Abstract
The present invention relates to an enclosure housing a fluid container having a retractable drip tray slidably mounted therein whereas when a cup or glass is pushed against the front of the drip tray, the drip tray retracts into the housing, compressing the V-spring, allowing filling from the fluid container spout. When the cup or glass is removed, the V-spring is relaxed, extending the drip tray outwardly to catch any drips from the fluid container spout.
