ABSTRACT:
A filler adapter assembly for a multichambered container. The filler adapter mounts on the open end of a multichambered container. The filler adapter enables individual chambers within the container to be emptied or filled without contaminating adjacent chambers. The assembly includes a filler adapter and a releasable closure. The filler adapter is a hollow tubular member having a closure end which matingly engages the open end of the container. The closure end provides plugs and a gasket for sealing all chambers except a single selected chamber. A small opening in the closure end overlies the selected chamber providing fluid communication between the selected chamber and a conical lumen within the filler adapter. The releasable closure provides a leak proof seal between the filler adapter and container. The stem of the funnel or similar device may be placed in the larger opening of the conical lumen and a fluid introduced into the selected chamber. Likewise, fluid may be drained from the selected chamber by simply inverting the container with the filler adapter assembly in place. Plugs in the closure end of the filler adapter occlude the openings of the other chambers, preventing drainage of fluid therefrom, while the larger opening in the conical lumen provides drainage for emptying the desired chamber. An air vent in the filler adapter enables the escape of gas during filling and provides on overflow channel for preventing overfilling the chamber.
