Abstract
The present invention relates to 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, so that the child container can be used for instance as a travel pack in a handbag or hand luggage. Here the child container is a compact dispenser, comprising a bowl-shaped rigid container () having a refill opening (), which is kept closed by a valve unless the dispenser is connected to a supply container, and a dispense opening (). These openings are located with a spacing from each other, and a pump () dispenses liquid from the dispense opening (). In this particularly simple construction, the opening of the bowl is covered by a deformable membrane () to form a closed dispense cavity (), the cavity becoming mainly or completely evacuated as the dispensing means is operated. The membrane then relaxes again, filling the dispenser, when the dispenser is re-applied to the parent container.
