Fountain for edible fluids

Abstract

A fountain for edible fluids includes a bowl and an open tubular column extending substantially normally of the bowl from a fluid intake position near the bottom of the bowl to a fluid outlet position remote therefrom. The tubular column contains an auger or other drive to drive edible fluids up through the tubular column. The tubular column has on its exterior a plurality of lugs spaced apart at intervals along the length thereof and the fountain further comprises a plurality of mounting members that mount onto the tubular column, each mounting member mounting onto a lug at a different respective position along the tubular column. Each mounting member serves to supportively mount a respective tier of the fountain thereon. This system is easy to assemble and disassemble, there are no loose fixings and the column may be made of uniform diameter and the tiers of simple form.
