Abstract
A table top fountain (10, 60, 70, 80) is disclosed which provides for discharge of water in a fountain-like effect to spray on a series of rocks mounted within a container (12). An electric pump (34) is mounted in the interior of the container (12). A power cord (38) extends from the pump through a passage (32) in an upwardly extending column (28) extending upward from the bottom (14) of the container. A seal plug (40) sealingly engages the power cord (38) and is sealed to the column (28) to prevent water from leaking through the passage. With the power cord exiting the bottom of the fountain, a neater appearance is provided for the fountain.
