THE INVENTION RELATES TO A DEVICE FOR FEEDING A LIQUID INTO OR REMOVING A LIQUID FROM A RECEPTACLE, SAID DEVICE HAVING A SPIKE (1) AND A HOUSING (10, 20, 30) CONNECTED TO THE SPIKE (1), WHEREIN THE SPIKE (1) HAS A LIQUID CHANNEL (6) AND A VENTING CHANNEL (7), AND THE HOUSING (10, 20, 30) HAS A LIQUID FILTER CHAMBER (24) CONNECTED TO THE LIQUID CHANNEL (6) AND A VENTING FILTER CHAMBER (11) CONNECTED TO THE VENTING CHANNEL (7). IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A LARGER FILTER SURFACE WHILE KEEPING THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE STRUCTURE TO A MINIMUM, THE INVENTION PROPOSES THAT THE LIQUID FILTER CHAMBER (24) AND THE VENTING FILTER CHAMBER (11) ARE ARRANGED ONE ABOVE THE OTHER IN THE DIRECTION OF A LONGITUDINAL AXIS (4) RUNNING ALONG THE SPIKE (1).
