  • Patent number: 11725650
    Abstract: A liquid feeder switches a flow path of a liquid having flowed in from an inflow port to one of a flow path communicating with a first base communication port and a bypass outflow path. When a pump is attached to a base, the bypass outflow path is closed to allow the liquid having flowed in from the inflow port to flow to the pump. When the pump is removed from the base, the bypass outflow path is opened to allow the liquid having flowed in from the inflow port to flow from the bypass outflow path to the outflow port. The liquid feeder is able to prevent liquid leakage when a pump of a liquid feeder is replaced or repaired.

  • Publication number: 20220057124
    Abstract: A liquid feeder switches a flow path of a liquid having flowed in from an inflow port to one of a flow path communicating with a first base communication port and a bypass outflow path. When a pump is attached to a base, the bypass outflow path is closed to allow the liquid having flowed in from the inflow port to flow to the pump. When the pump is removed from the base, the bypass outflow path is opened to allow the liquid having flowed in from the inflow port to flow from the bypass outflow path to the outflow port. The liquid feeder is able to prevent liquid leakage when a pump of a liquid feeder is replaced or repaired.
