AI Technical Summary
Liquid leakage occurs when pouring or stopping liquid from a refill container into a main container or automatic dispenser tank, leading to soiling of the main container, automatic dispenser tank, and the surrounding area.
A tubular adapter with adjustable diameters or soft material at the center is attached to the refill port, allowing liquid flow control by pinching or releasing the adapter center with fingers.
Prevents liquid leakage and contamination by allowing controlled pouring and stopping, maintaining cleanliness of the main container and dispenser tank.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This device is a tubular adapter that can be attached to the refill opening of a refill container. The central part of the tube is made by either making the outer and inner diameters of the tube thinner, or by using a soft material, or by combining both, to clamp the adapter tube and block the liquid passage. The cap attached to the refill opening can be attached to the outlet of the tube as a lid for the adapter. [Background technology]
[0002] In the case of detergents and fabric softeners, when pouring liquid from the refill container into the washing machine's automatic dispenser tank or stopping the pour, the liquid often leaks from the refill outlet, soiling the main container (bottle), the automatic dispenser tank, and the floor. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] When pouring or stopping the liquid from the refill container into the main container (bottle) or, in the case of detergent or fabric softener, into the automatic dispenser tank of a washing machine, the liquid often leaks from the outlet of the refill port, soiling the main container (bottle), the automatic dispenser tank, the floor, etc. Therefore, this device aims to solve the problem of liquid leakage by attaching a tubular adapter to the outlet of the refill port of the refill container, which can be pinched with fingers etc. to pour or stop the liquid. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] By thinning the outer and inner diameters of the tube at the center of the tubular adapter that can be attached to the outlet of the refill nozzle of the refill container, or by using a soft material, or by combining both, the problem of liquid leaking and soiling the main container (bottle), automatic dispensing tank, floor, etc. can be solved by pinching the tube at the center of the adapter with your fingers or other objects to stop the flow of liquid. [Effects of the Invention]
[0005] With this device, when pouring or stopping liquid from the refill container into the main container (bottle) or, in the case of detergent or fabric softener, into the automatic dispenser tank of a washing machine, pinching the tube in the center of the adapter attached to the outlet of the refill port with your fingers or other objects helps prevent liquid from leaking and soiling the main container (bottle), automatic dispenser tank, floor, etc. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0006] [Figure 1] Diagram of the adapter, refill container and cap of the present invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0007] By making the thickness of the outer diameter and inner diameter of the center of the tubular adapter attached to the outlet of the refill port of the refill container thin or by using a soft material, or by using a tube that combines both, the flow of the liquid can be adjusted by pinching or releasing the center of the adapter with fingers or the like when injecting or stopping the injection of the liquid. [Example]
[0008] An embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Before injecting the liquid, pinch the tube in the center of the adapter with your fingers to stop the flow of the liquid, then release your fingers when pouring the liquid and inject the liquid. When stopping the injection of the liquid, pinch the tube in the center of the adapter with your fingers to stop the injection of the liquid.

Claims
1. This refill container adapter with a stop function has the feature of clamping a tubular adapter that can be attached to the outlet of the refill container's refill port to block the passage of liquid, in order to prevent liquid from leaking from the outlet of the refill port and soiling the main container (bottle), automatic dispenser tank, floor, etc. when pouring liquid from a refill container into the main container (bottle) or, in the case of detergent or fabric softener, into the automatic dispenser tank of a washing machine.
2. The adapter for a refill container with a stop function according to claim 1, characterized in that the tube at the center of the adapter has an outer and inner diameter that is made thinner, or made of a soft material, or a combination of both, which pinches the tube and stops the flow of liquid.
3. 2. The refill container adapter with stop function according to claim 1, characterized in that a cap attached to the outlet of the refill opening of the refill container can be attached to the outlet of the adapter to close the outlet.
