Abstract

The invention concerns an arrangement for refilling a container (1) to be refilled with pourable products and having at least one metering product outlet aperture (3) by means of a refilling container (2) with an outlet aperture (15). The arrangement is designed to facilitate the easy, user-friendly refilling of such expensive product containers from simple refilling containers, with the particular intention of preventing the product from contacting the user during the refilling process. This aim is achieved in that the container (1) to be refilled, fitted with a closable refilling aperture (4), is fitted with a first connecting component (8) and the refilling container (2) can be connected to the first connecting component (8) via a second connecting component (16) at its outlet aperture.
