ABSTRACT:
A watering cup has a rear wall, shaped as by ledges, to direct water downwardly into the cup in a swirling motion. A triggering arm is mounted on the cup for pivoting in accordance with the operation of the arm by the fowl. A valve disposed in the cup is operative between a normally closed position and an open position in accordance with the triggering of the arm by the fowl. Water passing through the valve is directed in a swirling movement along the rear wall of the cup to clean the rear wall. This may be accomplished by hooded portions with configurations defining converging arcuate areas at their centers and outwardly and downwardly directed channels at their peripheries. The cup has a body portion and a clamping member. The clamping member may be coupled at one end to a pipe for supplying water to the cup and is provided at the other end with fingers for retention by the opposite lateral ends of the body portion. A pivot pin extends through the clamping member for disposition on the rim of the body portion and supports the triggering arm for pivotal movement. A rocker arm is also pivotable with the pin at a position external to the body portion of the cup. The pivotal movement of the rocker and triggering arms is limited in one direction by a particular one of the fingers and in the other direction by a projection on the external surface of the cup body portion.
