Abstract[English]
A tap assembly (200) includes a body (206) that can be in fluid communication with a container (250), an outlet (205) in fluid communication with the body (206), and a valve (214). The valve (214) can be opened and closed to allow or deter, respectively, a flowable material to flow from the container (250) to the outlet (208). The tap assembly (200) includes an actuator (210) coupled to the valve (214). The actuator (210) is biased to a first location where the valve (214) is closed and is movable from the first location to a second location where the valve (214) is open. The tap assembly (200) includes a tamper evident feature (230) that can be activated. Before the tamper evident feature (230) is activated, the tamper evident feature (230) is in a path of the actuator (210) between the first and second locations. After the tamper evident feature (230) is activated, the tamper evident feature (230) is located inside the tap assembly (200) and remains retained by the tap assembly.[French]
Un ensemble robinet (200) comprend un corps (206) qui peut être en communication fluidique avec un contenant (250), une sortie (205) en communication fluidique avec le corps (206), et une vanne (214). La vanne (214) peut être ouverte et fermée pour permettre ou empêcher, respectivement, l’écoulement d’un matériau fluide du contenant (250) à la sortie (208). L'ensemble robinet (200) comprend un actionneur (210) accouplé à la vanne (214). L'actionneur (210) est sollicité vers un premier emplacement où la vanne (214) est fermée et est mobile du premier emplacement à un second emplacement où la vanne (214) est ouverte. L'ensemble robinet (200) comprend un élément d'inviolabilité (230) qui peut être activé. Avant l'activation de l'élément d'inviolabilité (230), l'élément d'inviolabilité (230) se trouve dans la trajectoire de l'actionneur (210) entre les premier et second emplacements. Une fois que l'élément d'inviolabilité (230) est activé, l'élément d'inviolabilité (230) se trouve à l'intérieur de l'ensemble robinet (200) et reste retenu par l'ensemble robinet.
