A waterer including a drink well with an upper stop which engages and limits the upward movement of a buoyant closure. Projections are provided extending down from the stop or extending out from the closure to space portions of the closure a predetermined distance from the stop. This spacing allows water falling from thedrinking animal's mouth to pass back into the drink well. This minimizes the amount of water at the juncture of the closure and the stop, and therefore minimizes the problem of the closure freezing in the closed position. Also, since portions of the closure are maintained adjacent to the stop, cold air contact with the water supply and loss of heat energy to the atmosphere are minimized.

Abreuvoir comprenant un bassin muni d'une butée supérieure qui arrête le mouvement ascendant d'un dispositif de fermeture flottant. Des éléments en saillie orientés vers le bas à partir de la butée ou projetés à partir du dispositif d'arrêt servent à maintenir des parties du dispositif d'arrêt à une distance préétablie de la butée. Cette distance permet à l'eau s'écoulant de la bouche d'un animal en train de boire de retourner dans le bassin de l'abreuvoir, ce qui réduit la quantité d'eau se trouvant à la jonction du dispositif de fermeture et de la butée, réduisant ainsi les risques que le dispositif de fermeture gèle en position fermée. Étant donné que des parties du dispositif de fermeture sont maintenues près de la butée, l'air froid qui entre en contact avec la source d'approvisionnement en eau et la perte de chaleur dans l'atmosphère sont réduits.
