Abstract
A device permitting the emission or discharge of material in the form of a jet by a nozzle, which is able to communicate with a cavity of the device through which the material passes and where it is pressurized in order to permit the formation of the jet under the effect of a controller. A stimulator is located in the vicinity of the nozzle in order to split up the jet into a succession of elements. The device includes a seal for the nozzle when no material jet is being discharged made of a deformable member placed between the stimulator and the nozzle and designed and positioned so as to seal the nozzle when the controller does not allow the emission of a material jet and to free the nozzle when the controller allows the emission of a jet.
