The latter rests on seals (38, 39) secured to the lever-supports (13, 14) to which are attached centering and fixing means (17, 18) allowing a quick loosening of the chambered doctor blade (9) without the help of any tool. The body (25) comprises two plane and outwardly slanted projecting parts against which are glued two doctor blades (19, 20) by means of a gluing means (48).
