Abstract
An actuating means (25) for an animal drinker, the actuating means configured in such a way that the valve pin (14) is liftable by the actuating means (25) in order to open the drinking valve (12), preferably on a rectilinear longitudinal center axis (19) of the valve pin (14). In this way, one-sided wearing down of the drinking valve (12), in particular of the valve pin (14) and/or of a sealing surface (17) of the housing (13), is avoided. As a result, the useful life of the drinking valve (12) is extended.
