Abstract:
1. An end piece for the filling of a tank, provided for permitting the filling exclusively by a supply spout having an outer diameter greater than a predetermined threshold, said end piece comprising a duct having an aperture for spout insertion as well as a sleeve disposed in said duct downstream of said aperture, the sleeve being moveable longitudinally with respect to said duct and comprising an inner surface having a portion converging in the downstream direction, the smallest cross-sectional dimension of said portion defining said threshold, said sleeve being adapted to adopt a withdrawn position when not urged and an advanced position when it is urged by a movement of insertion, from upstream to downstream, of said of outer diameter greater than said threshold, said end piece further comprising, downstream of said sleeve when it is in withdrawn position, an obstacle for countering the filling by a spout of outer diameter less than said threshold, said obstacle being adapted to adopt an extended position in withdrawn position of said sleeve and a retracted position in advanced position of said sleeve, wherein said end piece further comprises an end of travel abutment for the insertion into said end piece of a spout of outer diameter less than said threshold, said abutment being fixed with respect to said duct and projecting inwardly of said duct said abutment being distinct from and upstream of said obstacle in said duct.
