摘要： Liquid transfer apparatus (10) for transferring liquid from one container to another container including an elongate liquid storage chamber (12) having a liquid inlet (13), and a fluid outlet (16), a pump chamber (17) with a fluid inlet (18) and fluid outlet (19), a fluid flow passage connecting the fluid outlet of the storage chamber to the fluid inlet of the pump chamber, suction pump means (24) for sucking air from the storage chamber via the pump chamber fluid inlet, and valve means (26) for selectively opening and closing the liquid inlet (13) whereby liquid may be allowed to flow into the storage chamber (12) upon suction being applied to the storage chamber (12) by the pump means (24) and opening of the liquid inlet (13). Also disclosed is a carry case for the liquid transfer apparatus and three different adaptors. Each adaptor can be connected to an aperture of a container for use with a liquid transfer apparatus. One adaptor has radially adjustable thread engaging components to enable the adaptor to be connected to different sized apertures.
