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 Weitlaner» et non plus d'«écarteur de Weitlaner». 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9carteur%20de%20Weitlaner
