1. A method for unlocking a device having a first body and a second body provided with means of mutual locking by axial latching, said mutual locking means having: on said first body, a plurality of axially oriented projecting latching tabs; on said second body, a transversely oriented wall provided, for each one of said latching tabs, with an aperture through which a latching tab can pass, said transversely oriented wall joining a cylindrical wall faced by said latching tabs when said first body and second body are locked on each other; and means for preventing the withdrawal of each latching tab which has passed through said aperture; the method characterised in that it includes: a) the step of positioning said device on a sheath having, for each one of said tabs, a portion adapted to be housed between a tab and said cylindrical wall, b) the step of making each portion of said sheath enter between a tab and cylindrical wall so that each said portion cooperates with said tab in order to cause it to tilt radially inwardly until said means for preventing withdrawal are released; and c) the step of separating said first body and second body from each other.
