Patent ID: 8893988

Claim:
A stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus configured for enabling an identically-configured stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus to be positioned therein in a stacked manner and for enabling the stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus to be positioned within the identically-configured stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus in a stacked manner, the stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus comprising: a liquid-holding tank having an open end portion, a closed end portion and a liquid-receiving space defined therebetween, wherein the liquid-holding tank includes a liquid-dispensing structure recess adjacent to the closed end portion thereof, wherein a landing within the liquid-receiving space defines a top wall of the liquid-dispensing structure recess, and wherein the liquid-holding tank rests upon the landing of the identically-configured stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus when the stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus is positioned in the stacked manner within the liquid-receiving space of the identically-configured stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus; and a liquid-dispensing structure mounted on the liquid-holding tank and in fluid communication with the liquid-receiving space thereof, wherein the liquid-dispensing structure is positioned entirely within the liquid-dispensing structure recess such that the liquid-dispensing structure does not contact the identically-configured stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus when the stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus is positioned in the stacked manner within the liquid-receiving space of the identically-configured stackable liquid-dispensing apparatus.
