Abstract
A water glass filler allows single-handed operation for either flow-on-demand or continuous flow operation. Manual actuation of a control button, using the same hand which concurrently holds the glass against a swing arm, changes on-demand flow into continuous flow. Continuous flow terminates on further actuation and release of the swing arm. Actuation of the control button drives a spring-loaded latch into a socket in the swing arm, and the water valve spring maintains this condition until the control button latch is released.
