Abstract
In the device (1) according to the invention, the lever arm actuating the valve consists of an element (5) disposed symmetrically on either side of the push-button against which it presses by means of a projection (24). The small plate (5) has four catches (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d) each sliding in a channel formed in a guide means (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) carried by the fixed part (4) of the distributor head parallel to the longitudinal axis of the assembly. When one end (23a) of the small plate (5) is pressed, the two catches (25a, 25d) slide downwards in their channels and the other two catches (25b, 25c) remain in the abutting position at the top of their associated channels.
