摘要

A vessel body has an interior cavity in which a liquid is to be contained, an upper hole that communicates with the interior cavity, and a lower hole that communicates with the interior cavity. A spring inside the vessel body is in a pre-loaded condition and that also plugs the upper hole and the lower hole.
