【従来の技術】
動物用給水具としては、特許文献１、或いは特許文献２に記載されたものがある。
ここで、特許文献１に記載された動物用給水具は、特許文献１の図２にその全体が示されているように、貯水壜２の下端に連通する状態で取付けられた給水管６の先端部に、１個或いは２個の球弁１３が配設された構造のもので、ハムスター等の小動物が、前記給水管６の先端から一部突出している球弁１３をつつくことにより弁を開放し、水を呑む構造のものである。

【考案が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、先ず上記特許文献１に記載された動物用給水具は、構造が単純で製作コストを低減できるものではあるが、球弁１３の周囲から水が滲み出し易く、動物が球弁１３を操作しない場合においても、球弁１３部分から水が点滴状態で落下する憂いが高い構造のものであった。
【０００６】
また、上記特許文献２に記載された動物用給水具にあっては、２重、３重の弁構造８，１２，１４と成っているため、水が漏れ出る憂いが少ない構造のものではあるが、水飲口１のハウジング２内に直径の異なる三つの連続的部分５，６，７を形成する作業、及び弁座１３，１５等を形成する作業は、煩雑な精度を要求される作業となり、製作コストが嵩むと言う課題があった。
【０００７】
本考案は、上述した従来の技術が有する課題に鑑み成されたものであって、その目的は、簡易な構造で製作が容易であると共に、漏水の生じ難い動物用給水具を提供することにある。

【００１０】
ここで、上記本考案において、上記止水部材を上記操作杆の外周にその弾性によって装着されたＯリングとすることができ、この場合には、効率的に貫通孔からの水の流出を阻止する止水部材と成ると共に、該止水部材の取付け及び取外しが容易な動物用給水具となる。

【００１２】
更に、上記本考案において、上記貫通孔の長さを上記操作杆の直径の５倍以上のものとすることができ、この場合には、貫通孔内において操作杆が左右にブレ難く、また水の流通路が細く長いものとなるために毛細管作用による水の保持も期待でき、より漏水の生じ難い動物用給水具となる。
【００１３】
また、上記本考案において、上記操作杆の下端に上記貫通孔の直径より最大外形が大きい操作部を設けても良く、この場合には、動物による操作がし易い給水具と成ると共に、操作杆が動物によって押されて貫通孔内に入り込んでしまうことが無い動物用給水具となる。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, although the water supply device for animals described in Patent Document 1 has a simple structure and can reduce the manufacturing cost, water easily seeps out from around the ball valve 13 and the animal operates the ball valve 13. Even when it was not performed, the structure was highly worried that water would drop from the ball valve 13 in a drip state.
[0006]
Further, the water supply device for animals described in Patent Document 2 has a double, triple valve structure 8, 12, and 14, so that there is little fear that water leaks. However, the operation of forming three continuous portions 5, 6, 7 having different diameters in the housing 2 of the water drinking port 1 and the operation of forming the valve seats 13, 15 and the like are operations requiring complicated precision. Thus, there is a problem that the production cost increases.
