Abstract: Watering trough for animals provided at the base of its tank with an emptying opening. The emptying opening is of large diameter (between 90 and 120 mm) and is closed by a monobloc plug in two portions, a first portion which closes the emptying opening and a second screw-threaded portion, which engages in a screw-thread disposed in the wall of a recess hollowed out in the wall of the tank; the height of the portion being equal to the depth of the recess.

Abstract: An individual watering bowl with a multidirectional connection, comprising a bowl (1) constituted by a basin (10) connected to a rear surface (11) by a shoulder (12) and plumbing (2). A valve body (20) and a manipulating member (21) are adapted to be connected to a water inlet conduit by a connection (3). There is, disposed between the basin and the rear surface, a wall (16) secured to the shoulder (12) and perpendicular to the shoulder (12) and parallel to the rear surface (11) on which is secured the plumbing (2), whereby the connection (3) can be arranged in at least five directions.

Abstract: A heated watering trough for livestock of the type comprising a central body, forming a warm water reservoir, about which are disposed a plurality of drinking bowls. The central body (1) is provided with a plurality of vertical indentations (6, 7), each terminating at its base in a shoulder (6a, 7a), in which is provided a hollow recess (9, 10) having the shape of a watering bowl and being provided with a water supply valve from the central reservoir (1). The portions (8) comprised between the indentations (6, 7) constitute separations between the different watering stations permitting several animals to drink simultaneously without fighting among themselves.

Abstract: A drinking trough comprises an elbow to which a water inlet pipe is attached and a spigot that extends above a basin, and is arranged along a back wall of the basin. A hole is in the back wall of the basin through which an end of the elbow is positioned. The spigot is positioned on the end of the elbow, and a screw attaches the elbow, the back wall and the spigot to each other. Water arriving through the elbow passes toward the outlet of the spigot.

Abstract: An automatic drinking-trough which can only be used by animals for drinking purposes has a pressurized water duct the aperture of which is closed by a valve. The opening of the valve is controlled by a tube displaceable in all directions. The valve is arranged under a hood situated above the bowl, with the end of the control tube protruding vertically below the hood and in the bottom of the bowl. Thus the animal has to drive its snout down to the bottom of the bowl in order to reach the tube and cannot tamper with it inadvertably or playfully.

Abstract: The device adapts the rate of flow of an automatic drinking bowl as a function of the pressure prevailing in the installation to which it is connected, and is constituted by a cylindrical part threaded at its two ends and provided with two oblique internal channels having different diameters, each being located in a radial plane of the part and opening to the outside of said latter on the other hand at one of its ends and on the other hand in its median, non-threaded zone; the part is inserted between an upstream portion and a downstream portion of the supply pipe of the drinking bowl at a union, by being screwed in a threaded hole made in the male element of the union and from the bottom of which issues the downstream portion so that the communication between the two portions is established through one of said channels. The invention finds advantageous application in equipment used in stock raising.
