Abstract: A poultry drinking cup having a cup body with an inlet opening, valve means, and a trigger in operative engagement with the valve means. Shielding means are positioned to shield the trigger movement from interference by dirt or debris. With the trigger rotatably mounted in a recess in the cup body, the shielding means may be mounted above the recess. The trigger may include a water finger positioned within an opening through the trigger to conduct water through the opening to a receptacle in the trigger. A resilient clamp member may be connected to the cup body to fit about a pipe leading to the cup for supporting the cup with respect to the pipe.

Abstract: A poultry drinking cup having a cup body with an input opening for engagement with a water feed line. Valve means control the flow of water through the input opening into the cup body and the cup is supported by a snap-fitting member connected to the cup. The snap-fitting member may include a cavity which is engageable with the water feed line or a support member and retaining means are provided to maintain the cavity in engagement with the water feed line or support member.The poultry drinking cup may include an outwardly flared, upwardly projecting skirt on the cup body. The valve means is preferably controlled by means of a trigger or fount which extends into the cup body. The low point within the cup body is preferably positioned in close proximity to the trigger or fount.
