ABSTRACT:
A watering or drinking device for small animals includes a drinking valve operable by an animal and a hanger bracket attacheable anywhere on a wire cage. The device includes an actuating pin held within the valve cavity by a flexible retainer plug. The lower portion of the retainer plug is seated on a shoulder provided in the valve cavity and prevents liquid to pass through the valve. Lateral pivotal movement or axial movement of the actuating pin which is seated on a second shoulder provided in the valve cavity and in contact with the retainer plug, will cause the lower portion of the retainer plug to be unseated from the said shoulder and allow liquid to pass through the valve. The wing clip of the valve-bracket has a vertical slit and allows the device to fit either between two vertical wires of a wire cage or over one vertical wire of a wire cage. The wing clip includes horizontal recesses to embrace a horizontal wire of a wire cage to hold the valve-bracket securely in a desired position on a wire cage.
