An automatic valve assembly for a water cooler having a reservoir of the type that has its upper end generally sealed to the atmosphere by a water bottle adapter that receives and supports an inverted water bottle. The valve assembly comprises a ventilation passageway providing a means for air to enter the reservoir, and an actuator arm hingedly mounted within the interior of the water cooler. The actuator arm is operable to move between an open and a closed position in response to changing water levels within the reservoir. When in its open position the actuator arm allows the unrestricted passage of air into the reservoir through the ventilation passageway. When in its closed position the actuator arm restricts the flow of air and fluids through the ventilation passageway.

Ensemble de soupape automatique pour réservoir de rafraîchisseur d'eau potable, ayant un réservoir dont l'extrémité supérieure est généralement étanche à l'atmosphère par un adaptateur de bouteille d'eau qui reçoit et supporte une bouteille d'eau inversée. L'ensemble de soupape comprend une voie de passage de ventilation par lequel l'air entre dans le réservoir et un bras d'actionneur monté de manière articulée à l'intérieur du rafraîchisseur d'eau potable. Le bras d'actionneur est apte à passer d'une position ouverte à une position fermée en réponse aux niveaux d'eau changeants à l'intérieur du réservoir. En position ouverte, le bras d'actionneur permet le passage libre de l'air vers le réservoir à travers la voie de passage de ventilation. En position fermée, le bras d'actionneur restreint le passage de l'air et des fluides à travers la voie de passage de ventilation.
