  • Patent number: 4121800
    Abstract: The bracket is designed to support a drinking water container either to the underside of a cabinet or to the side wall of the cabinet in a convenient position for dispensing water from the container into a drinking glass. The bracket itself is made up of two plate members and a cooperating rod. The arrangement is such that a first one of the plate members may be secured directly to the underside of a cabinet to support a drinking container at this location. Alternatively, the first plate member may be secured to the side wall of a cabinet by way of the second plate member for supporting the drinking container in this particular location. In either location, the cooperating rod member is arranged to pass over the top of the handle of the container supported in the first plate member to secure or lock the container to the bracket and thus avoid accidental dislodgement.
