ABSTRACT:
A trough drinker is provided which is detachably secured to the exterior of the supply line separately from and operable associated with a detachable trigger drinker. The trough drinker includes a vertically extending stem, an elongated housing disposed about the stem and closely separated therefrom, a trough portion extending about the circumference of the housing for retaining water, a base skirt radially extending from the lower portion of the stem, an annular flange extending from the upper portion of the housing, and a spring biasing arrangement to move the flange upward when a predetermined level of fluid is present in the trough. The trigger drinker is longitudinally offset from the trough drinker along the supply line such that the upward movement of the flange causes the trigger drinker to be actuated and fluid to flow into the trough over the exterior surface of the housing. The trigger drinker is separately detachable from the supply line without removing the trough drinker. The trough drinker is snap-fit to the supply line such that rotational and longitudinal movement are prevented. The spring biasing force on the flange is exteriorly adjustable by a lever protrusion. The trough drinker may be readily assembled from or disassembled into its separate components to facilitate cleaning, storage and shipping.
