Water bottle storage and use furniture
Abstract
Water-bottle storage and use furniture has at least one base shelf ( 1 ), one of more bottle-use supports ( 3, 15 ) pyramidally above the base shelf and one or more uprights ( 5, 8 ) intermediate the base shelf and the use support. Weight of the base shelf and weight of any water bottles ( 2, 6, 7 ) provide pyramidical stability. Walls ( 10 ) and doors ( 13, 14 ) can cover open sides with aesthetics selectively and prevent outside view of full and used water bottles on the base shelf. Wheels, casters ( 12 ) and legs ( 9 ) can be positioned on the base shelf. The use support can be articulated for design orientation of the water bottles. Water dispensers ( 17 ) and water modifiers ( 18 ) of temperature, taste, color and quality of water dispensed from the water dispenser are optional.
