Abstract

The present invention relates to a washing table with a liquid or water outlet apparatus having a supply line with an electrically operated valve, such as a solenoid valve, controlled by a relay having a control circuit. The circuit includes a pressure-sensitive switch means operated through a fluidcontaining control tube line, a pressure-applying trigger means and a diaphragm to permit facile control of the valve.

Claims

1. A liquid outlet apparatus comprising a supply line, an outlet line communicating with said supply line, a valve between said supply and outlet lines including electrical switch means for opening and closing said valve, means for controlling said electrical switch means including a pressure wave switch communicating through a fluid conduit with a pressure trigger means, and a relay means actuated by said pressure wave switch for controlling said electrical switch means, said relay means remaining in said actuated state after said pressure wave has subsided.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 having a plurality of supply lines, a valve between each supply line and said outlet line, switch means for independently operating each valve, and means for independently controlling each of said electrical switch means, each control means including a pressure switch communicating through a fluid conduit with a pressure trigger means, and an electrical relay means activated by said pressure wave switch for controlling said electrical switch means.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said pressure wave switches comprise an electrical contact means, and a diaphragm positioned adjacent said contact means, said associated fluid conduit having one end communicating with said diaphragm.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said relay means is a bistable relay.

5. The apparatus according to claim 4 further comprising a nozzle assembly which includes pressure trigger means for applying pressure to move said diaphragm and mixer means for mixing a plurality of fluids.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 in which each of a plurality of supply lines discharges into a mixer means and in which the outlet line communicates with said mixer means.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 in which the mixer means is located at the discharge end of said outlet line, said mixer means having control means for controlling the operation of said mixer means.

8. The apparatus of claim 4 in which at least a portion of said fluid conduit for transmitting pressure to the diaphragm is arranged with said outlet line in a common jacket tube.

9. The apparatus according to claim 4 having in addition said fluid conduit and said outlet line cast in synthetic resin in a housing.

10. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said relay means comprises a timed relay.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 further comprising a nozzle assembly which includes pressure trigger means for applying pressure to move said diaphragm and mixer means for mixing a plurality of fluids.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 in which each of a plurality of supply lines discharges into a mixer means and in which the outlet line communicates with said mixer means.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 in which the mixer means is located at the discharge end of said outlet line, said mixer means having control means for controlling the operation of said mixer means.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 in which at least a portion of said fluid conduit for transmitting pressure to the diaphragm is arranged with said outlet line in a common jacket tube.

15. The apparatus according to claim 10 having in addition said fluid conduit and said outlet line cast in synthetic resin in a housing.
