A method and an apparatus are provided for cleanly cutting off filling of a container with toner without post-cutoff dribbling. The apparatus for the method includes (a) a conduit member having a discharging end; (b) a conveyor device for moving the toner from the hopper towards the container; and (c) a nozzle device including a positive and negative air pressure applying device, and a nozzle member for directing the toner to the container. The nozzle member has a first end connected to the discharge end of the conduit member and a second and opposite end for dispensing moving toner into the container. The nozzle member includes a post-cutoff controllable vibrator assembly connected to a controller for selectively enabling clean cutoff of powder flowing into the container without post-cutoff dribbling.

An adaptor for fitting to a threaded opening of a container and adapted to co-operate with another product for the transfer of liquid from the container to or via the other product, the adaptor including; a cap portion adapted to engage with the rim of the container opening;a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart thread engaging components movably connected to and depending from said cap portion and adapted to engage with respective circumferentially spaced portions of the thread about the opening, andadjustment means operatively connected to said thread engaging components and adapted to adjust the position of said thread engaging components radially in and out for engagement with openings of different size.12. An adaptor according to claim 11, wherein the thread engaging components are spaced apart in the direction away from the cap portion whereby they can engage with circumferentially spaced portions of the same thread form.13. An adaptor according to claim 12, wherein the thread engaging components or at least a portion of each of them is flexible towards and away from the cap portion whereby they are self-adjusting to accommodate threads of slightly different pitch.14. An adaptor according to claim 11, wherein the thread engaging components or at least a portion of each of them is flexible towards and away from the cap portion whereby they are self-adjusting to accommodate threads of slightly different pitch.15. An adaptor according to claim 11, wherein the thread engaging components are so made and arranged that the area of contact with the threads of the threaded opening increases as they are adjusted to suit openings of greater diameter so that they can bear a greater tightening force.16. An adaptor according to claim 11, wherein the cap portion has an integrally formed upstanding wall on the opposite side to the thread engaging components, the cap portion having provided therein a socket formed therein, the socket having an entry adapted to receive therethrough the spigot portion or other liquid entry part of liquid transfer apparatus for transferring liquid from one container to another container including:a body defining an elongate liquid storage chamber having a liquid inlet at one end and a fluid outlet spaced longitudinally from said liquid inlet, a
