<p>The self-actuated drinking device is in the form of a tap-type water dispenser for animals. There is a bore or slot (2) at the projecting tap on the top or bottom side. There is a metal plunger (3) or a metal ball (3) with a bore (4) in the first bore or slot (2). It is flexibly set on a valve pin (5) with a valve (7) and seal (8). The spring (10) presses the valve (7) with the seal (8) onto the orifice (9) and shuts off the water flow. The water flow is opened by a release element (1-5, 7-10) which is operated by the animal's jaws.</p> |
