Abstract
An apparatus for storing and dispensing a fluid from a flexible portable fluid container. The apparatus includes a bottom surface and at least one sidewall that defining a cavity configured to receive a flexible portable fluid container. A support member extends from the bottom surface of the body into the cavity to help support the flexible portable fluid container. An extruding member extends outwardly from the outside portion of the sidewall and defines a channel that extends from the inside portion of the sidewall through the extruding member. The channel is sized to receive the spout of the flexible portable fluid container.

An apparatus for storing and dispensing a fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a body including a bottom surface and at least one sidewall with an inside portion and an outside portion, the bottom surface and the inside portion of the sidewall defining a cavity configured to receive a flexible portable fluid container including a spout for dispensing a fluid from within the flexible portable fluid container;
- a support member extending from the bottom surface of the body into the cavity, the support member for positioning the flexible portable fluid container above the bottom surface;
- and
- an extruding member extending from the outside portion of the sidewall and defining a channel that extends from the inside portion of the sidewall through the extruding member, the channel sized to receive the spout of the flexible portable fluid container, wherein the support member defines a tubular shape extending upwards from the bottom surface and sized so that the spout is aligned with the extruding member.
An apparatus for storing and dispensing a fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a body including a bottom surface and at least one sidewall with an inside portion and an outside portion, the bottom surface and the inside portion of the sidewall defining a cavity configured to receive a flexible portable fluid container including a spout for dispensing a fluid from within the flexible portable fluid container;
- a support member extending from the bottom surface of the body into the cavity, the support member for positioning the flexible portable fluid container above the bottom surface;
- an extruding member extending from the outside portion of the sidewall and defining a channel that extends from the inside portion of the sidewall through the extruding member, the channel sized to receive the spout of the flexible portable fluid container, wherein the support member defines a tubular shape extending upwards from the bottom surface and sized so that the spout is aligned with the extruding member;
- and
- a lid shaped substantially similar to an opening of the cavity and includes a lip configured to engage the sidewall and cover the opening;
- wherein the base includes:
- a base bottom adapted to engage a flat surface;
- a support extending upwards from the base bottom and defining a holding surface adapted to engage the body;
- and
- a lip extending from the holding surface, wherein the holding surface and lip hold the body in a static position.
An apparatus for storing and dispensing a fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a body including;
- a bottom surface;
- a drawer positioned within the body, the drawer configured to receive a temperature regulator;
- and
- at least one sidewall with an inside portion and an outside portion, the bottom surface and the inside portion of the sidewall defining a cavity configured to receive a flexible portable fluid container including a spout for dispensing a fluid from within the flexible portable fluid container, wherein the temperature regulator is in thermal communication with the portable fluid container when the drawer is closed;
- a support member extending from the bottom surface of the body into the cavity the support member for positioning the flexible portable fluid container above the bottom of the body;
- and
- an extruding member extending from the outside portion of the sidewall and defining a channel that extends from the inside portion of the sidewall through the extruding member, the channel sized to receive the spout of the flexible portable fluid container, wherein the support member defines a tubular shape extending upwards from the bottom surface and sized so that the spout is aligned with the extruding member.
