Abstract:
A refill bottle, such as a laundry refill bottle, is disclosed that can be used with a consumer refill station to reuse the bottle over and over. The refill bottle includes automatic flow control valves, that allow the bottle to be filled, handled, dispensed from, and refilled innumerable times without a cap. The elimination of a cap alleviates the manufacturer and consumer of the tasks of installing, loosening, tightening, removing, and reinstalling or replacing the cap. The refillable bottle uses flow control valves, specifically an automatic filling valve, an automatic pressure vent valve, a manual/automatic dispensing valve, and an automatic vacuum vent valve. The refill bottle enables liquid and air to be exchanged during filling, handling, dispensing, and refilling.

Claim (Index 19):
A reusable, refillable bottle for dispensing a viscous fluid acquired from a refill station, the bottle comprising:\n a body and including a handle on an upper surface; a first valve on the upper surface for automatically introducing air into the body of the bottle when a pressure in the bottle falls below a predetermined value; a second valve for releasing air from the interior of the body as product is introduced into the body; a dispensing button; a dispensing spout; and a fill valve for filling the bottle with product; wherein the bottle lacks a lid or removable top, and wherein the first and second valves are incorporated into a single unit.
