Water run-out fitting
First Claim
1. A water faucet fixture comprisinga first mixing and shut-off unit;
- a hot-water line connected to the mixing and shut-off unit and opening into the mixing and shut-off unit;
a cold-water line connected to the mixing and shut-off unit opening into the mixing and shut-off unit;
a spout attached to the mixing and shut-off unit;
a lever attached to the mixing and shut-off unit for a manual control of a water flow, wherein water is supplied at a certain mixed temperature and flow volume to the spout by means of the mixing and shut-off unit;
a feed line bypassing the mixing and shut-off unit, and allowing a supply of water from the cold-water line into the spout;
an electrically actuatable valve disposed in the feed line for shutting off the feed line;
means for adjusting the electrically actuatable valve connected to the electrically actuatable valve;
a second mixing and shut-off unit disposed in the feed line and disposed upstream from the electrically actuatable valve, and connected to the cold-water line and connected to the hot-water line.

Abstract
The invention relates to a water faucet fixture (1, 1'"'"', 1"), especially for institutional kitchens and medical establishments, whereby a hot water line and a cold water line (3, 4) open into a mixing and shut-off unit (2) with a lever for manual control, by means of which water is supplied at a certain mixed temperature and flow volume to a spout (6), whereby the water faucet fixture (1, 1'"'"', 1") comprises another feed line (5) which, while bypassing the mixing and the shut-off unit (2), allows the supply of water from at least the cold water line (3) into the spout (6). This feed line (5) can be shut off by means of an electrically actuatable valve (9) that is controlled by the sensor signal of a proximity sensor (7, 7'"'"', 7"). The proximity sensor (7, 7'"'"', 7") is located in the upper area of the fixture in such a manner that movements that serve to operate the fixture manually do not fall within its detection range (20, 20'"'"', 20"). This makes it possible to operate the fixture contact-free as well as manually. Advantageously, the fixture comprises two additional sensors (15, 16) that serve to regulate the temperature contact-free.

- 12. A water faucet fixture (1, 1'"'"', 1") comprising a mixing and shut-off unit (2) with a lever (13) for manual control of a water flow, whereby a hot water line and a cold water line (3, 4) open into the mixing and shut-off unit (2) by means of which water is supplied at a certain mixed temperature and flow volume to a spout (6), and the water faucet fixture (1) comprises another feed line (5) which, while bypassing the mixing and the shut-off unit (2), allows a supply of water from the cold water line (3) into the spout (6), whereby the feed line (5) can be shut off by means of an electrically actuatable valve (9), wherein, the electrically actuatable valve (9) is controlled by a sensor signal of a proximity sensor (7) that is capable of detecting an object brought into its detection range and wherein there is another mixing unit (8) upstream from the electrically actuatable valve (9), whereby a hot-cold mixing ratio is either manually adjustable by means of a regulator located externally in an area of the water faucet fixture (1, 1'"'"', 1") or else it can be regulated contact-free by means of two proximity sensors (15, 16) located externally in the area of the water faucet fixture (1, 1'"'"', 1").
