Refillable water bottle system

A refillable water dispensing system for use in combination with a bottled water dispenser of a type having a reservoir and defining an opening adapted to receive an inverted bottle of water for filling said reservoir for valved dispensing of the bottled water therefrom, said refillable water dispensing system comprising:

• a container having opposed top and bottom walls with a continuous side wall extending therebetween, said top wall defining an aperture, said bottom wall forming a neck adapted to be received by the bottled water dispenser opening such that said container may be received thereby, said neck defining an outlet aperture;
• a cap releasably coupled to said top wall of said container for covering said aperture, said cap defining an inlet port through which water may be conveyed into said container;
• a first lever pivotally coupled to said cap and pivotally movable between a closed configuration covering said inlet aperture and an open configuration displaced from said inlet aperture;
• a second lever pivotally coupled to said cap and pivotally movable between unsealed and sealed configurations;
• a ball valve connected to said second lever with a cord and suspended thereby in said container, said ball valve being spaced from said outlet aperture when said second lever is at said unsealed configuration and covering said outlet aperture when said second lever is at said sealed configuration;
• wherein water in said container is allowed to flow downstream through said outlet aperture and into the reservoir of the bottled water dispenser when said second lever is at said unsealed configuration unless a level of water received in said reservoir covers said outlet aperture and said first lever is at said closed configuration.

• a first lever pivotally coupled to said cap and pivotally movable about a horizontal axis between a closed configuration covering said inlet aperture and an open configuration displaced from said inlet aperture;
• a second lever coupled to said cap and pivotally movable about said horizontal axis between unsealed and sealed configurations;
• a ball valve connected to said second lever with a cord and suspended thereby in said container, said ball valve being spaced from said outlet aperture when said second lever is at said unsealed configuration and covering said outlet aperture when said second lever is at said sealed configuration;

• wherein said second lever covers said first lever when said first and second levers are at said closed and unsealed configurations, respectively, whereby said first lever is inaccessible and may not be pivotally moved from said closed configuration while said second lever is at said unsealed configuration.
