Patent ID: 8857669

Claim:
A water dispenser comprising: a housing comprising a top portion thereof for receiving a water bottle spout-down; an faucet-reservoir assembly in the form of a single integrated unit comprising a contiguous rigid body structure and being removably mounted to said housing and comprising: a reservoir longitudinally extending within said housing and defining top and bottom ends thereof, said reservoir top end being in fluid communication with the water bottle so as to receive water therefrom thereby filling said reservoir, said reservoir comprises a top section having said reservoir top end and a bottom section extending from said top section and having said reservoir bottom end, said reservoir bottom section being longer and narrower than said reservoir top section, said top section defining a bottom outer surface thereof; and a faucet extending from said reservoir top section about a junction between said reservoir top and bottom sections and being positioned closer to said reservoir top end than to said reservoir bottom end, said faucet having an outlet beneath said to section bottom outer surface; a longitudinal conduit in fluid communication at a top end thereof with said faucet and having a bottom end thereof extending to said reservoir bottom end and defining an inlet; and an auxiliary longitudinal conduit extending from said faucet towards a water treatment apparatus, a return longitudinal conduit extending from said water treatment apparatus to said faucet, wherein water flows from the water bottle into said reservoir via gravity, the water flow pressure causing water to enter said inlet and flow upwardly said longitudinal conduit to be accessed via said faucet, wherein water flows downwardly via gravity from said faucet to said water treatment apparatus, the water flow pressure from said auxiliary longitudinal conduit causing water in said water treatment apparatus to flow upwardly into said return longitudinal conduit to be accessed via said faucet.
