Apparatus and method for a pressurized dispenser refill system

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 valve;
• 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 bistable flap that is moveable between a first position in which the flap blocks a flow of fluid through the extension and a second position in which the flap blocks a flow of fluid to the dispensing outlet;
• 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;
• and
• a 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.

• wherein the first fluid dispenser further includes a selectively rotatable cap that is rotatable between a first position in which the dispensing outlet is accessible and a second position in which a filling inlet is accessible and wherein when the cap is in the first position the fluid composition can be selectively dispensed from the pouch through the dispensing outlet onto a surface to be cleaned and when the cap is in the second position the pouch can be refilled through the filling inlet by the refill system.
