Patent number: 11725650Abstract: 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.
