Abstract
A fluid dispensing system including a parent dispenser and a child dispenser, wherein the parent dispenser has a parent body with a parent reservoir containing fluid, a first magnetic coupling member, a passage, a parent pump mechanism and a parent actuator. The parent actuator has an outlet, a second magnetic coupling member, and actuator inlet tube. The actuator inlet tube is removably received within the passage. The first and second magnetic coupling members cooperate to removably couple the parent actuator and the parent body. The child dispenser has a child body with a child reservoir, a child pump mechanism, and a child inlet tube. The child inlet tube is removably received within the passage when the child dispenser is coupled to the parent body. When the child dispenser is coupled to the parent body, the parent pump is actuated to transfer fluid from the parent to the child reservoir.
