Abstract: There is disclosed a safety fountain head for drinking fountains, bubblers, and the like, which comprises a body that is formed of a resilient, impact-absorbing plastic having a bulbous shape and a dependent neck which receives a tubular metal sleeve member that distally bears means for attachment of the head to a conduit and which terminates within the body as a tubular member having a leg portion angularly disposed to the sleeve. The body has a discharge port which communicates with the open end of the leg portion and also has a drain and aeration passageway which communicates from an undersurface of the body to a drain and aeration port in the sleeve member. The sleeve member is metallic and is embedded within the plastic body which is molded to the sleeve member during its manufacture. The sleeve member has a peripheral rib to enhance its retention within the molded-on plastic body.
