Abstract
A water dispenser includes a bottle support area, a bowl and a channel. The bottle support area has a nozzle receiving portion defined by a circular sidewall that is configured to abut a nozzle of a water bottle. The bowl is fluidly connected to the bottle support area. The channel has a pair of first and second sidewalls extending from the nozzle receiving portion to the bowl to fluidly connect the nozzle receiving portion and the bowl. The channel has a maximum diameter that is less than a maximum diameter of the nozzle receiving portion. The channel further includes a pair of first and second protrusions extending from the first and second sidewalls of the channel towards each other. The first and second protrusions define a minimum diameter of the channel.
