ABSTRACT:
A stackable, lightweight water dispenser bottle and method of using a plurality of such bottles in conjunction with a conventional water cooler is disclosed. The bottle comprises a generally parallelepipedal container body with rounded edges and corners with a plurality of dimples in a top portion and complementarily shaped protuberances on a bottom portion. The top portion has a central depression therein with a round hole surrounded by a cylindrical collar sealed by a screw-on cap. A neck portion rising from a central depression in the bottom portion terminates in an opening communicating with the interior of the container body and is sealed with a plastic cap after the water bottle is filled. A first such water bottle can be inverted and sealingly inserted into the opening at the top of a water cooler to partially fill the cooler. A second water bottle with its neck portion uncapped is sealingly inserted into the hole surrounded by the collar of the first water bottle to add the contents of the second water bottle to the water cooler. Each water bottle is sized to accommodate about 2.5 to 3.5 gallons and filled with water weighs approximately 21 pounds, thereby facilitating lifting, inverting, and positioning efforts in filling a water cooler. A stacking spacer arrangement allows convenient storage of filled bottles.
