12 . Device according to claim 11 , the weld spots being located close to corners or free ends of each section of the article.

13 . Process for manufacturing a device according to claim 1 , the article being folded on itself about at least one fold line inside the container and having at least two sections separated by said fold line, in which process:
at least one of the two sections of the article is attached to one of the front and rear walls of the container at least one weld zone.

14 . Manufacturing process according to claim 13 , in which:
the two sections of the article are respectively attached to the front and rear walls of the container by weld zones.

15 . Process according to claim 13 , in which the impregnation of the article and the closure of the container are carried out before attaching the article to the walls.

16 . Process according to claim 13 , in which the impregnation of the article and the closure of the container are carried out after attaching the article to the walls.

17 . Process according to claim 13 , the at least one weld zone being created from the outside of the container.
