Plastic Water Bottle Storage Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel water bottle storage device. The device is an improved storage system for plastic water bottles. The device comprises a perimeter frame that can be shaped into multiple configurations, such as a V-shaped frame, a circular frame, and a triangular frame, etc. The frames comprise a plurality of shelves or recesses/indentations to receive and retain different sizes of water bottles. Specifically, users can store 16 ounce and 20 ounce plastic water bottles within the device. Thus, the device is used to neatly store water bottles above a floor surface and may be comprised of different types of aesthetically pleasing materials, such as wood or metal.
