Abstract
A plastic fountain attachment for a faucet is either cast or injection molded in a single piece or fabricated from separate parts. A tubular body is adapted for attachment to the discharge end of a water faucet and has a discharge opening inclined to its axis. The body has a short wall portion and a diametrically opposed long wall portion extending between said upper and lower ends. A substantially flat closure member is flexibly attached to the outside surface of the short wall portion. The closure member extends downwardly from said short wall portion when unflexed so as not to impede water discharge. The closure member is sufficiently large and so located to enable it to cover the discharge opening when flexed. A fountain outlet directs a jet of water for drinking when the closure member is flexed to cover the discharge opening, the fountain outlet including a hole defined in the long wall portion of the tubular body.
