Abstract: A first embodiment of the present invention contemplates a rectangular cubic container including five sub-chambers generally separated from one another by parallel partitions, with each partition having a small weep hole near its bottom. The weep holes are designed to facilitate equalization of water level in each sub-chamber. Each sub-chamber has an elongated length dimension and a width that is relatively narrow and designed to approximate the width of an animal's tongue. When an animal is drinking water from one of the sub-chambers of this embodiment, as the tongue is lapping, the sides of the tongue are close to the inner walls of the sub-chamber, thereby precluding some of the water resting on the tongue from falling off the tongue as the water is lifted into the animal's mouth. In this way, the efficiency of drinking using the lapping technique is enhanced. The inventive device may be made with sub-chambers having differing widths to accommodate to animals of different sizes and different tongue widths.

Abstract: A motion activated pet drinking apparatus which attaches to both indoor (i.e., sink) and outdoor water faucets and is activated by the motion of the pet to deliver a measured supply of fresh tap water for the pet's consumption. Upon activation, a fresh stream of tap water is directed in a suitable manner for the pet to drink. An electronic timer in the control circuitry shuts off the flow of water after a specified time, typically one minute. The apparatus does not store water and, therefore, does not collect algae, slime, or water deposits and requires only a minimal amount of cleaning. The absence of water storage minimizes cross-contamination when multiple pets use the apparatus. The apparatus is highly energy efficient due to the unique digital control valve used and can easily be powered from standard off-the-shelf commercial batteries. Household power (120 VAC) can also be used to power the apparatus if a nearby source is available.
