Patent ID: 7275662

Claim:
A bottle support device for supporting a water bottle in a refrigerator, the bottle support device comprising: a body member comprising a first end and a second end, said body member having a top surface, said body member tapering from said second end to said first end, said body member being adapted for being positioned on a shelf of the refrigerator, said body member being adapted for being positioned under the water bottle such that said body member supports the water bottle at an angle to concentrate the water around a water nozzle of the water bottle to allow the pressure from the water to increase the rate at which water is dispensed from the water nozzle; a periphery wall being coupled to said body member such that said periphery wall extends upwardly from the top surface of said body member, said periphery wall and said body member defining a recessed space such that said recessed space adapted for receiving the water bottle, said periphery wall having an inner surface extending upwardly from the top surface of said body member, said periphery wall being adapted for selectively abutting the water bottle such that said periphery wall is for inhibiting sliding of the water bottle off of said body member when the water bottle is position on said body member, said periphery wall extending along a perimeter edge of said top surface of said body member, said periphery wall having an upper edge, an entirety of the upper edge of said periphery wall lying in a single plane, said periphery wall having a uniform height extending above said top surface of said body member such that a depth of said recessed space is uniform along a length of said recessed space to allow said periphery wall to extend around a portion of the water bottle when the water bottle is positioned in said recessed spaced; said periphery wall comprising a cavity extending into said periphery wall, said cavity being positioned proximate said first end of said body member, said cavity being adapted for providing clearance of said periphery wall by the water nozzle of the water bottle when the water bottle is positioned in the recessed space defined by said periphery wall and said body member, said cavity extending into the inner surface of said periphery wall without decreasing the uniform height of said periphery wall, said cavity being arcuate in shape; at least one foot member being coupled to a bottom surface of said body member, said foot member being adapted for being positioned between said body member and the shelf of the refrigerator such that said foot member is for inhibiting sliding of said body member along the shelf of the refrigerator; and said foot member comprising a friction enhancing material, said friction enhancing member being adapted for enhancing frictional contact with the shelf of the refrigerator to inhibit sliding said body member with respect to the shelf of the refrigerator.
