Abstract
An end piece is adapted for connection and fluid communication with a dip tube for drawing in matter through suction. The end piece includes an upper part and a lower part. The upper part is connected with the bottom end of the tube. The lower part includes an upper base, a lower base and an enclosing wall by which the lower base is joined to the upper base. The enclosing wall defines a hollow space between the upper base and the lower base. The lower base is larger in area than the upper base such that the hollow space is tapered toward the upper base. The lower base provides an opening for matter to enter.
