Provision is made for a device (24) which lays hold on the container neck (6) when inserted into 3 the opening (5), thus keeping it in vertical alignment beneath the valve (1), and for at least one plate whose function is that of closing the opening (5) automatically whenever there is no such container offered thereto for the purpose of being filled.
