Abstract: A housing for mounting on a water dispenser which includes a compartment to extend over water dispensing spigots on the dispenser. The compartment has an aperture in its top in which presser bars are positioned. The presser bars are pivotally supported by the housing and overlie the spigots to actuate them in a manner to reduce wear on and corresponding leakage of their valves. The presser bars have large areas of contact to enable them to be depressed by persons of reduced finger strength by forming a leverage system which reduces the actuating force necessary to operate the spigots.

Abstract: A modular liquid dispensing apparatus having a housing with a reservoir for holding liquid. A readily replaceable liner is positioned within the reservoir to minimize the need for sanitizing the reservoir. The liquid dispensing apparatus is modular in that it can be field converted to dispense hot water, cold water and/or room temperature water depending on the desires of the end user.

Abstract: A drinking fountain of the wall hung type having a push bar actuator operable and usable by a handicapped occupant of a wheel chair without assistance by others. A cabinet is adapted to be mounted on a wall, and a control valve is actuated by an inwardly depressible push bar in the front wall thereof which is supported by pivot means and the push bar operates a control valve to cause a stream of drinking water to be dispensed in an upward trajectory from a drinking spout mounted upon the cabinet. The push bar is capable of being actuated by gently pushing either end or the middle of the bar inwardly with a return spring providing automatic shutoff when the push bar is released.
