The other bead 78 extends along the second application face 82 in a vertical plane extending the rear face 70. As shown in Figures 10 and 12, the channel 41 of the guide block is constituted by two parts. A part, called feed line 90, connects the first application face 80 to an upper part of the chamber 58. The maintenance liquid is fed to the chamber through this feed line. The other part, called evacuation route 92 connects the second application face 82 to a lower part of the chamber 58. The maintenance liquid is discharged from the chamber by this evacuation route, as can be seen in the figures 5 and 10.
    [0022] The first application face 80 and the second application face 82 are provided with a circular groove 83 bordering the supply path 90 and respectively the escape route 92. The circular grooves 83 are able to receive a device static seal 85, circular seal type. The supply path 90 is constituted by two rectilinear sections. A first section 94 extends along the main axis BB and opens onto the first application face 80. A second section 96 extends along an axis forming a predefined angle θ with the main axis BB and opens at the of the upper portion of the chamber 58. This predefined angle θ is, for example, between 55 ° and 85 °.
    [0023] Advantageously, this configuration makes it possible to pierce the second section 96 of the channel with the aid of a tool passing through the guide hole 52. The guide block 44, 45 is made in one piece. It does not include a cap. In the same way, the evacuation route 92 is made by two rectilinear sections. A first section 98 extends along the main axis BB and opens onto the second application face 82. A second section 100 extends along an axis making a predetermined angle a with the main axis BB and opens at the level of the lower portion of the chamber 58. Finally, the supply path 90 extends in a plane parallel to the front face 68. The escape route 92 also extends in a plane parallel to the front face 68 but distinct and remote from the plane containing the feed path 90. In particular, when considering the lower face 72 of the guide block 44, 45 as a whole, the feed path 90 and the escape route 92 lead to , on either side of the guide hole 52, substantially along a first diagonal D1 of the application face 72.
    [0024] The guide block 44, 45 also comprises two fixing holes 102, 104 each traversed by a fixing screw 106, 108 for fixing the guide block 44 to the dispensing nozzle 6 disposed below it. The fixing holes 102, 104 and the fastening screws 106, 108, forming fastening elements, extend parallel to the main axis B-B. When the lower face 72 of the guide block 44, 45 is considered as a whole, the two fixing holes 102, 104 open, on either side of the guide hole 52, substantially along a second diagonal D2 the application face 72.
