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.
