Abstract

See full text

The tank comprises: a hollow body; a valve device (12) received within the hollow body; and a support element (22) adapted to support the valve device (12) and to be fixed to an upper wall (10) of the hollow body. The support element (22) is provided with coupling teeth (30, 32) adapted to engage in respective undercut seats (18, 20) provided in relief portions (14, 16) of the upper wall (10). The coupling teeth (30, 32) comprise a first rigid coupling tooth (30) adapted to engage in a first seat (14) and second elastically deformable coupling teeth (32) adapted to snap engage in respective second seats (16), in such a manner that the first coupling tooth (30), once engaged in the first seat (14), acts as a fulcrum around which the assembly formed by the support element (22) and by the valve device (12) is rotatable and, while rotating, can be urged against the upper wall (10), causing each second coupling tooth (32) to snap engage in the respective second seat (16).
