ABSTRACT:
An animal-operated watering device includes a valve body having a passageway through the body with an inlet and an outlet with a moveable valve operating member having a head portion resting on a collar portion of the valve body and extending substantially the length of a first passage portion in the valve body, with the moveable valve member further including a stem extending through a second passage and projecting beyond the outlet end of the valve body where a spacer lies on the valve element and extends upwardly a portion of the passageway between the valve element and the inlet, where the valve element includes a portion contacting the valve seat which is sufficiently elastomeric to flow along the seat to effectuate a substantially water-tight seal at the seat responsively to an urging member bearing on the valve element.
