ABSTRACT:
A drainless water cooler or fountain having a gooseneck water dispensing faucet and a waste water receptacle cup mounted on top of the multiply tiered top member. A cup is removably carried within a downwardly depending well which can be retrofitted for readily and economically converting the drainless-type water fountain or cooler into a more permanent drain connected installation. A dual action valve featuring reduced diameter valve seat and valve construction is capable of regulating and dispensing either hot or cold water through the common gooseneck faucet. Placement of the faucet and waste water receptacle cup on the top of the cabinet eliminates the need to bend or stoop when dispensing water or emptying the receptacle cup. The receptacle cup is disposed within the interior of the cabinet and is thus protected against accidental bumping or spilling.
