Avec l'usage, il arrive que le nom de l'inventeur ne soit plus utilisé comme complément de nom, mais soit mis en apposition et se comporte, dès lors, comme un adjectif de relation. On parlera alors d'«écarteur Parker» et non plus d'«écarteur de Parker». Il peut s'agir de Williard Parker (1800-1884), chirurgien américain, ou de R.W.
