主权项

1. A coupler apparatus for coupling a container holding material to a reservoir, the coupler apparatus comprising:
a first end portion configured to be inserted into the container; a second end portion configured to be coupled to the reservoir, wherein each of the first end portion and the second end portion define a channel extending from the first end portion to the second end portion to allow material to flow from the first end portion to the second end portion, wherein material is free to flow through the channel from the first end portion to the second end portion when the second end portion is coupled to the reservoir, wherein material is inhibited from flowing through the channel from the first end portion to the second end portion when the second end portion is not coupled to the reservoir; and attachment apparatus located between the first end portion and the second end portion configured to retain the coupler apparatus to the container when the first end portion is inserted in the container.
