Abstract: A case for a five gallon water bottle has an internal abutment cooperating with a raised bead on the bottle to prevent inadvertent or accidental removal of the bottle from the case. The bottle for its removal requires its neck portion to be raised manually sufficiently such that such bead may ride over or clear such abutment. Such neck portion is cylindrical and is sufficiently prolonged between raised portions to allow a person to wrap four fingers of his hand around such cylindrical portion for easier and safer handling of the bottle.

Abstract: A combination sealing, venting, mounting and filter element is positioned between a replaceable inverted water bottle and a water reservoir from which the water is dispensed. The element is snugly fitted within the mouth portion of the reservoir or olla of plastic material into which a dispensing valve is threaded. The element includes a venting channel in communication with a filter housing which is releasably secured to such element adjacent to an upwardly extending flange portion, the flanged portion being apertured for venting and also shaped to provide a sealing portion engaging the bottle. Also the element has a downwardly extending portion near its periphery for engagement of a flat surface of a housing for the reservoir.

Abstract: A plastic carrying case is constructed with a special elevated center divider and an inner depressed ledge portion and also with a special lower grooved portion that allows the center divider of a lower case to enter and be guided by the lower grooved portion of an upper case to facilitate movement of an upper case onto the ledge portion of the lower case. There is a special interrelationship between the center divider and the lower grooved portion of an adjacent case that assures rigidity yet facilitates intentional removal. The case walls are of thin construction for economy reinforced, however, by vertical beads through which compressive forces are transmitted.

Abstract: A collapsible carton is provided with two bottom closure flaps. A center divider is also provided which has its bottom edge extended along the junction between the two bottom flaps. This center divider and the two bottom flaps have intermeshing apertured projections. Each projection has a cylindrical hole extending therethrough and all said projections are alignable to receive a single securing pin.

Abstract: A water spigot has a quickly attachable and detachable nozzle for sanitary, assembly and constructional purposes. The nozzle besides producing a uniform flow denys access to the valve element and its actuator thereby greatly minimizing possibility of contamination which otherwise exists by persons who are inclined to touch the valve element and/or its actuator in prior art spigots. The nozzle is quickly attachable and detachable for assembly purposes and testing in original manufactive and, if desired, in subsequent repair. The construction is such that the valve actuator, in the form of a wire, is no longer required to be as long as in prior art spigots thereby minimizing mechanical problems and resulting in a more trouble free sanitary spigot.
