Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mobile machine for projecting onto a fixed surface a jet of liquid, for example paint for the purpose of tracing a colored line. More specifically, the invention relates to a machine for drawing lines by spraying liquid paint and joint movement, mainly intended for tracing the limits of the playing areas of a sports field.
- STATE OF THE ART EP 302 037 discloses a machine for tracing bands on a sports field in order to delimit the playing areas, these bands being formed by spraying a liquid paint.
- This marking machine is manually movable and comprises a chassis mounted on wheels, provided with an operating handle, on which are installed a paint tank and a pump in communication relation on the one hand with said tank and on the other hand with a spray nozzle installed at the front of the machine frame.
- the pump of the peristaltic type, is engaged by its rotor with the axle of one of the undercarriages of the chassis.
- the stator of this pump has, opposite the rotor, an arcuate surface with an arc of circumference on which the rollers of the rotor compress a suction and delivery tube for the paint.
- an expansion tank of the closed type is provided upstream of the nozzle.
- This expansion tank occupies a lower level relative to the bottom of the paint tank and includes a sealed chamber into which the delivery tube of the pump enters on the one hand and the nozzle supply tube on the other hand spray.
- the spray nozzle When the spray nozzle is closed, the penetration of the paint into the vase compresses the mass of air it contains. The energy thus accumulated is then returned to the spraying circuit with a view, for example, to spraying paint without actuating the pump.
- This expansion tank further includes a pressure gauge which informs the user of the pressure prevailing in the spraying circuit. In this way the user can know if the pressure is sufficient to start marking. The small amount of paint that the vase can absorb, apart from any paint spraying, prevents the machine from moving over considerable distances without making the peristaltic pump inoperative.
- the stator is mounted mobile and can be angularly moved from its normal position of use by a deactivation mechanism.
- This mechanism essentially comprises a traction cable, in a sheath, secured to a maneuvering handle fixed to the handle. The stator spacing movement takes place against the action of a return spring which tends to return said stator to its initial position, that is to say to the pump activation position.
- This deactivation mechanism in practice, is also used to deactivate the pump when the machine is pulled backwards which prevents any backflow of paint to the tank. Disclosure of the invention Technical problem
- the advantage of such a machine lies essentially in the fact that the flow rate at the pump outlet is closely related to the speed of its movement so that good marking regularity is obtained despite variations in movement speed.
- this machine presents a number of problems.
- the need to use a pump deactivation mechanism so that said machine can operate over a relatively large distance without triggering the spraying complicates its production and increases its cost price.
- the presence of such a mechanism also increases maintenance work.
- Another disadvantage of the machine is closely related to the nature of the paint used. The latter is usually obtained by dilution in water of a base paint in aqueous phase subject to sedimentation, so that a more or less long period of non-use of the machine results in a deposit of the paint on the bottom of the tank.
- this machine is not provided with any means of automatic stirring of the paint before use so that if the user is not careful, only water lightly loaded with paint and therefore weakly colored will be sprayed.
- Another disadvantage of this machine lies in the rapid clogging of the expansion tank and in the difficulty of cleaning the latter as well as the circuit of spray. Indeed, in contact with the air contained in the vase, we observe a more or less rapid drying of the paint and a deposit of dry matter on the walls of the vase. As the machine does not have any self-cleaning means, cleaning of the spraying circuit is not carried out or is improperly carried out.
- Another disadvantage of this machine lies in the fact that lying on its side for maintenance, for example, paint present in the expansion tank and in the spraying circuit can flow back to the pressure gauge and close the latter so irreversible. This drawback results in the obligation to replace the pressure gauge.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by implementing a machine of the aforementioned type for which there is no need to disengage the pump when it is moving forward with the spray nozzle closed, the pump then being used to stir the paint contained in the tank.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a self-cleaning machine.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine with particularly simple means to prevent paint from backing up towards the pressure gauge when it is lying on its side.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine with a simplified but solid chassis.
- the machine for projecting onto the fixed horizontal surface on which it operates, a jet of liquid, for example paint with a view to the formation on this surface of a mark in the form of a line, said machine comprising a chassis, a front wheel train and a rear wheel train, a reservoir of liquid to be sprayed, at least one spray nozzle installed at the front and a pump of the peristaltic type comprising a rotor coupled to the axle of one of the two sets of wheels and a stator comprising a stator body comprising at gaze of the rotor and in a centered manner relative to the latter a bearing surface in an arc of a circumference of a circle on which a radially elastically deformable tubular element bears under the effect of the thrust of rollers which the rotor comprises, which tubular element is in communication relationship on the one hand with the reservoir of liquid to be sprayed via a suction tube and on the other hand with the spray nozzle via a liquid supply circuit , said
- the machine has a water tank, the spray nozzle is removably attached to the front of the machine and the suction tube is removably mounted in the paint tank so that for cleaning the circuit, the suction tube can be immersed in the water tank and the nozzle can be arranged either in the water tank or in the paint tank.
- the sealed capacity constituting the expansion vessel is constituted by a tubular element, wound on itself according to one or more vertical loops fixed to the machine, said tube receiving the pressure gauge at the end.
- the geometric axis of winding of the vertical loops is horizontal and parallel to the axis of advance of the machine.
- the metal chassis of the machine receives the axle of the rear wheel train as well as the maneuvering handle and supports a plastic shell fitted with the front wheel train, this shell receiving in particular the paint tank, water tank, spray nozzle and paint supply system.
- the advantage of such a configuration lies in the fact that the thrust forces exerted on the operating handle are directly transmitted to the metal frame which constitutes the most solid part of the machine.
- the hull only supports the weight of the paint and water tanks and does not undergo any thrust or support force, it may be made up of thin walls which are properly ribbed. As the rear wheel set is loaded by the pushing force exerted by the user on the maneuvering handle, the risk of slipping of the rear wheels is greatly reduced.
- the rotor of the peristaltic pump is coupled to the rear axle. Any failure in the operation of the pump is thus avoided.
- the pump rotor is in coupling relationship with the axle which carries it, by means of a ratchet mechanism which couples the rotor to the axle when the machine is driven forward and uncouples between the rotor and the axle when the machine is driven rearward. This avoids the reflux of the paint to the tank when the machine is driven backwards.
- the stator of the pump is articulated to a support plate, fixed to the shell of the machine and is held in position around the rotor by an elastic member.
- the machine in front of the spray nozzle is provided with a pallet comprising a lower horizontal lip, preferably straight, subject to come into contact with the surface to be painted in order to sweep it .
- FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the machine, the spraying being activated
- FIG. 3 is a front view of a peristaltic pump of the machine according to the invention
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the axle of the rear wheel train at the level of the ratchet mechanism
- FIG. 6 is a front view of a handle of the machine according to the invention
- FIG. 7 is a top view of a scanning palette
- FIG. 8 is a front view of an articulated mount supporting the spray nozzle.
- the machine according to the invention for projecting onto the surface on which it operates, a jet of liquid paint with a view to the formation on this surface of a marking in the form of a line, is preferably manually movable, and comprises a chassis 1, metallic, receiving a maneuvering handle 20, and a train 2 of rear wheels.
- This chassis 1 supports a rigid shell 4 receiving a front wheel train 3.
- This shell 4 supports in particular a reservoir 5 of liquid paint, a spray nozzle 6 installed at the front of the machine and the stator 8 of a peristaltic pump 7, the rotor 9 of which is coupled to the axle 2a of the rear wheel assembly by means of a ratchet mechanism 10 which couples the rotor 9 to the axle 2a when the machine is pushed forward and which uncouples when the machine is pulled back, the rotor 9 being fixed in translation on the axle 2a.
- the peristaltic pump 7, by its suction, is connected to a suction tube 12 removably engaged in the reservoir 5 and by its discharge is connected to a circuit 13 for supplying the spray nozzle 6.
- the tube suction 12 has a suction opening brought as close as possible to the bottom of the tank.
- the supply circuit 13 comprises a member 14 for controlling the circulation of liquid, such as a tap, operated remotely from the handle 20, by an operating mechanism 15. Under the effect of the action of the user on the operating mechanism 15, the valve 14 can be arranged either in the closed position to prevent the supply of the nozzle 6 or in the open position to allow the supply of this nozzle.
- the metal frame 1 comprises for example two metal stirrups supporting by means of two bearings 2b, the axle 2a of the rear wheel train. These two stirrups receive in fixing the handle 20 and the rigid shell 4.
- the maneuvering handle 20 receives the pushing or traction force exerted by the user in order to move the machine forward or towards the 'back.
- This maneuvering handle 20 is for example constituted by a bent tube so as to substantially match the contour of a U.
- This maneuvering handle 20 therefore has two lateral segments 20a intended to be fixed to the two stirrups 1a of the chassis 1 and a basal segment 20b constituting a grip handle.
- the rigid shell 4 obtained for example by rotational molding, is hollow and comprises an upper wall 4a and a lower wall 4b linked to one another. Laterally, the shell 4 has two forms of mudguard 4c which constitute stiffening ribs. In the lower part, the shell 4 also has two lateral ribs of rigidity 4d.
- the shell 4 in the upper part has one or more recesses imprinted to receive the tank or tanks, as well as the various instruments necessary for the operation and maintenance of the machine.
- each stirrup has a U-shaped cross section and comprises a basal wing 1b and two lateral wings 1c.
- the metal stirrups, by their lateral wings le, are intended to come from either side of the two lower lateral ribs 4d of the shell 4 to which they are fixed by buttoning or other means.
- each stirrup receives it in fixing one of the two bearings 2b of the axle 2a.
- each bearing 2b of the axle 2a is formed by a block of synthetic material.
- the material used may be that known under the trade name of "Teflon".
- the axle 2a has two stop rings forming shoulders.
- stop rings The purpose of these stop rings is to immobilize the axle 2a in translation relative to the bearings 2b.
- the rear wheels are fixed to the axle 2a for one in translation and rotation and for the other in translation only so as to be able to rotate relative to the axle.
- Each stirrup has it projecting from the lower surface of its basal wing 1b, a threaded, projecting pin, intended to be engaged in a through hole made in the lower wall of the shell 4 and opening into the internal volume of said shell.
- this hole passing through the upper wall of the shell 4 has another through hole through which is engaged in the internal volume of the shell 4 a metal sheath 16 having in the lower part a thread. By this tapping, the sleeve 16 is screwed to the corresponding Petrier threaded pin.
- each sleeve 16 by its upper end projects beyond the shell 4.
- the projecting part of each sleeve 16 is equipped with a mechanism for blocking the corresponding segment of the operating handle.
- This locking mechanism is constituted for example by a pressure screw engaged in a radial through thread formed in the projecting part of the sheath and brought into pressure, by screwing, against the operating handle. This arrangement ensures on the one hand the immobilization of the handle, but also allows the height adjustment of the latter. It is understood that thanks to the configuration of the chassis 1, the thrust or traction force exerted by the user on the maneuvering handle 20 is transmitted entirely to the axle 2a and in no way to the hull 4.
- This arrangement allows further, by transferring to the axle 2a part of the thrust force exerted by the user on the maneuvering handle 20, to increase the grip of the rear wheels on the ground and to overcome the counter torque exerted by the rotor 9 of the pump 7 on the axle 2a.
- the risk of an irregular drive of the rotor 9 of the pump 7 is eliminated.
- the ā stator 8 of the peristaltic pump 7 comprises a stator body 8s, provided, facing the rotor 9 and centered with respect to the latter, a bearing surface 8b, in an arc of circumference of circle, on which is supported, a tubular element 11, radially deformable in an elastic manner under the effect of the thrust of pressure rollers 9a that comprises the rotor 9.
- These pressure rollers 9a are regularly spaced from one another. Each roller 9a pinches the tubular element, the pinched area moving with the roller. The pinching carried out ensures a tight partitioning of the tubular element, this partitioning opposing any passage of liquid through the pinched area.
- the stator body 8a of the pump 8 is in the form of a hoop and is articulated by one of its ends to a support plate 7a, fixed to the lower wall of the shell 4. By its other end, the stator body 8a cooperates with at least one elastic member 17. Under the effect of the action of this elastic member, the stator 8a is held in position around the rotor 9.
- this other end is provided with at least one through hole in which is engaged a threaded rod 18 secured to the support plate 7a.
- this threaded rod 18 receives in screwing an adjusting and holding nut 19.
- the elastic member 17, constituted by a coil spring, is mounted on this threaded rod between the stator body 8a and the nut 19
- two threaded rods 18, two springs 17 and two nuts will be provided.
- This tubular element 11 preferably made of synthetic material flexible, is positioned on the surface 8b and is engaged in two through holes made in the body of the stator 8a respectively upstream and downstream of said surface 8b.
- the plate 7a and the bearings 2b supporting the axle 2a are fixed relative to each other.
- a reinforcing element may be disposed between this wall and the bearings 2b, this reinforcing element possibly, for example taking the form of an arch fixed on the one hand to said wall and on the other hand to the stirrups supporting the bearings 2b.
- the rotor 9 of the pump 7 comprises a smooth bearing 9b by which it is engaged on the axle 2a and a flange 9c fixed to this smooth bearing, this flange carrying on the one hand the rollers 9a, and on the other hand in an articulated manner, the pawl 10a of the pawl mechanism 10.
- the rollers 9a are mounted in free rotation and fixed in translation on axes fixed cantilevered on the flange 9c of the rotor 9.
- the rollers 9a and the axes which support them are parallel to the axle 2a as well as to the bearing surface 8b of the stator body 8. These rollers 9a are regularly away from each other.
- the rotor 9 has at least three rollers 9a.
- the pawl 10a is mounted on a pin fixed cantilevered on the flange of the rotor 9.
- the pawl 10a is designed to cooperate in shape engagement with notches 10b formed in the axle 2a.
- the pawl 10a is returned to the engagement position in the notches 10b by an elastic member 10c such as a coil spring fixed on the one hand to said pawl and on the other hand to the flange 9c of the rotor 9.
- the supply circuit 13 in painting comprises upstream of the valve 14 a pressure regulator 21 comprising an inlet in communication relation with the tubular element 11 by means of a filter 22, a first paint outlet in communication relation with the valve 14 and a second paint outlet in communication relation with the reservoir via a return line 21a.
- This return line 21a has a paint delivery orifice disposed as close as possible to the bottom of the hinge tank.
- the second output of the pressure regulator 21 changes to an open state so that the liquid discharged by the pump 7 can return to the reservoir 5, the communication between the inlet of the regulator and the first outlet being always ensured.
- the machine can move forward, without the need to offload the pump by spraying.
- the pump 7 sheds water in the tank 5 and simultaneously sucks the liquid paint contained in the latter, in this way, before spraying, automatic mixing of the paint in the tank 5 and a homogeneous mixture of different constituents of paint.
- the supply circuit 13 is associated with a sealed capacity 23 filled with air constituting an expansion vessel.
- This capacity 23 is pressurized by the pressure rise in the supply circuit under the effect of the pump flow. Thanks to this capacity 23, the supply circuit 13 of the nozzle 6, for its part upstream of the valve 14, is always kept under pressure so that the spraying begins as soon as the valve 14 is open. The energy reserve constituted by this capacity 23 thus authorizes a spraying, the pump 7 stopped.
- the tracing of the lines of corner and penalty points will be operated with the machine stopped, by the user.
- the part of the supply circuit, downstream from the tap 13 will be constituted by a flexible plastic tube of sufficient length to carry out these tracings by hand. As an example, this length will be of the order of 1.50 meters to 2 meters.
- the capacity 23 is constituted by a tubular element, wound on itself according to one or more vertical loops fixed to the machine. The lower end of this tubular element is connected to the supply circuit 13 by a T-connector. The upper end of the tubular element is located above the vertical loop (s) formed and receives a pressure gauge 24.
- This upper end is preferably arranged at a height level greater than maximum level of paint in the tank so that the pressure gauge 24 is always disposed above this level.
- a tube with an internal diameter of about 8 millimeters and a length of 2 meters will be used to form the capacity 23 .
- These vertical loops are positioned relative to the machine so that their winding axis is horizontal and parallel to the advancement axis of the machine. Because of this arrangement, the loops, when the machine is lying on the side remain vertical which avoids any backflow of paint towards the pressure gauge 24, the paint being trapped in the lower part of the vertical loop (s).
- the pressure gauge 24 will be mounted on a plate fixed to the handle 20 for maneuvering and as close as possible to the shape of the handle 20b that the latter comprises, so that it can be easily read by the user.
- the loops formed by the tubular element 23 will advantageously be arranged in the shell 4 of the machine, in a chamber that the latter comprises at the rear.
- the operating mechanism 15 comprises a handle 15a, of the ambidextrous type, articulated to the operating handle 20, a 'cable 15b in sheath, fixed on the one hand to the handle 15a and on the other part to a maneuvering lever 14a which has the tap 14 and an elastic member 15c fixed on the one hand to the lever 14a of the maneuvering valve 14 and on the other hand to the rigid shell 4, this elastic member urging the maneuvering lever 14a in the direction of closing the valve 14.
- the operating handle 15a is in the form of a hoop and has two end journals by which it is engaged in articulation on the one hand in a radial hole made in one of the lateral segments 20a of the handle 20 and on the other hand in a radial hole made in the other lateral segment of the handle, this handle 15a extending from one lateral segment to the other.
- a plate To the operating handle 15a is fixed a plate. To this plate is fixed 30 the corresponding end of the cable 15b.
- a pulling force is printed on the cable 15b which is communicated to the maneuvering lever 14a of the tap 14.
- the lever maneuver 14a is moved against the action of the elastic return member 15c from a position corresponding to the closing of the valve 14 to a position corresponding to the opening of the latter to authorize the supply of the nozzle 6 in painting and consequently spraying.
- This spraying is normally carried out when the machine is pushed forward by the user, but it can also be carried out when the machine is stopped as long as the air contained in the tank 23 is at sufficient pressure. It is understood that during this spraying when stopped, the air contained in the capacity 23 gradually relaxes.
- the pressure drop at the nozzle on the one hand and the pressure of the liquid delivered by the pump on the other are sufficient to ensure the rise of liquid in the capacity which compresses the air contained in the latter.
- the capacity thus constitutes a reserve of energy and absorbs to some extent the variations in pressure due for example to variations in the speed of the machine. Spraying occurs as long as the handle 15a is held by the user against the basal segment 20b of the operating handle. As soon as the user releases the handle 15a, the elastic member 15c returns the tap to the closed position by action on the lever 14a. The cable 15b is then pulled by the lever 14a which brings the handle 15a back to the initial position.
- a non-return element 39 is arranged on the liquid path, upstream from the point of connection of the capacity 23 to the circuit 13.
- This non-return element may be constituted by a non-return valve.
- this non-return valve 39 is arranged on the suction tube 12 as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the non-return valve 39 is disposed at a distance from the suction orifice that the suction tube comprises, but this non-return valve can be mounted in said orifice or in a strainer associated with the latter.
- This arrangement avoids the emptying of the part of the tube immersed in the tank.
- the spray nozzle 6 is offset laterally with respect to the machine so that the marking carried out cannot be degraded by the passage of the wheels or by the steps of the user.
- the spray nozzle 6 will produce two jets of paint, one of which will be directed towards the front of the machine and the other towards the rear.
- the nozzle 6 Being a spray on a grassed surface, this arrangement allows the paint to be applied to the anterior and posterior faces of the blades of grass in a single pass.
- the nozzle 6 is removably engaged in a vertical sleeve 31 open at both ends, carried by a horizontal support 26 secured to a support structure 30 fixed to the shell 4 of the machine. This horizontal support is transverse to the direction of advance of the machine.
- the nozzle 6 is provided with a suspension hook 6a by which it is suspended from the vertical sleeve 31.
- this vertical sleeve 31 is mounted in an adjustable manner in height on the transverse support 26.
- This arrangement makes it possible to adjust the height of the nozzle 6 with respect to the ground and consequently the width of the line drawn, the jet at the outlet of the nozzle being flat and triangular.
- the position of the vertical sleeve 31 along the transverse support 26 will be adjustable.
- the machine is provided with a pallet 28 disposed in front of the nozzle 6, said pallet comprising a lower lip subject to come into contact with the surface to be painted with a view to cleaning it by sweeping and essentially driving out the dew.
- the transverse support 26, laterally to the sheath 31 is fixed a second horizontal support 32 in the form of a rigid bar, extending parallel to the direction of advance of the machine. By its distal end, this support 32 carries in front of the nozzle 6, by means of a elastic link 33, the pallet 34.
- This pallet 34 will advantageously be made of an elastically deformable synthetic material.
- the latter is arranged obliquely relative to the direction of advance of the machine.
- the elastic connection 33 is advantageously constituted by a coil spring with contiguous turns, fixed on the one hand to the distal end of the horizontal support 32 and on the other hand to the pallet 34. Thanks to this elastic connection arrangement 33, the pallet 34, when it encounters an obstacle, which can for example be a goal post, can easily be erased in front of the obstacle, by deformation of the elastic connection. It therefore becomes possible to carry out the marking up to the obstacle encountered.
- the support structure 30 comprises a horizontal tube 35 fixed to the lower wall 4b of the shell 4, this tube comprising at the front end a vertical sleeve in which is engaged and locked, by a pressure screw, a nozzle vertical fixed to the transverse support 26.
- the support structure 30 always comprises the horizontal tube 35 fixed to the lower wall 4b of the shell 4, this tube always comprising at the front end a vertical sleeve " in which is engaged and blocked by a pressure screw, a vertical end piece no longer fixed to the transverse support 26, but to one of the two elements 37 of an articulation 36 with a horizontal axis and perpendicular to the direction of advance of the machine.
- the element 38 of the articulation is arranged as a lever arm and receives at the distal end on the one hand the transverse support 26 and on the other hand a support member 27 on the ground which can be const ituted by a wheel, by a sliding pad or other.
- the advantage of such an arrangement lies in the fact that the nozzle 6 can follow the irregularities of the ground so that the width of the line formed will be uniform.
- the machine will also be equipped with a water tank 25 for cleaning the pump, the supply circuit and the spray nozzle 6. To clean the suction tube 12 will be immersed in the tank 25 and the machine will be driven forward. This cleaning can perfectly be carried out immediately after tracing, in particular during the journey of return of the machine to the technical room.
- the valve 14 is opened by action on the handle 15a.
- the cleaning water should be collected.
- the nozzle 6 is immersed in the paint tank or else in the water tank.
- the machine as described is mainly intended for marking sports fields with or without grass, but it goes without saying that it can be used for the formation of marks on any other type of surface, for example on traffic lanes and the like.
- the use of the machine is not limited to spraying a paint, so the machine can be used for spraying surface treatment liquids such as weed killers, fertilizers, etc.
- the present invention can receive all arrangements and variants in the field of technical equivalences without departing from the scope of this patent.

Description
MACHINE MOBILE POUR PROJETER SUR UNE SURFACE HORIZONTALE FIXE UN JET DE LIQUIDE, PAR EXEMPLE DE LA PEINTURE, EN VUE DE LA FORMATION D'UNE LIGNE. Domaine technique La prĆ©sente invention est relative Ć une machine mobile pour projeter sur une surface fixe un jet de liquide par exemple de la peinture en vue du traƧage d'une ligne colorĆ©e. Plus prĆ©cisĆ©ment, l'invention est relative Ć une machine Ć tracer des lignes par projection de peinture liquide et dĆ©placement conjoint, principalement destinĆ©e au traƧage des limites des aires de jeu d'un terrain de sport. Ćtat de la technique On connaĆ®t du brevet EP 302 037 une machine Ć tracer des bandes sur un terrain de sport afin de dĆ©limiter les aires de jeu, ces bandes Ć©tant formĆ©es par projection d'une peinture liquide. Cette machine Ć tracer est dĆ©plaƧable manuellement et comprend un chĆ¢ssis montĆ© sur roues, pourvu d'une anse de manoeuvre, sur lequel sont installĆ©s un rĆ©servoir de peinture et une pompe en relation de communication d'une part avec ledit rĆ©servoir et d'autre part avec une buse de pulvĆ©risation installĆ©e Ć l'avant du chĆ¢ssis de la machine. La pompe, du type pĆ©ristaltique, est en prise par son rotor avec l'essieu de l'un des trains de roues du chĆ¢ssis. Le stator de cette pompe prĆ©sente en regard du rotor une surface arquĆ©e en arc de circonfĆ©rence de cercle sur laquelle les rouleaux du rotor compriment un tube d'aspiration et de refoulement de la peinture. Pour absorber la pression et le dĆ©bit de la pompe alors que la buse est encore fermĆ©e est prĆ©vu en amont de la buse, un vase d'expansion du type fermĆ©. Ce vase d'expansion, occupe un niveau infĆ©rieur par rapport au fond du rĆ©servoir de peinture et comprend une chambre Ć©tanche dans laquelle pĆ©nĆØtre d'une part le tube de refoulement de la pompe et d'autre part le tube d'alimentation de la buse de pulvĆ©risation. Lorsque la buse de pulvĆ©risation est fermĆ©e, la pĆ©nĆ©tration de la peinture dans le vase comprime la masse d'air que contient ce dernier. L'Ć©nergie ainsi accumulĆ©e est ensuite restituĆ©e au circuit de pulvĆ©risation en vue par exemple d'assurer une pulvĆ©risation de peinture sans actionnement de la pompe. Ce vase d'expansion comporte en outre un manomĆØtre qui renseigne l'utilisateur sur la pression rĆ©gnant dans le circuit de pulvĆ©risation. Par ce biais l'utilisateur peut savoir si la pression est suffisante pour dĆ©buter le marquage. La faible quantitĆ© de peinture que peut absorber le vase, en dehors de toute pulvĆ©risation de peinture, interdit le dĆ©placement de la machine sur des distances consĆ©quentes sans rendre inopĆ©rante la pompe pĆ©ristaltique. Pour ce faire le stator est montĆ© mobile et peut ĆŖtre angulairement Ć©cartĆ© de sa position normale d'utilisation par un mĆ©canisme de dĆ©sactivation. Ce mĆ©canisme comprend essentiellement un cĆ¢ble de traction, sous gaine, solidarisĆ© Ć une poignĆ©e de manÅuvre fixĆ©e Ć l'anse. Le mouvement d'Ć©cartement du stator s'effectue Ć rencontre de l'action d'un ressort de rappel qui tend Ć ramener ledit stator dans sa position initiale c'est-Ć -dire dans la position d'activation de la pompe. Ce mĆ©camsme de dĆ©sactivation, dans la pratique, est aussi utilisĆ© pour dĆ©sactiver la pompe lorsque la machine est tractĆ©e vers l'arriĆØre ce qui Ć©vite tout reflux de peinture vers le rĆ©servoir. Divulgation de l'invention ProblĆØme technique L'intĆ©rĆŖt d'une telle machine rĆ©side essentiellement dans le fait que le dĆ©bit en sortie de pompe est en Ć©troite relation avec la vitesse de son dĆ©placement de sorte que l'on obtient une bonne rĆ©gularitĆ© de marquage malgrĆ© des variations de la vitesse de dĆ©placement. Cependant cette machine prĆ©sente un certain nombre de problĆØmes. Notamment la nĆ©cessitĆ© d'utiliser un mĆ©camsme de dĆ©sactivation de la pompe pour que ladite machine puisse Ć©voluer sur une distance relativement importante sans dĆ©clenchement de la pulvĆ©risation, complexifie sa rĆ©alisation et augmente son coĆ»t de revient. Par ailleurs la prĆ©sence d'un tel mĆ©canisme augmente aussi les travaux d'entretien. Un autre inconvĆ©nient de la machine est Ć©troitement hĆ© Ć la nature de la peinture utilisĆ©e. Cette derniĆØre est habituellement obtenue par dilution dans de l'eau d'une peinture de base en phase aqueuse sujette Ć sĆ©dimentation, de sorte qu'une pĆ©riode plus ou moins longue d' inutilisation de la machine se traduit par un dĆ©pĆ“t de la pemture sur le fond du rĆ©servoir. Or cette machine n'est dotĆ©e d'aucun moyen d'agitation automatique de la peinture avant utilisation de sorte que si l'utilisateur n'y prend pas garde, seule de l'eau faiblement chargĆ©e en peinture et donc faiblement colorĆ©e sera pulvĆ©risĆ©e. La qualitĆ© du marquage s'en trouvera grandement affectĆ©e. Un autre inconvĆ©nient de cette machine rĆ©side dans le colmatage rapide du vase d'expansion et dans la difficultĆ© de nettoyer ce dernier ainsi que le circuit de pulvĆ©risation. En effet au contact de l'air contenu dans le vase, on observe un sĆ©chage plus ou moins rapide de la peinture et un dĆ©pĆ“t de matiĆØres sĆØches sur les parois du vase. Comme la machine n'est dotĆ©e d'aucun moyen d'autonettoyage, le nettoyage du circuit de pulvĆ©risation n'est pas effectuĆ© ou est mal effectuĆ©. Un autre inconvĆ©nient de cette machine rĆ©side dans le fait que couchĆ©e sur le cĆ“tĆ© en vue de son entretien par exemple, de la peinture prĆ©sente dans le vase d'expansion et dans le circuit de pulvĆ©risation peut refluer vers le manomĆØtre et obturer ce dernier de maniĆØre irrĆ©versible. Cet inconvĆ©nient se traduit par l'obligation de remplacer le manomĆØtre. Enfin la conception du chĆ¢ssis de la machine, sous forme de cadre en Ć©lĆ©ments mĆ©talliques soudĆ©s, accroĆ®t notablement le coĆ»t de cette derniĆØre, alors que les efforts qu'elle supporte sont relativement peu importants et ne nĆ©cessitent pas une telle conception. Solution technique La prĆ©sente invention a pour objet de pallier les inconvĆ©nients prĆ©cĆ©demment citĆ©s en mettant en Åuvre une machine du genre prĆ©citĆ© pour laquelle il n'est nul besoin de dĆ©brayer la pompe lorsqu'elle Ć©volue en marche avant avec la buse de pulvĆ©risation fermĆ©e, la pompe Ć©tant alors utilisĆ©e pour brasser la peinture contenue dans le rĆ©servoir. Un autre but de la prĆ©sente invention est de proposer une machine autonettoyante. Un autre but de la prĆ©sente invention est de proposer une machine avec des moyens particuliĆØrement simples pour Ć©viter que de la peinture ne reflue vers le manomĆØtre lorsqu'elle est couchĆ©e sur le cĆ“tĆ©. Un autre but de la prĆ©sente invention est de proposer une machine avec un chĆ¢ssis simplifiĆ© mais solide. Ć cet effet, la machine selon l'invention, pour projeter sur la surface horizontale fixe sur laquelle elle Ć©volue, un jet de liquide, par exemple de la peinture en vue de la formation sur cette surface d'une marque sous forme de ligne, ladite machine comportant un chĆ¢ssis, un train de roues avant et un train de roues arriĆØre, un rĆ©servoir de liquide Ć pulvĆ©riser, au moins une buse de pulvĆ©risation installĆ©e Ć l'avant et une pompe du genre pĆ©ristaltique comportant un rotor accouplĆ© Ć l'essieu de l'un des deux trains de roues et un stator comportant un corps de stator comprenant en regard du rotor et de maniĆØre centrĆ©e par rapport Ć ce dernier une surface d'appui en arc de circonfĆ©rence de cercle sur laquelle prend appui un Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire dĆ©formable radialement de maniĆØre Ć©lastique sous l'effet de la poussĆ©e de rouleaux que comporte le rotor, lequel Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire est en relation de communication d'une part avec le rĆ©servoir de liquide Ć pulvĆ©riser par rentremise d'un tube d'aspiration et d'autre part avec la buse de pulvĆ©risation par l'intermĆ©diaire d'un circuit d'alimentation en liquide, ladite buse ou ledit circuit comportant un organe de commande de la circulation du liquide Ć pulvĆ©riser, commandĆ© Ć distance par IntermĆ©diaire d'un mĆ©canisme de manÅuvre et pouvant prendre Ć la commande une position d'ouverture permettant la pulvĆ©risation du liquide et une position de fermeture interdisant cette pulvĆ©risation, se caractĆ©rise essentiellement en ce que ledit circuit d'alimentation en liquide Ć pulvĆ©riser comprend en amont de l'organe de commande de la circulation du liquide, un rĆ©gulateur de pression comportant une entrĆ©e de liquide, une premiĆØre sortie d'alimentation de la buse par l'intermĆ©diaire de l'organe de commande de la circulation et une seconde sortie de liquide connectĆ©e au rĆ©servoir de liquide par un circuit de retour, ladite seconde sortie dĆ©livrant un flux de liquide vers le rĆ©servoir lorsque la pression du flux de liquide dans le rĆ©gulateur devient Ć©gale ou supĆ©rieure Ć une valeur de calibrage, ledit circuit d'alimentation Ć©tant connectĆ© en aval de la premiĆØre sortie du rĆ©gulateur de pression Ć une capacitĆ© Ć©tanche remplie d'air constituant vase d'expansion. Lors du trajet aller de la machine vers le lieu de pulvĆ©risation, le fait de maintenir l'organe de commande la circulation de liquide en position de fermeture provoque dans l'ordre la pressurisation de l'air contenu dans la capacitĆ© Ć©tanche et lorsque la pression de tarage est atteinte, le retour du liquide vers le rĆ©servoir. Par ailleurs comme le circuit d'alimentation se trouve sous pression, la pulvĆ©risation de la peinture dĆ©butera dĆØs l'ouverture de l'organe de commande de la circulation de liquide. Comme la pompe se trouve dĆ©lestĆ©e par ce retour vers le rĆ©servoir, du liquide qui est aspirĆ© en continu dans ce mĆŖme rĆ©servoir, aucune surpression du conduit de la pompe pouvant conduire Ć la dĆ©tĆ©rioration de ce dernier par explosion n'est Ć craindre. S'agissant d'une peinture diluĆ©e dans de l'eau et dont la matiĆØre solide est sujette Ć sĆ©dimentation, le retour vers le rĆ©servoir et l'aspiration ont des effets de brassage, de mĆ©lange et d'homogĆ©nĆ©isation de cette peinture dans le rĆ©servoir. Ainsi le dĆ©pĆ“t qui est susceptible de s'ĆŖtre formĆ© dans le rĆ©servoir par sĆ©dimentation sera mĆ©langĆ© de maniĆØre homogĆØne au solvant en l'espĆØce l'eau et ce avant pulvĆ©risation de la peinture. Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, la machine embarque un rĆ©servoir d'eau, la buse de pulvĆ©risation est fixĆ©e de maniĆØre amovible Ć l'avant de la machine et le tube d'aspiration est montĆ© de maniĆØre amovible dans le rĆ©servoir de peinture de faƧon qu'en vue du nettoyage du circuit, le tube d'aspiration puisse ĆŖtre plongĆ© dans le rĆ©servoir d'eau et la buse puisse ĆŖtre disposĆ©e soit dans le rĆ©servoir d'eau soit dans le rĆ©servoir de peinture. Le nettoyage de la machine et plus prĆ©cisĆ©ment de la pompe et du circuit d'alimentation pourra se faire alors de maniĆØre automatique au cours du trajet retour de la machine vers son local technique. Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, la capacitĆ© Ć©tanche constituant vase d'expansion est constituĆ©e par un Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire, enroulĆ© sur lui-mĆŖme selon une ou plusieurs boucles verticales fixĆ©es Ć la machine, ledit tube recevant en extrĆ©mitĆ© le manomĆØtre. Selon une disposition avantageuse de l'invention, l'axe gĆ©omĆ©trique d'enroulement des boucles verticales est horizontal et parallĆØle Ć l'axe d'avancement de la machine. Lorsque la machine est couchĆ©e sur le cĆ“tĆ© c'est-Ć -dire sur l'un de ses flancs latĆ©raux, la ou les boucle (s) que forme le tube demeurent verticales. Pour cette raison, la peinture liquide ne peut refluer vers le manomĆØtre, elle demeure toujours dans la partie infĆ©rieure des boucles. Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, le chĆ¢ssis mĆ©tallique de la machine reƧoit l'essieu du train de roues arriĆØre ainsi que l'anse de manÅuvre et supporte une coque en matiĆØre synthĆ©tique dotĆ©e du train de roues avant, cette coque recevant notamment le rĆ©servoir de peinture, le rĆ©servoir d'eau, la buse de pulvĆ©risation et le circuit d'alimentation en peinture. L'avantage d'une telle configuration rĆ©side dans le fait que les efforts de poussĆ©es exercĆ©s sur l'anse de manÅuvre sont directement transmis au chĆ¢ssis mĆ©tallique qui constitue la partie la plus solide de la machine. De surcroĆ®t comme la coque ne supporte que le poids des rĆ©servoirs de peinture et d'eau et ne subit aucun effort de poussĆ©e ou d'appui, elle pourra ĆŖtre constituĆ©e en parois minces correctement nervurĆ©es. Comme le train de roues arriĆØre se trouve chargĆ© par l'effort de poussĆ©e exercĆ© par l'utilisateur sur l'anse de manÅuvre, le risque de patinage des roues arriĆØre se trouve fortement rĆ©duit. Pour cette raison, selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le rotor de la pompe pĆ©ristaltique est accouplĆ© Ć l'essieu arriĆØre. Est Ć©vitĆ© ainsi tout ratĆ© dans le fonctionnement de la pompe. Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, le rotor de la pompe est en relation d'accouplement avec l'essieu qui le porte, par l'intermĆ©diaire d'un mĆ©canisme de cliquet qui rĆ©alise l'accouplement du rotor Ć l'essieu lorsque la machine est entraĆ®nĆ©e vers l'avant et rĆ©alise le dĆ©saccouplement entre le rotor et l'essieu lorsque la machine est entraĆ®nĆ©e vers l'arriĆØre. Est Ć©vitĆ© ainsi le reflux de la peinture vers le rĆ©servoir lorsque la machine est entraĆ®nĆ©e vers l'arriĆØre. Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, le stator de la pompe est articulĆ© Ć une platine support, fixĆ©e Ć la coque de la machine et est maintenu en position autour du rotor par un organe Ć©lastique. Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, la machine en avant de la buse de pulvĆ©risation est pourvue d'une palette comportant une lĆØvre infĆ©rieure horizontale, de prĆ©fĆ©rence rectiligne, assujettie Ć venir au contact de la surface Ć peindre en- vue de la balayer.MOBILE MACHINE FOR PROJECTING ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE FIXED A JET OF LIQUID, FOR EXAMPLE OF PAINTING, WITH A VIEW TO THE FORMATION OF A LINE. Technical Field The present invention relates to a mobile machine for projecting onto a fixed surface a jet of liquid, for example paint for the purpose of tracing a colored line. More specifically, the invention relates to a machine for drawing lines by spraying liquid paint and joint movement, mainly intended for tracing the limits of the playing areas of a sports field. STATE OF THE ART EP 302 037 discloses a machine for tracing bands on a sports field in order to delimit the playing areas, these bands being formed by spraying a liquid paint. This marking machine is manually movable and comprises a chassis mounted on wheels, provided with an operating handle, on which are installed a paint tank and a pump in communication relation on the one hand with said tank and on the other hand with a spray nozzle installed at the front of the machine frame. The pump, of the peristaltic type, is engaged by its rotor with the axle of one of the undercarriages of the chassis. The stator of this pump has, opposite the rotor, an arcuate surface with an arc of circumference on which the rollers of the rotor compress a suction and delivery tube for the paint. In order to absorb the pressure and the flow rate of the pump while the nozzle is still closed, an expansion tank of the closed type is provided upstream of the nozzle. This expansion tank occupies a lower level relative to the bottom of the paint tank and includes a sealed chamber into which the delivery tube of the pump enters on the one hand and the nozzle supply tube on the other hand spray. When the spray nozzle is closed, the penetration of the paint into the vase compresses the mass of air it contains. The energy thus accumulated is then returned to the spraying circuit with a view, for example, to spraying paint without actuating the pump. This expansion tank further includes a pressure gauge which informs the user of the pressure prevailing in the spraying circuit. In this way the user can know if the pressure is sufficient to start marking. The small amount of paint that the vase can absorb, apart from any paint spraying, prevents the machine from moving over considerable distances without making the peristaltic pump inoperative. To do this, the stator is mounted mobile and can be angularly moved from its normal position of use by a deactivation mechanism. This mechanism essentially comprises a traction cable, in a sheath, secured to a maneuvering handle fixed to the handle. The stator spacing movement takes place against the action of a return spring which tends to return said stator to its initial position, that is to say to the pump activation position. This deactivation mechanism, in practice, is also used to deactivate the pump when the machine is pulled backwards which prevents any backflow of paint to the tank. Disclosure of the invention Technical problem The advantage of such a machine lies essentially in the fact that the flow rate at the pump outlet is closely related to the speed of its movement so that good marking regularity is obtained despite variations in movement speed. However, this machine presents a number of problems. In particular the need to use a pump deactivation mechanism so that said machine can operate over a relatively large distance without triggering the spraying, complicates its production and increases its cost price. Furthermore, the presence of such a mechanism also increases maintenance work. Another disadvantage of the machine is closely related to the nature of the paint used. The latter is usually obtained by dilution in water of a base paint in aqueous phase subject to sedimentation, so that a more or less long period of non-use of the machine results in a deposit of the paint on the bottom of the tank. However, this machine is not provided with any means of automatic stirring of the paint before use so that if the user is not careful, only water lightly loaded with paint and therefore weakly colored will be sprayed. The quality of the marking will be greatly affected. Another disadvantage of this machine lies in the rapid clogging of the expansion tank and in the difficulty of cleaning the latter as well as the circuit of spray. Indeed, in contact with the air contained in the vase, we observe a more or less rapid drying of the paint and a deposit of dry matter on the walls of the vase. As the machine does not have any self-cleaning means, cleaning of the spraying circuit is not carried out or is improperly carried out. Another disadvantage of this machine lies in the fact that lying on its side for maintenance, for example, paint present in the expansion tank and in the spraying circuit can flow back to the pressure gauge and close the latter so irreversible. This drawback results in the obligation to replace the pressure gauge. Finally, the design of the machine chassis, in the form of a frame of welded metal elements, significantly increases the cost of the latter, while the forces it supports are relatively unimportant and do not require such a design. Technical solution The object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by implementing a machine of the aforementioned type for which there is no need to disengage the pump when it is moving forward with the spray nozzle closed, the pump then being used to stir the paint contained in the tank. Another object of the present invention is to provide a self-cleaning machine. Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine with particularly simple means to prevent paint from backing up towards the pressure gauge when it is lying on its side. Another object of the present invention is to provide a machine with a simplified but solid chassis. To this end, the machine according to the invention, for projecting onto the fixed horizontal surface on which it operates, a jet of liquid, for example paint with a view to the formation on this surface of a mark in the form of a line, said machine comprising a chassis, a front wheel train and a rear wheel train, a reservoir of liquid to be sprayed, at least one spray nozzle installed at the front and a pump of the peristaltic type comprising a rotor coupled to the axle of one of the two sets of wheels and a stator comprising a stator body comprising at gaze of the rotor and in a centered manner relative to the latter a bearing surface in an arc of a circumference of a circle on which a radially elastically deformable tubular element bears under the effect of the thrust of rollers which the rotor comprises, which tubular element is in communication relationship on the one hand with the reservoir of liquid to be sprayed via a suction tube and on the other hand with the spray nozzle via a liquid supply circuit , said nozzle or said circuit comprising a member for controlling the circulation of the liquid to be sprayed, remotely controlled by means of an operating mechanism and which can assume, when ordered, an open position allowing the spraying of the liquid and a position of closure preventing this spraying, is essentially characterized in that said liquid supply circuit to be sprayed comprises upstream of the liquid circulation control member, a pressure regulator comprising a liquid inlet, a first outlet for supplying the nozzle via the circulation control member and a second liquid outlet connected to the reservoir of liquid by a return circuit, said second outlet delivering a flow of liquid to the reservoir when the pressure of the liquid flow in the regulator becomes equal to or greater than a calibration value, said supply circuit being connected downstream of the first outlet of the pressure regulator to a sealed capacity filled with air constituting an expansion tank. During the outward journey from the machine to the spraying place, the fact of maintaining the control member the circulation of liquid in the closed position causes in order the pressurization of the air contained in the sealed capacity and when the pressure taring is reached, the liquid returns to the reservoir. Furthermore, since the supply circuit is under pressure, the spraying of the paint will start as soon as the liquid circulation control member is opened. As the pump is relieved by this return to the tank, of the liquid which is sucked continuously in this same tank, no overpressure of the pump duct can lead to the deterioration of the latter by explosion is to be feared. As this is a paint diluted in water and the solid matter of which is subject to sedimentation, the return to the tank and the suction have effects of mixing, mixing and homogenization of this paint in the tank. . So the deposit which is likely to have formed in the tank by sedimentation will be homogeneously mixed with the solvent in this case water and this before spraying the paint. According to another characteristic of the invention, the machine has a water tank, the spray nozzle is removably attached to the front of the machine and the suction tube is removably mounted in the paint tank so that for cleaning the circuit, the suction tube can be immersed in the water tank and the nozzle can be arranged either in the water tank or in the paint tank. The cleaning of the machine and more precisely of the pump and of the supply circuit can then be done automatically during the return journey from the machine to its technical room. According to another characteristic of the invention, the sealed capacity constituting the expansion vessel is constituted by a tubular element, wound on itself according to one or more vertical loops fixed to the machine, said tube receiving the pressure gauge at the end. According to an advantageous arrangement of the invention, the geometric axis of winding of the vertical loops is horizontal and parallel to the axis of advance of the machine. When the machine is lying on its side, that is to say on one of its lateral flanks, the loop or loops formed by the tube remain vertical. For this reason, the liquid paint cannot flow back towards the pressure gauge, it always remains in the lower part of the loops. According to another characteristic of the invention, the metal chassis of the machine receives the axle of the rear wheel train as well as the maneuvering handle and supports a plastic shell fitted with the front wheel train, this shell receiving in particular the paint tank, water tank, spray nozzle and paint supply system. The advantage of such a configuration lies in the fact that the thrust forces exerted on the operating handle are directly transmitted to the metal frame which constitutes the most solid part of the machine. In addition, as the hull only supports the weight of the paint and water tanks and does not undergo any thrust or support force, it may be made up of thin walls which are properly ribbed. As the rear wheel set is loaded by the pushing force exerted by the user on the maneuvering handle, the risk of slipping of the rear wheels is greatly reduced. For this reason, according to another aspect of the invention, the rotor of the peristaltic pump is coupled to the rear axle. Any failure in the operation of the pump is thus avoided. According to another characteristic of the invention, the pump rotor is in coupling relationship with the axle which carries it, by means of a ratchet mechanism which couples the rotor to the axle when the machine is driven forward and uncouples between the rotor and the axle when the machine is driven rearward. This avoids the reflux of the paint to the tank when the machine is driven backwards. According to another characteristic of the invention, the stator of the pump is articulated to a support plate, fixed to the shell of the machine and is held in position around the rotor by an elastic member. According to another characteristic of the invention, the machine in front of the spray nozzle is provided with a pallet comprising a lower horizontal lip, preferably straight, subject to come into contact with the surface to be painted in order to sweep it .

Telle que reprĆ©sentĆ©e, la machine selon l'invention, pour projeter sur la surface sur laquelle elle Ć©volue, un jet de peinture liquide en vue de la formation sur cette surface d'un marquage sous forme de ligne, est dĆ©plaƧable manuellement, de prĆ©fĆ©rence, et comprend un chĆ¢ssis 1, mĆ©tallique, recevant une anse de manÅuvre 20, et un train 2 de roues arriĆØre. Ce chĆ¢ssis 1 supporte une coque rigide 4 recevant un train de roues avant 3. Cette coque 4 supporte notamment un rĆ©servoir 5 de peinture liquide, une buse de pulvĆ©risation 6 installĆ©e Ć l'avant de la machine et le stator 8 d'une pompe pĆ©ristaltique 7 dont le rotor 9 est accouplĆ© Ć l'essieu 2a du train de roues arriĆØre par l'intermĆ©diaire d'un mĆ©camsme Ć cliquet 10 qui accouple le rotor 9 Ć l'essieu 2a lorsque la machine est poussĆ©e vers l'avant et qui le dĆ©saccouple lorsque la machine est tirĆ©e vers l'arriĆØre, le rotor 9 Ć©tant fixĆ© en translation sur l'essieu 2a. La pompe pĆ©ristaltique 7, par son aspiration, est connectĆ©e Ć un tube d'aspiration 12 engagĆ© de maniĆØre amovible dans le rĆ©servoir 5 et par son refoulement est connectĆ©e Ć un circuit 13 d'alimentation de la buse de pulvĆ©risation 6. Le tube d'aspiration 12 possĆØde un orifice d'aspiration amenĆ© au plus prĆØs du fond du rĆ©servoir. Le circuit d'alimentation 13 comporte un organe 14 de commande de la circulation de liquide, tel un robinet, manÅuvrĆ© Ć distance depuis l'anse 20, par un mĆ©canisme de manÅuvre 15. Sous l'effet de l'action de l'utilisateur sur le mĆ©camsme de manÅuvre 15, le robinet 14 peut ĆŖtre disposĆ© soit en position de fermeture pour interdire l'alimentation de la buse 6 soit en position d'ouverture pour autoriser l'alimentation de cette buse. Le chĆ¢ssis mĆ©tallique 1 comprend par exemple deux Ć©triers la mĆ©talliques supportant par l'intermĆ©diaire de deux paliers 2b, l'essieu 2a du train de roues arriĆØre. Ces deux Ć©triers reƧoivent en fixation l'anse 20 et la coque rigide 4. L'anse de manÅuvre 20 reƧoit l'effort de poussĆ©e ou de traction exercĆ© par l'utilisateur dans le but de dĆ©placer la machine vers l'avant ou vers l'arriĆØre. Cette anse de manÅuvre 20 est par exemple constituĆ©e par un tube cintrĆ© de faƧon Ć Ć©pouser sensiblement le contour d'un U. Cette anse de manÅuvre 20 prĆ©sente donc deux segments latĆ©raux 20a destinĆ©s Ć ĆŖtre fixĆ©s aux deux Ć©triers la du chĆ¢ssis 1 et un segment basai 20b constituant poignĆ©e de prĆ©hension. La coque rigide 4, obtenue par exemple par rotomoulage, est creuse et comprend une paroi supĆ©rieure 4a et une paroi infĆ©rieure 4b liĆ©es l'une Ć l'autre. LatĆ©ralement, la coque 4 comporte deux formes de garde-boue 4c qui constituent des nervures de rigiditĆ©. En partie infĆ©rieure, la coque 4 prĆ©sente Ć©galement deux nervures latĆ©rales de rigiditĆ© 4d. La coque 4 en partie supĆ©rieure, prĆ©sente une ou plusieurs empreintes en creux prĆ©vues pour recevoir le ou les rĆ©servoirs, ainsi que les divers instruments nĆ©cessaires au fonctionnement et Ć l 'entretien de la machine. Selon la forme prĆ©fĆ©rĆ©e de rĆ©alisation, chaque Ć©trier la prĆ©sente une section droite en U et comprend une aile basale lb et deux ailes latĆ©rales le. Les Ć©triers mĆ©talliques, par leurs ailes latĆ©rales le, sont destinĆ©s Ć venir de part et d'autre respectivement des deux nervures latĆ©rales infĆ©rieures 4d de la coque 4 auxquelles ils sont fixĆ©s par boutonnage ou autres moyens. Sur l'extrados de son aile basale lb, chaque Ć©trier la reƧoit en fixation l'un des deux paliers 2b de l'essieu 2a. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, chaque palier 2b de l'essieu 2a est formĆ© par un bloc en matiĆØre synthĆ©tique. Ć titre d'exemple, la matiĆØre utilisĆ©e pourra ĆŖtre celle connue sous le nom commercial de Ā« TĆ©flon Ā». De part et d'autre de l'un des paliers 2b, l'essieu 2a comporte deux bagues d'arrĆŖt formant Ć©paulements. Ces bagues d'arrĆŖt ont pour but d'immobiliser l'essieu 2a en translation par rapport aux paliers 2b. Les roues arriĆØre sont fixĆ©es Ć l'essieu 2a pour l'une en translation et rotation et pour l'autre en translation seulement de faƧon Ć pouvoir tourner par rapport Ć l'essieu. Chaque Ć©trier la comporte en saillie sur l'intrados de son aile basale lb un pion filetĆ©, saillant, prĆ©vu pour ĆŖtre engagĆ© dans un perƧage traversant pratiquĆ© dans la paroi infĆ©rieure de la coque 4 et dĆ©bouchant dans le volume interne de ladite coque. Ć l'opposĆ© de ce perƧage traversant la paroi supĆ©rieure de la coque 4 prĆ©sente un autre perƧage traversant par lequel est engagĆ© dans le volume interne de la coque 4 un fourreau mĆ©tallique 16 comportant en partie infĆ©rieure un taraudage. Par ce taraudage, le fourreau 16 est vissĆ© au pion filetĆ© de PĆ©trier la correspondant. Chaque fourreau 16 par son extrĆ©mitĆ© supĆ©rieure est en dĆ©bordement par rapport Ć la coque 4. Dans les deux fourreaux 16 sont engagĆ©s respectivement les deux segments latĆ©raux 20a de l'anse 20 de manÅuvre. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, la partie en dĆ©bordement de chaque fourreau 16 est Ć©quipĆ©e d'un mĆ©canisme de blocage du segment correspondant de l'anse de manÅuvre. Ce mĆ©canisme de blocage est constituĆ© par exemple par une vis pression engagĆ©e dans un taraudage traversant radial formĆ© dans la partie dĆ©bordante du fourreau et amenĆ©e en pression, par vissage, contre l'anse de manÅuvre. Cette disposition assure d'une part l'immobilisation de l'anse, mais aussi autorise le rĆ©glage en hauteur de cette derniĆØre. On comprend que grĆ¢ce Ć la configuration du chĆ¢ssis 1, l'effort de poussĆ©e ou de traction exercĆ© par l'utilisateur sur l'anse de manÅuvre 20 est transmis intĆ©gralement Ć l'essieu 2a et aucunement Ć la coque 4. Cette disposition permet en outre, en reportant sur l'essieu 2a une partie de l'effort de poussĆ©e exercĆ© par l'utilisateur sur l'anse de manÅuvre 20, d'augmenter l'adhĆ©rence des roues arriĆØre sur le sol et de vaincre le contre couple exercĆ© par le rotor 9 de la pompe 7 sur l'essieu 2a. Ainsi en s'opposant au patinage des roues arriĆØre, est Ć©cartĆ© le risque d'un entraĆ®nement irrĆ©gulier du rotor 9 de la pompe 7. Le^stator 8 de la pompe pĆ©ristaltique 7 comprend un corps de stator 8s, dotĆ©, en regard du rotor 9 et de maniĆØre centrĆ©e par rapport Ć ce dernier, d'une surface d'appui 8b, en arc de circonfĆ©rence de cercle, sur laquelle prend appui, un Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11, radialement dĆ©formable de maniĆØre Ć©lastique sous l'effet de la poussĆ©e de rouleaux de pression 9a que comporte le rotor 9. Ces rouleaux de pression 9a sont rĆ©guliĆØrement Ć©cartĆ©s les uns des autres. Chaque rouleau 9a rĆ©alise un pincement de l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire, la zone pincĆ©e se dĆ©plaƧant avec le rouleau. Le pincement rĆ©alisĆ© assure un cloisonnement Ć©tanche de l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire, ce cloisonnement s'opposant Ć tout passage de liquide au travers de la zone pincĆ©e. La valeur de l'arc de circonfĆ©rence de cercle selon lequel se dĆ©veloppe la surface d'appui 8b est supĆ©rieure Ć la valeur angulaire de l'arc de circonfĆ©rence entre deux rouleaux de pression consĆ©cutifs de faƧon que l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11 soit toujours pincĆ© par au moins un rouleau 9a. Cet Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11 est raccordĆ© par son extrĆ©mitĆ© amont au tube d'aspiration 12 et par son extrĆ©mitĆ© aval au circuit 13 d'alimentation de la buse 6. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, le corps de stator 8a de la pompe 8 se prĆ©sente sous la forme d'un arceau et est articulĆ© par une de ses extrĆ©mitĆ©s Ć une platine support 7a, fixĆ©e Ć la paroi infĆ©rieure de la coque 4. Par son autre extrĆ©mitĆ©, le corps de stator 8a coopĆØre avec au moins un organe Ć©lastique 17. Sous l'effet de l'action de cet organe Ć©lastique, le stator 8a est maintenu en position autour du rotor 9. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, cette autre extrĆ©mitĆ© est pourvue d'au moins un perƧage traversant dans lequel est engagĆ©e une tige filetĆ©e 18 solidarisĆ©e Ć la platine support 7a. En extrĆ©mitĆ© libre, cette tige filetĆ©e 18 reƧoit en vissage un Ć©crou de rĆ©glage et de maintien 19. L'organe Ć©lastique 17, constituĆ© par un ressort Ć spires, est montĆ© sur cette tige filetĆ©e entre le corps de stator 8a et l'Ć©crou 19. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement seront prĆ©vues deux tiges filetĆ©es 18, deux ressorts 17 et deux Ć©crous 19. En vissant plus ou moins les Ć©crous 19, il est possible de rĆ©gler la force de pression des rouleaux 9a sur l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11 de la pompe 7. De surcroĆ®t, par dĆ©montage des Ć©crous 19, il devient possible d'Ć©carter angulairement le corps de stator, en vue par exemple du retrait ou de la mise en place de l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11. Cet Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11, rĆ©alisĆ© de prĆ©fĆ©rence en matiĆØre synthĆ©tique souple, est positionnĆ© sur la surface 8b et est engagĆ© dans deux perƧages traversants pratiquĆ©s dans le corps du stator 8a respectivement en amont et en aval de ladite surface 8b. H y a lieu de noter que la platine 7a et les paliers 2b support de l'essieu 2a sont fixes l'un par rapport Ć l'autre. Dans le cas où un affaissement de la paroi de la coque supportant la platine 7a est Ć craindre, un Ć©lĆ©ment de renfort pourra ĆŖtre disposĆ© entre cette paroi et les paliers 2b, cet Ć©lĆ©ment de renfort pouvant, par exemple prendre la forme d'un arceau fixĆ© d'une part Ć ladite paroi et d'autre part aux Ć©triers la supportant les paliers 2b. Selon une disposition avantageuse de l'invention, le rotor 9 de la pompe 7 comprend un palier lisse 9b par lequel il est engagĆ© sur l'essieu 2a et un flasque 9c fixĆ© Ć ce palier lisse, ce flasque portant d'une part les rouleaux 9a, et d'autre part de maniĆØre articulĆ©e, le cliquet 10a du mĆ©canisme Ć cliquet 10. Les rouleaux 9a sont montĆ©s de maniĆØre libre en rotation et fixe en translation sur des axes fixĆ©s en porte Ć faux sur le flasque 9c du rotor 9. Les rouleaux 9a et les axes qui les supportent sont parallĆØles Ć l'essieu 2a ainsi qu'Ć la surface d'appui 8b du corps de stator 8. Ces rouleaux 9a sont rĆ©guliĆØrement Ć©cartĆ©s les uns des autres. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement le rotor 9 comporte au moins trois rouleaux 9a. Le cliquet 10a est montĆ© sur un pion fixĆ© en porte Ć faux sur le flasque du rotor 9. Le cliquet 10a est prĆ©vu pour coopĆ©rer en engagement de forme avec des crans 10b formĆ©s dans l'essieu 2a. Le cliquet 10a est rappelĆ© en position d'engagement dans les crans 10b par un organe Ć©lastique 10c tel un ressort Ć spires fixĆ© d'une part au dit cliquet et d'autre part au flasque 9c du rotor 9. Le circuit 13 d'alimentation en peinture, comporte en amont du robinet 14 un rĆ©gulateur de pression 21 comportant une entrĆ©e en relation de communication avec l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 11 par rintermĆ©diaire d'un filtre 22, une premiĆØre sortie de peinture en relation de communication avec le robinet 14 et une deuxiĆØme sortie de peinture en relation de communication avec le rĆ©servoir par l'intermĆ©diaire d'une conduite de retour 21a. Cette conduite de retour 21a possĆØde un orifice de refoulement de peinture disposĆ© au plus prĆØs du fond du rĆ©servoir de penture. Lorsque la valeur de la pression dans le rĆ©gulateur 21 devient Ć©gale ou supĆ©rieure Ć la valeur de tarage de ce dernier, la seconde sortie du rĆ©gulateur de pression 21, d'un Ć©tat normalement fermĆ©, passe Ć un Ć©tat ouvert de sorte que le liquide dĆ©bitĆ© par la pompe 7 peut retourner au rĆ©servoir 5, la communication entre l'entrĆ©e du rĆ©gulateur et la premiĆØre sortie Ć©tant toujours assurĆ©e. ' Ainsi, la machine peut Ć©voluer en marche avant, sans qu'il soit nĆ©cessaire de dĆ©lester la pompe par une pulvĆ©risation. Comme dans ce cas de figure la pompe 7 se dĆ©leste dans le rĆ©servoir 5 et simultanĆ©ment aspire la peinture liquide contenue dans ce dernier, on obtient de cette faƧon, avant pulvĆ©risation, un brassage automatique de la peinture dans le rĆ©servoir 5 et un mĆ©lange homogĆØne des diffĆ©rents constituants de la peinture. Pendant la pulvĆ©risation, si la pression dans le rĆ©gulateur 21 devient Ć©gale ou supĆ©rieure Ć la valeur de tarage, la seconde sortie passera Ć l'Ć©tat d'ouverture et une partie du flux de peinture retournera au rĆ©servoir et l'autre partie du flux alimentera la buse 6. Avantageusement, en aval de la premiĆØre sortie du rĆ©gulateur 21 et en amont du robinet 14, le circuit d'alimentation 13 est associĆ© Ć une capacitĆ© Ć©tanche 23 remplie d'air constituant vase d'expansion. Cette capacitĆ© 23 se trouve pressurisĆ©e par la montĆ©e en pression du circuit d'alimentation sous l'effet du dĆ©bit de la pompe. GrĆ¢ce Ć cette capacitĆ© 23, le circuit d'alimentation 13 de la buse 6, pour sa partie en amont du robinet 14 est toujours maintenue en pression de sorte que la pulvĆ©risation dĆ©bute dĆØs que le robinet 14 est ouvert. La rĆ©serve d'Ć©nergie que constitue cette capacitĆ© 23 autorise ainsi une pulvĆ©risation, la pompe 7 Ć l'arrĆŖt. Cette caractĆ©ristique technique, combinĆ©e au fait que la buse de pulvĆ©risation 6 et la partie aval au robinet 14 du circuit d'alimentation ne soient pas fixĆ©es Ć la structure de la machine mais simplement positionnĆ©es de maniĆØre amovible sur cette structure ce qui leur assure une latitude de dĆ©placement par rapport Ć la machine, confĆØre Ć ladite machine une grande souplesse d'utilisation. Ainsi l'utilisateur aprĆØs avoir saisi la buse de pulvĆ©risation pourra rĆ©aliser un traƧage Ć la main ou bien un traƧage Ć l'aide d'un pochoir, d'un point caractĆ©ristique de la surface Ć peindre. S'agissant du traƧage des marques d'un terrain de sport par exemple un terrain de football, le traƧage des lignes droites ou des grandes lignes courbes sera opĆ©rĆ© en dĆ©plaƧant la machine sur le terrain et en maintenant le robinet ouvert, la buse Ć©tant en place sur la structure. En revanche, le traƧage des lignes de corner et des points de penalty, sera opĆ©rĆ© la machine Ć l'arrĆŖt, par l'utilisateur. La partie du circuit d'alimentation, en aval du robinet 13 sera constituĆ©e par un tube souple en matiĆØre synthĆ©tique d'une longueur suffisante pour rĆ©aliser ces traƧages Ć la main. Ć titre d'exemple, cette longueur sera de l'ordre de 1,50 mĆØtres Ć 2 mĆØtres. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, la capacitĆ© 23 est constituĆ©e par un Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire, enroulĆ© sur lui-mĆŖme selon une ou plusieurs boucles verticales fixĆ©es Ć la machine. L'extrĆ©mitĆ© infĆ©rieure de cet Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire est raccordĆ©e au circuit d'alimentation 13 par un raccord en TĆ©. L'extrĆ©mitĆ© supĆ©rieure de l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire se situe au- dessus de la ou des boucle(s) verticale(s) formĆ©e(s) et reƧoit un manomĆØtre 24. Cette extrĆ©mitĆ© supĆ©rieure est disposĆ©e de prĆ©fĆ©rence selon un niveau de hauteur supĆ©rieur au niveau maximal de peinture dans le rĆ©servoir de faƧon que le manomĆØtre 24 soit toujours disposĆ© au-dessus de ce niveau. Ć titre d'exemple purement indicatif, pour constituer la capacitĆ© 23, sera utilisĆ© un tube d'un diamĆØtre interne d'environ 8 millimĆØtres et d'une longueur de 2 mĆØtres. Ces boucles verticales sont positionnĆ©es par rapport Ć la machine en sorte que leur axe d'enroulement soit horizontal et parallĆØle Ć l'axe d'avancement de la machine. En raison de cette disposition, les boucles, lorsque la machine est couchĆ©e sur le flanc demeurent verticales ce qui Ć©vite tout reflux de peinture vers le manomĆØtre 24, la peinture se trouvant piĆ©gĆ©e dans la partie infĆ©rieure de la ou des boucle(s) verticale(s). Le fait de rĆ©aliser la capacitĆ© 23 Ć l'aide d'un Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire par exemple en 5 matiĆØre synthĆ©tique souple, alors que sur la machine de l'art antĆ©rieur est utilisĆ© un vase d'expansion, permet une dĻninution notable du coĆ»t de rĆ©alisation de la machine, et du coĆ»t d'entretien de cette derniĆØre. GrĆ¢ce au manomĆØtre 24, qui indique en permanence la pression dans le circuit d'alimentation 13, il est possible de rĆ©gler la valeur de tarage du rĆ©gulateur de 10 pression 21 , ce dernier comportant des moyens de rĆ©glage Ć cet effet. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement le manomĆØtre 24 sera montĆ© sur une platine fixĆ©e Ć l'anse 20 de manÅuvre et ce au plus prĆØs de la forme de poignĆ©e 20b que cette derniĆØre comporte, de faƧon Ć pouvoir ĆŖtre aisĆ©ment lisible par l'utilisateur. Les boucles que forme l'Ć©lĆ©ment tubulaire 23 seront avantageusement 15 disposĆ©es dans la coque 4 de la machine, dans une chambre que cette derniĆØre comporte en partie arriĆØre. Selon une forme prĆ©fĆ©rĆ©e de rĆ©alisation, le mĆ©canisme de manÅuvre 15 comprend une poignĆ©e 15a, du type ambidextre, articulĆ©e Ć l'anse de manÅuvre 20, un ' cĆ¢ble 15b sous gaine, fixĆ© d'une part Ć la poignĆ©e 15a et d'autre part Ć un levier de 20 manÅuvre 14a que possĆØde le robinet 14 et un organe Ć©lastique 15c fixĆ© d'une part au levier 14a du robinet de manÅuvre 14 et d'autre part Ć la coque rigide 4, cet organe Ć©lastique sollicitant le levier de manÅuvre 14a dans le sens de la fermeture du robinet 14. De prĆ©fĆ©rence, la poignĆ©e 15a de manÅuvre est en forme d'arceau et possĆØde 25 deux tourillons d'extrĆ©mitĆ© par lesquels elle est engagĆ©e en articulation d'une part dans un perƧage radial pratiquĆ© dans l'un des segments latĆ©raux 20a de l'anse 20 et d'autre part dans un perƧage radial pratiquĆ© dans l'autre segment latĆ©ral de l'anse, cette poignĆ©e 15a s'Ć©tendant d'un segment latĆ©ral Ć l'autre. Ć la poignĆ©e 15a de manÅuvre est fixĆ©e une platine. Ć cette platine est fixĆ©e 30 l'extrĆ©mitĆ© correspondante du cĆ¢ble 15b. Par manÅuvre de la poignĆ©e 15a vers le segment basai 20b de l'anse de manÅuvre 20, est imprimĆ© sur le cĆ¢ble 15b un effort de traction qui est communiquĆ© au levier de manÅuvre 14a du robinet 14. Sous l'effet de cet effort, le levier de manÅuvre 14a est dĆ©placĆ© Ć l'encontre de l'action de l'organe Ć©lastique de rappel 15c d'une position correspondant Ć la fermeture du robinet 14 vers une position correspondant Ć l'ouverture de ce dernier pour autoriser l'alimentation de la buse 6 en peinture et par voie de consĆ©quence la pulvĆ©risation. Cette pulvĆ©risation s'effectue normalement lorsque la machine est poussĆ©e vers l'avant par l'utilisateur mais elle peut aussi ĆŖtre effectuĆ©e Ć l'arrĆŖt tant que l'air contenu dans la capacitĆ© 23 est Ć une pression suffisante. On comprend que pendant cette pulvĆ©risation Ć l'arrĆŖt, l'air contenu dans la capacitĆ© 23 se dĆ©tend progressivement. Il y a lieu de noter que pendant la pulvĆ©risation, la machine Ć©tant en marche Ć vitesse normale, la perte de charge au niveau de la buse d'une part et la pression du liquide dĆ©bitĆ© par la pompe d'autre part sont suffisantes pour assurer la montĆ©e de liquide dans la capacitĆ© ce qui comprime l'air contenu dans cette derniĆØre. Ainsi la capacitĆ© constitue rĆ©serve d'Ć©nergie et absorbe dans une certaine mesure les variations de pressions dues par exemple aux variations de la vitesse de la machine. La pulvĆ©risation se produit tant que la poignĆ©e 15a est maintenue par l'utilisateur contre le segment basai 20b de l'anse de manÅuvre. DĆØs que l'utilisateur relĆ¢che la poignĆ©e 15a, l'organe Ć©lastique 15c ramĆØne le robinet en position de fermeture par action sur le levier 14a. Le cĆ¢ble 15b se trouve alors tirĆ© par le levier 14a ce qui ramĆØne la poignĆ©e 15a en position initiale. Pour maintenir la rĆ©serve 23 en pression pendant des pĆ©riodes plus ou moins longues d'arrĆŖt de la machine, il est utile d'Ć©carter tout risque de reflux de liquide vers le rĆ©servoir via le tube 11 de la pompe et le tube d'aspiration 12. Ce reflux peut rĆ©sulter d'une usure des rouleaux 9a ou du tube 11, telle que le pincement du tube par chaque rouleau ne s'effectue plus de maniĆØre correcte et autorise un passage du liquide au travers de la zone pincĆ©e. Dans ce but, est disposĆ© sur le trajet de liquide, en amont du point de raccordement de la capacitĆ© 23 au circuit 13, un Ć©lĆ©ment anti-retour 39. Cet Ć©lĆ©ment anti-retour pourra ĆŖtre constituĆ© par un clapet anti-retour. De prĆ©fĆ©rence, dans un but de simplification, ce clapet anti-retour 39 est disposĆ© sur le tube d'aspiration 12 comme on peut le voir sur les figures 1 et 2. Sur ces figures, on remarque que le clapet anti-retour 39 est disposĆ© Ć distance de l'orifice d'aspiration que comporte le tube d'aspiration mais ce clapet anti-retour pourra ĆŖtre montĆ© dans ledit orifice ou dans une crĆ©pine associĆ©e Ć ce dernier. Cette disposition Ć©vite le vidage de la partie de tube plongeant dans le rĆ©servoir. La buse de pulvĆ©risation 6 est dĆ©portĆ©e latĆ©ralement par rapport Ć la machine de faƧon que le marquage effectuĆ© ne puisse pas ĆŖtre dĆ©gradĆ© par le passage des roues ou par les pas de rutilisateur. Avantageusement la buse de pulvĆ©risation 6 produira deux jets de peinture dont un sera dirigĆ© vers l'avant de la machine et l'autre vers l'arriĆØre. S'agissant d'une pulvĆ©risation sur une surface engazonnĆ©e, cette disposition permet d'apposer la peinture sur les faces antĆ©rieures et postĆ©rieures des brins d'herbes en un seul passage. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement la buse 6 est engagĆ©e de maniĆØre amovible dans un fourreau vertical 31 ouvert aux deux extrĆ©mitĆ©s, portĆ© par un support horizontal 26 solidarisĆ© Ć une structure porteuse 30 fixĆ©e Ć la coque 4 de la machine. Ce support horizontal est transversal Ć la direction d'avancement de la machine. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement la buse 6 est dotĆ©e d'un crochet 6a de suspension par lequel elle est suspendue au fourreau vertical 31. Avantageusement ce fourreau vertical 31 est montĆ© de maniĆØre rĆ©glable en hauteur sur le support transversal 26. Cette disposition permet de rĆ©gler la hauteur de la buse 6 par rapport au sol et par voie de consĆ©quence la largeur de la ligne tracĆ©e, le jet en sortie de buse Ć©tant plat et triangulaire. Pour rĆ©gler le dĆ©port latĆ©ral de la buse par rapport Ć la machine, la position du fourreau vertical 31 le long du support transversal 26 sera ajustable. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, de part et d'autre de la buse 6 et de son fourreau support 31 seront installĆ©s en fixation au support transversal 26, deux Ć©crans 28 verticaux, sous forme de parois rectangulaires ou triangulaires, assujettis Ć venir par leur bord horizontal infĆ©rieur au plus prĆØs du sol. Ces Ć©crans 28 constituent obstacle au vent, et ont pour but notamment de protĆ©ger le jet de peinture de l'action de ce dernier. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement la machine est dotĆ©e d'une palette 28 disposĆ©e en avant de la buse 6, ladite palette comportant une lĆØvre infĆ©rieure assujettie Ć venir au contact de la surface Ć peindre en vue de la nettoyer par balayage et essentiellement en chasser la rosĆ©e. Selon une forme prĆ©fĆ©rĆ©e d'exĆ©cution, au support transversal 26, latĆ©ralement au fourreau 31 , est fixĆ© un second support 32 horizontal sous forme de barre rigide, s'Ć©tendant de maniĆØre parallĆØle Ć la direction d'avancement de la machine. Par son extrĆ©mitĆ© distale, ce support 32 porte en avant de la buse 6, par rintermĆ©diaire d'une liaison Ć©lastique 33, la palette 34. Cette palette 34 sera avantageusement constituĆ©e en une matiĆØre synthĆ©tique Ć©lastiquement dĆ©formable. PrĆ©fĆ©rentiellement, pour confĆ©rer Ć la palette en plus de l'effet de balayage un effet de chasse, cette derniĆØre est disposĆ©e de maniĆØre oblique par rapport Ć la direction d'avancement de la machine. La liaison Ć©lastique 33 est avantageusement constituĆ©e par un ressort Ć boudin Ć spires jointives, fixĆ© d'une part Ć l'extrĆ©mitĆ© distale du support horizontal 32 et d'autre part Ć la palette 34. GrĆ¢ce Ć cette disposition de liaison Ć©lastique 33, la palette 34, lorsqu'elle rencontre un obstacle, qui peut par exemple ĆŖtre un poteau de but, peut facilement s'effacer face Ć l'obstacle, par dĆ©formation de la liaison Ć©lastique. Il devient donc possible de rĆ©aliser le marquage jusqu'Ć l'obstacle rencontrĆ©. Selon une premiĆØre forme de rĆ©alisation, la structure porteuse 30 comprend un tube horizontal 35 fixĆ© Ć la paroi infĆ©rieure 4b de la coque 4, ce tube comportant en extrĆ©mitĆ© avant une douille verticale dans laquelle est engagĆ© et bloquĆ©, par une vis pression, un embout vertical fixĆ© au support transversal 26. Selon une autre forme de rĆ©alisation, la structure porteuse 30 comprend toujours le tube horizontal 35 fixĆ© Ć la paroi infĆ©rieure 4b de la coque 4, ce tube comportant toujours en extrĆ©mitĆ© avant une douille verticale "dans laquelle est engagĆ© et bloquĆ© par une vis pression, un embout vertical fixĆ© non plus au support transversal 26, mais Ć l'un des deux Ć©lĆ©ments 37 d'une articulation 36 d'axe horizontal et perpendiculaire au sens d'avancement de la machine. L'autre Ć©lĆ©ment 38 de l'articulation est agencĆ© en bras de levier et reƧoit en extrĆ©mitĆ© distale d'une part le support transversal 26 et d'autre part un organe 27 d'appui au sol qui peut ĆŖtre constituĆ© par une roue, par un patin de glissement ou autre. L'intĆ©rĆŖt d'une telle disposition rĆ©side dans le fait que la buse 6 peut suivre les irrĆ©gularitĆ©s du terrain si bien que la largeur de la ligne formĆ©e sera uniforme. La machine sera Ć©galement Ć©quipĆ©e d'un rĆ©servoir d'eau 25 pour procĆ©der au nettoyage de la pompe, du circuit d'alimentation et de la buse de pulvĆ©risation 6. Pour procĆ©der au nettoyage, le tube d'aspiration 12 sera plongĆ© dans le rĆ©servoir d'eau 25 et la machine sera entraĆ®nĆ©e en marche avant. Ce nettoyage peut parfaitement ĆŖtre opĆ©rĆ© immĆ©diatement aprĆØs le traƧage, lors notamment du trajet de retour de la machine vers le local technique. En vue de ce nettoyage, le robinet 14 est ouvert par action sur la poignĆ©e 15a. Il convient de rĆ©cupĆ©rer l'eau de nettoyage. Dans ce but la buse 6 est plongĆ©e dans le rĆ©servoir de peinture ou bien dans le rĆ©servoir d'eau. La machine telle que dĆ©crite est principalement destinĆ©e au marquage de terrains de sport engazonnĆ©s ou non, mais il va de soi qu'elle peut ĆŖtre utilisĆ©e pour la formation de marques sur tout autre type de surface par exemple sur des voies de circulation et autres. On a prĆ©cĆ©demment dĆ©crit une machine ne comportant qu'une seule buse de pulvĆ©risation 6, mais il va de soi que cette machine pourra ĆŖtre Ć©quipĆ©e de plusieurs buses 6 connectĆ©es par exemple au mĆŖme circuit d'alimentation 13 et montĆ©es par exemple sur le mĆŖme support transversal 26. De mĆŖme l'utilisation de la machine n'est pas limitĆ©e Ć la pulvĆ©risation d'une peinture, ainsi la machine peut ĆŖtre utilisĆ©e pour la pulvĆ©risation de liquides de traitement de surface tel que des dĆ©sherbants, des engrais etc. H va de soi que la prĆ©sente invention peut recevoir tous amĆ©nagements et variantes du domaine des Ć©quivalences techniques sans pour autant sortir du cadre du prĆ©sent brevet. Best embodiment of the invention. As shown, the machine according to the invention, for projecting onto the surface on which it operates, a jet of liquid paint with a view to the formation on this surface of a marking in the form of a line, is preferably manually movable, and comprises a chassis 1, metallic, receiving a maneuvering handle 20, and a train 2 of rear wheels. This chassis 1 supports a rigid shell 4 receiving a front wheel train 3. This shell 4 supports in particular a reservoir 5 of liquid paint, a spray nozzle 6 installed at the front of the machine and the stator 8 of a peristaltic pump 7, the rotor 9 of which is coupled to the axle 2a of the rear wheel assembly by means of a ratchet mechanism 10 which couples the rotor 9 to the axle 2a when the machine is pushed forward and which uncouples when the machine is pulled back, the rotor 9 being fixed in translation on the axle 2a. The peristaltic pump 7, by its suction, is connected to a suction tube 12 removably engaged in the reservoir 5 and by its discharge is connected to a circuit 13 for supplying the spray nozzle 6. The tube suction 12 has a suction opening brought as close as possible to the bottom of the tank. The supply circuit 13 comprises a member 14 for controlling the circulation of liquid, such as a tap, operated remotely from the handle 20, by an operating mechanism 15. Under the effect of the action of the user on the operating mechanism 15, the valve 14 can be arranged either in the closed position to prevent the supply of the nozzle 6 or in the open position to allow the supply of this nozzle. The metal frame 1 comprises for example two metal stirrups supporting by means of two bearings 2b, the axle 2a of the rear wheel train. These two stirrups receive in fixing the handle 20 and the rigid shell 4. The maneuvering handle 20 receives the pushing or traction force exerted by the user in order to move the machine forward or towards the 'back. This maneuvering handle 20 is for example constituted by a bent tube so as to substantially match the contour of a U. This maneuvering handle 20 therefore has two lateral segments 20a intended to be fixed to the two stirrups 1a of the chassis 1 and a basal segment 20b constituting a grip handle. The rigid shell 4, obtained for example by rotational molding, is hollow and comprises an upper wall 4a and a lower wall 4b linked to one another. Laterally, the shell 4 has two forms of mudguard 4c which constitute stiffening ribs. In the lower part, the shell 4 also has two lateral ribs of rigidity 4d. The shell 4 in the upper part has one or more recesses imprinted to receive the tank or tanks, as well as the various instruments necessary for the operation and maintenance of the machine. According to the preferred embodiment, each stirrup has a U-shaped cross section and comprises a basal wing 1b and two lateral wings 1c. The metal stirrups, by their lateral wings le, are intended to come from either side of the two lower lateral ribs 4d of the shell 4 to which they are fixed by buttoning or other means. On the upper surface of its basal wing 1b, each stirrup receives it in fixing one of the two bearings 2b of the axle 2a. Preferably, each bearing 2b of the axle 2a is formed by a block of synthetic material. For example, the material used may be that known under the trade name of "Teflon". On either side of one of the bearings 2b, the axle 2a has two stop rings forming shoulders. The purpose of these stop rings is to immobilize the axle 2a in translation relative to the bearings 2b. The rear wheels are fixed to the axle 2a for one in translation and rotation and for the other in translation only so as to be able to rotate relative to the axle. Each stirrup has it projecting from the lower surface of its basal wing 1b, a threaded, projecting pin, intended to be engaged in a through hole made in the lower wall of the shell 4 and opening into the internal volume of said shell. In contrast to this hole passing through the upper wall of the shell 4 has another through hole through which is engaged in the internal volume of the shell 4 a metal sheath 16 having in the lower part a thread. By this tapping, the sleeve 16 is screwed to the corresponding Petrier threaded pin. Each sleeve 16 by its upper end projects beyond the shell 4. In the two sleeves 16 are engaged respectively the two lateral segments 20a of the handle 20 for maneuvering. Preferably, the projecting part of each sleeve 16 is equipped with a mechanism for blocking the corresponding segment of the operating handle. This locking mechanism is constituted for example by a pressure screw engaged in a radial through thread formed in the projecting part of the sheath and brought into pressure, by screwing, against the operating handle. This arrangement ensures on the one hand the immobilization of the handle, but also allows the height adjustment of the latter. It is understood that thanks to the configuration of the chassis 1, the thrust or traction force exerted by the user on the maneuvering handle 20 is transmitted entirely to the axle 2a and in no way to the hull 4. This arrangement allows further, by transferring to the axle 2a part of the thrust force exerted by the user on the maneuvering handle 20, to increase the grip of the rear wheels on the ground and to overcome the counter torque exerted by the rotor 9 of the pump 7 on the axle 2a. Thus by opposing the slipping of the rear wheels, the risk of an irregular drive of the rotor 9 of the pump 7 is eliminated. The ^ stator 8 of the peristaltic pump 7 comprises a stator body 8s, provided, facing the rotor 9 and centered with respect to the latter, a bearing surface 8b, in an arc of circumference of circle, on which is supported, a tubular element 11, radially deformable in an elastic manner under the effect of the thrust of pressure rollers 9a that comprises the rotor 9. These pressure rollers 9a are regularly spaced from one another. Each roller 9a pinches the tubular element, the pinched area moving with the roller. The pinching carried out ensures a tight partitioning of the tubular element, this partitioning opposing any passage of liquid through the pinched area. The value of the arc of circle circumference along which the bearing surface 8b develops is greater than the angular value of the arc of circumference between two consecutive pressure rollers so that the tubular element 11 is always pinched by at least one roller 9a. This tubular element 11 is connected by its upstream end to the suction tube 12 and by its downstream end to the circuit 13 for supplying the nozzle 6. Preferably, the stator body 8a of the pump 8 is in the form of a hoop and is articulated by one of its ends to a support plate 7a, fixed to the lower wall of the shell 4. By its other end, the stator body 8a cooperates with at least one elastic member 17. Under the effect of the action of this elastic member, the stator 8a is held in position around the rotor 9. Preferably, this other end is provided with at least one through hole in which is engaged a threaded rod 18 secured to the support plate 7a. At the free end, this threaded rod 18 receives in screwing an adjusting and holding nut 19. The elastic member 17, constituted by a coil spring, is mounted on this threaded rod between the stator body 8a and the nut 19 Preferably two threaded rods 18, two springs 17 and two nuts will be provided. By screwing the nuts 19 more or less, it is possible to adjust the pressure force of the rollers 9a on the tubular element 11 of the pump 7. moreover, by removing the nuts 19, it becomes possible to angularly separate the stator body, for example with a view to removing or placing the tubular element 11. This tubular element 11, preferably made of synthetic material flexible, is positioned on the surface 8b and is engaged in two through holes made in the body of the stator 8a respectively upstream and downstream of said surface 8b. It should be noted that the plate 7a and the bearings 2b supporting the axle 2a are fixed relative to each other. In the case where a collapse of the wall of the shell supporting the plate 7a is to be feared, a reinforcing element may be disposed between this wall and the bearings 2b, this reinforcing element possibly, for example taking the form of an arch fixed on the one hand to said wall and on the other hand to the stirrups supporting the bearings 2b. According to an advantageous arrangement of the invention, the rotor 9 of the pump 7 comprises a smooth bearing 9b by which it is engaged on the axle 2a and a flange 9c fixed to this smooth bearing, this flange carrying on the one hand the rollers 9a, and on the other hand in an articulated manner, the pawl 10a of the pawl mechanism 10. The rollers 9a are mounted in free rotation and fixed in translation on axes fixed cantilevered on the flange 9c of the rotor 9. The rollers 9a and the axes which support them are parallel to the axle 2a as well as to the bearing surface 8b of the stator body 8. These rollers 9a are regularly away from each other. Preferably, the rotor 9 has at least three rollers 9a. The pawl 10a is mounted on a pin fixed cantilevered on the flange of the rotor 9. The pawl 10a is designed to cooperate in shape engagement with notches 10b formed in the axle 2a. The pawl 10a is returned to the engagement position in the notches 10b by an elastic member 10c such as a coil spring fixed on the one hand to said pawl and on the other hand to the flange 9c of the rotor 9. The supply circuit 13 in painting, comprises upstream of the valve 14 a pressure regulator 21 comprising an inlet in communication relation with the tubular element 11 by means of a filter 22, a first paint outlet in communication relation with the valve 14 and a second paint outlet in communication relation with the reservoir via a return line 21a. This return line 21a has a paint delivery orifice disposed as close as possible to the bottom of the hinge tank. When the value of the pressure in the regulator 21 becomes equal to or greater than the setting value of the latter, the second output of the pressure regulator 21, from a normally closed state, changes to an open state so that the liquid discharged by the pump 7 can return to the reservoir 5, the communication between the inlet of the regulator and the first outlet being always ensured. 'Thus, the machine can move forward, without the need to offload the pump by spraying. As in this case, the pump 7 sheds water in the tank 5 and simultaneously sucks the liquid paint contained in the latter, in this way, before spraying, automatic mixing of the paint in the tank 5 and a homogeneous mixture of different constituents of paint. During spraying, if the pressure in regulator 21 becomes equal to or greater than the setting value, the second outlet will go into the open state and part of the paint flow will return to the tank and the other part of the flow will feed the nozzle 6. Advantageously, downstream of the first outlet of the regulator 21 and upstream of the valve 14, the supply circuit 13 is associated with a sealed capacity 23 filled with air constituting an expansion vessel. This capacity 23 is pressurized by the pressure rise in the supply circuit under the effect of the pump flow. Thanks to this capacity 23, the supply circuit 13 of the nozzle 6, for its part upstream of the valve 14, is always kept under pressure so that the spraying begins as soon as the valve 14 is open. The energy reserve constituted by this capacity 23 thus authorizes a spraying, the pump 7 stopped. This technical characteristic, combined with the fact that the spray nozzle 6 and the downstream part of the valve 14 of the supply circuit are not fixed to the structure of the machine but simply positioned in a removable manner on this structure which gives them latitude. displacement relative to the machine, gives said machine great flexibility of use. Thus the user, after having grasped the spray nozzle, will be able to trace by hand or else trace with a stencil, a point characteristic of the surface to be painted. Regarding the marking of the marks of a sports field for example a football field, the tracing of straight lines or large curved lines will be operated by moving the machine on the ground and keeping the tap open, the nozzle being in place on the structure. On the other hand, the tracing of the lines of corner and penalty points, will be operated with the machine stopped, by the user. The part of the supply circuit, downstream from the tap 13 will be constituted by a flexible plastic tube of sufficient length to carry out these tracings by hand. As an example, this length will be of the order of 1.50 meters to 2 meters. Preferably, the capacity 23 is constituted by a tubular element, wound on itself according to one or more vertical loops fixed to the machine. The lower end of this tubular element is connected to the supply circuit 13 by a T-connector. The upper end of the tubular element is located above the vertical loop (s) formed and receives a pressure gauge 24. This upper end is preferably arranged at a height level greater than maximum level of paint in the tank so that the pressure gauge 24 is always disposed above this level. As a purely indicative example, to form the capacity 23, a tube with an internal diameter of about 8 millimeters and a length of 2 meters will be used. These vertical loops are positioned relative to the machine so that their winding axis is horizontal and parallel to the advancement axis of the machine. Because of this arrangement, the loops, when the machine is lying on the side remain vertical which avoids any backflow of paint towards the pressure gauge 24, the paint being trapped in the lower part of the vertical loop (s). The fact of producing the capacity 23 using a tubular element for example made of flexible synthetic material, while on the machine of the prior art is used an expansion vessel, allows a notable decrease in the cost of production of the machine, and the maintenance cost of the latter. Thanks to the manometer 24, which permanently indicates the pressure in the supply circuit 13, it is possible to adjust the setting value of the pressure regulator 21, the latter comprising adjustment means for this purpose. Preferably, the pressure gauge 24 will be mounted on a plate fixed to the handle 20 for maneuvering and as close as possible to the shape of the handle 20b that the latter comprises, so that it can be easily read by the user. The loops formed by the tubular element 23 will advantageously be arranged in the shell 4 of the machine, in a chamber that the latter comprises at the rear. According to a preferred embodiment, the operating mechanism 15 comprises a handle 15a, of the ambidextrous type, articulated to the operating handle 20, a 'cable 15b in sheath, fixed on the one hand to the handle 15a and on the other part to a maneuvering lever 14a which has the tap 14 and an elastic member 15c fixed on the one hand to the lever 14a of the maneuvering valve 14 and on the other hand to the rigid shell 4, this elastic member urging the maneuvering lever 14a in the direction of closing the valve 14. Preferably, the operating handle 15a is in the form of a hoop and has two end journals by which it is engaged in articulation on the one hand in a radial hole made in one of the lateral segments 20a of the handle 20 and on the other hand in a radial hole made in the other lateral segment of the handle, this handle 15a extending from one lateral segment to the other. To the operating handle 15a is fixed a plate. To this plate is fixed 30 the corresponding end of the cable 15b. By maneuvering the handle 15a towards the basal segment 20b of the maneuvering handle 20, a pulling force is printed on the cable 15b which is communicated to the maneuvering lever 14a of the tap 14. Under the effect of this force, the lever maneuver 14a is moved against the action of the elastic return member 15c from a position corresponding to the closing of the valve 14 to a position corresponding to the opening of the latter to authorize the supply of the nozzle 6 in painting and consequently spraying. This spraying is normally carried out when the machine is pushed forward by the user, but it can also be carried out when the machine is stopped as long as the air contained in the tank 23 is at sufficient pressure. It is understood that during this spraying when stopped, the air contained in the capacity 23 gradually relaxes. It should be noted that during spraying, the machine being running at normal speed, the pressure drop at the nozzle on the one hand and the pressure of the liquid delivered by the pump on the other are sufficient to ensure the rise of liquid in the capacity which compresses the air contained in the latter. The capacity thus constitutes a reserve of energy and absorbs to some extent the variations in pressure due for example to variations in the speed of the machine. Spraying occurs as long as the handle 15a is held by the user against the basal segment 20b of the operating handle. As soon as the user releases the handle 15a, the elastic member 15c returns the tap to the closed position by action on the lever 14a. The cable 15b is then pulled by the lever 14a which brings the handle 15a back to the initial position. To keep the reserve 23 under pressure for more or less long periods of machine stoppage, it is useful to avoid any risk of liquid reflux to the reservoir via the tube 11 of the pump and the suction tube 12 This reflux can result from wear of the rollers 9a or of the tube 11, such that the pinching of the tube by each roller is no longer carried out correctly and allows the liquid to pass through the pinched area. For this purpose, a non-return element 39 is arranged on the liquid path, upstream from the point of connection of the capacity 23 to the circuit 13. This non-return element may be constituted by a non-return valve. Preferably, for the sake of simplification, this non-return valve 39 is arranged on the suction tube 12 as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2. In these figures, it is noted that the non-return valve 39 is disposed at a distance from the suction orifice that the suction tube comprises, but this non-return valve can be mounted in said orifice or in a strainer associated with the latter. This arrangement avoids the emptying of the part of the tube immersed in the tank. The spray nozzle 6 is offset laterally with respect to the machine so that the marking carried out cannot be degraded by the passage of the wheels or by the steps of the user. Advantageously, the spray nozzle 6 will produce two jets of paint, one of which will be directed towards the front of the machine and the other towards the rear. Being a spray on a grassed surface, this arrangement allows the paint to be applied to the anterior and posterior faces of the blades of grass in a single pass. Preferably, the nozzle 6 is removably engaged in a vertical sleeve 31 open at both ends, carried by a horizontal support 26 secured to a support structure 30 fixed to the shell 4 of the machine. This horizontal support is transverse to the direction of advance of the machine. Preferably, the nozzle 6 is provided with a suspension hook 6a by which it is suspended from the vertical sleeve 31. Advantageously this vertical sleeve 31 is mounted in an adjustable manner in height on the transverse support 26. This arrangement makes it possible to adjust the height of the nozzle 6 with respect to the ground and consequently the width of the line drawn, the jet at the outlet of the nozzle being flat and triangular. To adjust the lateral offset of the nozzle relative to the machine, the position of the vertical sleeve 31 along the transverse support 26 will be adjustable. Preferably, on either side of the nozzle 6 and its support sleeve 31 will be installed in attachment to the transverse support 26, two vertical screens 28, in the form of rectangular or triangular walls, subject to come by their lower horizontal edge at most close to the ground. These screens 28 constitute an obstacle to the wind, and have the aim in particular of protecting the paint spray from the action of the latter. Preferably, the machine is provided with a pallet 28 disposed in front of the nozzle 6, said pallet comprising a lower lip subject to come into contact with the surface to be painted with a view to cleaning it by sweeping and essentially driving out the dew. According to a preferred embodiment, the transverse support 26, laterally to the sheath 31, is fixed a second horizontal support 32 in the form of a rigid bar, extending parallel to the direction of advance of the machine. By its distal end, this support 32 carries in front of the nozzle 6, by means of a elastic link 33, the pallet 34. This pallet 34 will advantageously be made of an elastically deformable synthetic material. Preferably, to give the pallet, in addition to the sweeping effect, a flushing effect, the latter is arranged obliquely relative to the direction of advance of the machine. The elastic connection 33 is advantageously constituted by a coil spring with contiguous turns, fixed on the one hand to the distal end of the horizontal support 32 and on the other hand to the pallet 34. Thanks to this elastic connection arrangement 33, the pallet 34, when it encounters an obstacle, which can for example be a goal post, can easily be erased in front of the obstacle, by deformation of the elastic connection. It therefore becomes possible to carry out the marking up to the obstacle encountered. According to a first embodiment, the support structure 30 comprises a horizontal tube 35 fixed to the lower wall 4b of the shell 4, this tube comprising at the front end a vertical sleeve in which is engaged and locked, by a pressure screw, a nozzle vertical fixed to the transverse support 26. According to another embodiment, the support structure 30 always comprises the horizontal tube 35 fixed to the lower wall 4b of the shell 4, this tube always comprising at the front end a vertical sleeve " in which is engaged and blocked by a pressure screw, a vertical end piece no longer fixed to the transverse support 26, but to one of the two elements 37 of an articulation 36 with a horizontal axis and perpendicular to the direction of advance of the machine. element 38 of the articulation is arranged as a lever arm and receives at the distal end on the one hand the transverse support 26 and on the other hand a support member 27 on the ground which can be const ituted by a wheel, by a sliding pad or other. The advantage of such an arrangement lies in the fact that the nozzle 6 can follow the irregularities of the ground so that the width of the line formed will be uniform. The machine will also be equipped with a water tank 25 for cleaning the pump, the supply circuit and the spray nozzle 6. To clean the suction tube 12 will be immersed in the tank 25 and the machine will be driven forward. This cleaning can perfectly be carried out immediately after tracing, in particular during the journey of return of the machine to the technical room. For this cleaning, the valve 14 is opened by action on the handle 15a. The cleaning water should be collected. For this purpose the nozzle 6 is immersed in the paint tank or else in the water tank. The machine as described is mainly intended for marking sports fields with or without grass, but it goes without saying that it can be used for the formation of marks on any other type of surface, for example on traffic lanes and the like. We have previously described a machine having only one spray nozzle 6, but it goes without saying that this machine can be equipped with several nozzles 6 connected for example to the same supply circuit 13 and mounted for example on the same support transverse 26. Similarly, the use of the machine is not limited to spraying a paint, so the machine can be used for spraying surface treatment liquids such as weed killers, fertilizers, etc. It goes without saying that the present invention can receive all arrangements and variants in the field of technical equivalences without departing from the scope of this patent.
