Abstract: In a bearing device in which a free end of a shaft body (1)
to which a rolling bearing is mounted is bent outward in its
radial direction into a shape to be pushed against an end face
of an inner ring (21) of the rolling bearing so as to prevent the

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de couplage couplant un récipient de colorant à une structure de distribution pour une machine de traitement de polymères. Cet appareil de couplage est pourvu d'une structure tubulaire comprenant une partie de sortie entrant en prise avec la structure de distribution, ainsi qu'une partie d'entrée recevant et supportant ledit récipient au-dessus de la partie de sortie. La partie d'entrée présente une position verticale dans laquelle elle supporte le récipient dans une position renversée, le colorant pouvant ainsi s'écouler en dehors du récipient sous l'effet de la pesanteur. Un joint, de préférence une charnière, supporte la partie d'entrée en vue d'un mouvement vers une position renversée. La partie d'entrée peut alors recevoir le récipient dans une position verticale, le colorant ne pouvant plus s'échapper du récipient. De préférence, un dispositif de verrouillage libérable interagit avec le joint de manière à retenir la partie d'entrée de la structure tubulaire de manière libérable dans sa position verticale. De plus, la partie d'entrée de la structure tubulaire peut de préférence se déplacer par rapport à la partie de sortie et tourner sur un axe vertical lorsque la partie d'entrée se trouve dans sa position verticale. Cela permet au récipient de pivoter jusqu'à une position appropriée autour de cet axe vertical. Une bride retient le récipient de manière libérable dans une position sélectionnée autour de l'axe vertical, le mouvement de rotation de la partie d'entrée étant ainsi bloqué.
