ABSTRACT:
A modular system for holding water cooler bottles on their sides so as to be easily stored and readily accessible for removal and placement in a water cooler. The present invention is an integrally formed molded plastic bottle holder unit which is vertically stackably interconnectable and horizontally interconnectable to form a bottle holder system. Each unit has four vertical supports. Two parallel horizontal supports are provided, each integrally formed with and connecting a pair of vertical supports. These pairs of connected vertical supports are connected by two horizontal supports each shaped and arcuately contoured to support the curved side of a water bottle. An integrally formed horizontal support member extends between the two contoured horizontal support members substantially parallel to the bottle longitudinal axis. Each vertical support has an upper and lower end which are open and form a receiving cavity for either an end cap, a caster holder, a transition element between two stacked bottle units or a connector or connector caster member for connecting two or more horizontally adjacent bottle units. The individual connectors, caster holders, end caps or transition elements each have wedging surfaces integrally formed in the faces of the sides thereof.
