Claim:
A glass filler for connection to a source of drinking water, comprising: a main body defining an upper surface and a lower surface disposed opposite the upper surface, said main body further defining a rear surface extending generally between said upper surface and said lower surface; an inlet defined through one of said the lower surface and said rear surface of the main body; an outlet defined through the lower surface of the main body; an inlet valve disposed within the main body and between the inlet and outlet, the inlet valve defining an actuator button that is biased to project outwardly from within the main body; an inlet passage connecting the inlet into fluid communication with the inlet valve; an elongated arm having one end pivotally connected to the lower surface of the main body and disposed between the actuator button and the outlet; an outlet passage having a first end connected into fluid communication with the inlet valve and a second end disposed opposite to said first end; an outlet chamber having a free end defined by said outlet, the outlet chamber having an interior end connected into fluid communication with the second end of said outlet passage; an outlet valve disposed in said outlet chamber and including an outlet valve housing defining on one free end thereof a castellated edge portion defining at least a first opening disposed in communication with said outlet chamber, said outlet valve including a cylindrical sleeve defining through a first end thereof at least a second opening, said cylindrical sleeve being disposed in said outlet valve housing with said first end disposed against said castellated edge portion of said outlet valve housing, said cylindrical sleeve defining an exit of said outlet valve, said exit of said cylindrical sleeve being disposed axially apart from said first end of said cylindrical sleeve, said cylindrical sleeve being configured to be selectively rotatable relative to said outlet valve housing, wherein rotation of said cylindrical sleeve effects a change in the degree of flow permitted through said exit of said outlet valve.
