Abstract
The invention relates to a refill bottle where a refill is held by two half-shells connected along a substantially medial plane; a stand is securely joined with a lower portion of the first half-shell and the second half-shell includes a boss which securely joins it with the stand or the first half-shell while allowing it to see-saw about the refill bottle in order to close against the first half-shell. A threaded bushing is provided to mate with a one-half male thread portion of a neck to enable the two half-shells to be securely joined in the vicinity of the neck of the refill bottle at the upper portion of the bottle.
