  • Patent number: 4450789
    Abstract: A watering device for confined poultry is offered. The watered includes an upwardly opening cup, and a valve mechanism at the cup bottom. Ears extend from the cup over a valve body to retain the valve body in the cup. These ears can be provided with extensions for engaging a flotation member so as to dispose the flotation member and a valve pin in upright positions even when little or no water is present in the cup. A mounting base attaches to at least one bar of the poultry confinement area, and supports the cup and valve on the cage bar. A cup upper lip has at least one recess adapted to engage a cage bar so as to mount the waterer in a position accessible to the confined poultry.
