A water dispenser is provided in which drinking water in a water bottle can be pumped out as much as possible, leaving only a minimum amount, with a neck portion of the water bottle directed horizontally. The water dispenser includes a replaceable water bottle (4) formed flexible so as to be collapsible as the amount of remaining water decreases; a bottle receiver (5) having a bottle mounting plate (54) configured to support the trunk portion (40) of the water bottle (4) from below, with the neck portion (43) of the water bottle (4) directed horizontally; a raw water pumping pipe (6) connected to the water outlet port (14) of the water bottle (4); and a pump (7) provided in the raw water pumping pipe (6) and configured to pump out the drinking water from the water bottle (4). In this water dispenser, a protrusion (66) is provided on the upper surface of the bottle mounting board (54), and configured to induce a portion of the trunk portion (40) of the water bottle (4) in contact with the bottle mounting board (54) to be folded inward when the water bottle (4) is collapsed. |
