Abstract
The present invention provides a container system for liquids such as spray fragrances. The system includes a parent container () and a child container (). The parent container provides a first cavity () for confining a liquid, and couples detachably to the child container for refilling the child container through a supply opening () in the parent container. The child container has a cavity () for the liquid, a dispensing mechanism for dispensing liquid, and a valve assembly () for filling or topping up liquid into the child container from the parent. The valve () opens when the parent container is coupled to the child container. Either the parent or the child container system further includes a movable part () which automatically urges liquid from the parent container to the child container, so that when the two containers are together the child container is always full. However, when the child container is separated it can be operated as a self-contained dispenser.
