Apparatus and method for a pressurized dispenser refill system

摘要

A sustainable system for refilling a pressurized fluid dispenser comprises a container body having a first fluid dispenser that includes a valved opening, a pouch mounted within the container body for storing a fluid composition and fluidly coupled with the valved opening of the container for dispensing the contents of the pouch and a fluid refill system. A pressurized gas can be provided between the pouch and the container body for pressurizing the contents of the pouch. The fluid refill system includes at least one reservoir having a fluid composition therein and a second fluid dispenser having a fitting that is adapted to dispense the fluid composition from the at least one reservoir into the pouch. A controller can be programmed to respond to input signals to position the container with the fluid refill system and to dispense the fluid composition under pressure into the pouch.

1. A sustainable system for refilling a pressurized fluid dispenser comprising:
a container body having a first fluid dispenser that includes a valved opening having a normally closed value; a pouch mounted within the container body for storing a fluid composition therein and fluidly coupled with the valved opening for dispensing the contents of the pouch; a dispensing tube extending from the valved opening to a dispensing outlet, the dispensing tube further comprising an extension that branches from the dispensing tube and a check valve to preclude fluid flow from the dispensing tube into the extension; and a pressurized gas between the pouch and the container body for pressurizing the contents of the pouch for dispensing under pressure through the first fluid dispenser; and a fluid refill system including:
at least one reservoir having a fluid composition therein;a second fluid dispenser connected to the at least one reservoir and having a fitting that is adapted to interface with the valved opening of the first fluid dispenser to dispense the fluid composition under pressure into the pouch; anda controller that is programmed to respond to input signals to position the container body into a docking relationship with the fluid refill system, wherein the second fluid dispenser fitting interfaces with the first fluid dispenser, and to dispense the fluid composition under pressure into the pouch; wherein the extension includes a fitting adapted to interface with the second fluid dispenser fitting for filling the pouch.
