Fountain attachment for a faucet

An improved fountain attachment for a water faucet having a discharge end, comprising:

• a substantially straight tubular body of plastic material with a central axis, an upper end adapted for frictional attachment to the discharge end of a water faucet and a depending lower end with a discharge opening inclined at an angle between thirty and sixty degrees to said axis, said tubular body having a short wall portion with an outside surface and a diametrically opposed long wall portion extending between said upper and lower ends,
• a substantially flat closure member of plastic material having an integral flexible extension connected to the outside surface of said short wall portion, and flexibly attached to said short wall portion, said closure member extending downwardly from the short wall portion when unflexed so as not to impede water discharge, said closure member being substantially elliptical in shape and sufficiently large to enable it to cover said discharge opening when flexed by manually pressing it toward said discharge opening, and
• a fountain outlet comprising a hole defined in the long wall portion for conducting a jet of water for drinking when said closure member is flexed to cover the discharge opening and a semi-tubular flow guiding member of plastic material extending generally upwardly and away from said tubular body and shaped to direct a jet of water upwardly and away from said tubular body when the closure member is flexed to block the flow of water from said discharge opening.
