Tech/Engineering - Other / small household appliance (electric window cleaner)
German term or phrase: Anspießöffnung
Unfortunately, I don't have any other context than the illustration of the various components. From the look of it water gets from the stationary water tank into the reservoir in the removable part via the "Anspießöffnung". Any ideas?

Thank you for the hint. "Tap insert" is not the right translation in this context, but since it's directed at the general public I just used "water inlet".
