bottom 113 of the support 101 has an opening 114 forming a clearance in a position homologous to that of the handle 112 of the-sus to allow the stacking of dispensers 100 loads of a beverage container 2, as suggested by the meeting of the figures 3 and 3A. FIG. 3 shows, as FIG. 2, the point 115 in the upper part of the receptacle location 111. This tip 115 caps the peripheral upper edge 23 of the receptacle 2 so as to retain it in addition to the edges 111a. 110. The detail of the pipe connecting the outlet of the tank to the product distribution spout at the outlet of the cooling coil 160 does not appear in this figure which shows only the cooling coil 160 with its coil lower 161 and the lift tube 162 connects to the outlet nozzle 163 (Figure 2). The inlet 164 of the tube 160 appears in FIG.

La figure 3A placee sous la figure 3, montre le dessus d'un distributeur 100 avec sa poignee 112 qui, lorsqu'on gerbe les deux distributeurs, s'engage dans l'ouverture 114 du distributeur 100 place audessus et permet le gerbage, le fond plat 113 venant sur le dessus plat du distributeur place en dessous.
