The present disclosure provides an apparatus for automatically dispensing air, for example, for hand drying, through either a dedicated air only spout (side mount embodiment) or through a multi-use spout configured for dispensing water, soap and/or air. The air drying module, which is typically positioned below a counter, can be modified according to the system needs to operate with hot and/or cold air and to optionally include a filter and/or fragrance dispenser.

An arrangement incorporates a sink and a hand dryer which extends over the sink. The hand dryer is of the type which uses an air-knife mechanically to wipe the water from the user's hands. The hand dryer comprising two elongate air-knife discharge outletseach outlet discharging a respective air-knife forwardly onto a hand of the userthe air-knife outlets being arranged side-by-side over the basin of the sink. Each air-knife outlet extends along a part of the hand dryer which is swept back at an angle such that the inboard end the air-knife outlet is in front of the outboard end of the air-knife outlet.

The invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning hands. The subject method provides the use of nebulised water for cleaning operations, which nebulised water is directed by command onto the hands to be cleaned. The subject device comprises a case (1), which defines an environment in which the hands to be cleaned are inserted, which environment is provided with a plurality of nebuliser nozzles (3a) introducing nebulised water into the case (1) by command, which water is sent to the nozzles by means of a pumping device (3).

A system for dispensing or and/or creating a mixture of water and a personal care liquid (PC), such, as soap, shampoo, antibacterial liquids, disinfectant liquids, liquid dishwashing detergents, or other sanitization fluids. The system, in one embodiment, is used in conjunction with a faucet that is mounted adjacent a washbasin to dispense the mixture. In an embodiment, a mixing unit is included in the system that comprises a venturi and a pressure compensating control device. In another embodiment, a pinch valve is utilized to control the introduction of the PCL into the water flow. In yet another embodiment, at least one water pressure actuatable valve is utilized to control the introduction of the PCL into the water flow.

A combined washing/drying station for a washroom comprising a water outlet for discharging water to wash a user's hands connected to a mains water supply and an air outlet for discharging airflow to dry a user's hands. The airflow is generated by a blower module connected to a mains electricity supply via a connector unit hard-wired to the electrical mains. The blower module comprises an electrical connector which connects to an electrical connector on the connector unit to allow modular replacement of the blower module. Connection to the mains water supply is via the same or an additional connector unit plumbed into the water mains. A flow-control valve is provided on the respective connector unit for isolating the water mains at the connector unit. An inlet port of the valve is connected to the water mains and an outlet port of the valve is connected to the water outlet.

A hand cleaning system comprising a hand cleaning fluid dispenser configured to dispense an output fluid onto a hand of a user, and a fluid adjustor. The fluid adjustor is configured to automatically adjust a composition of the output fluid. The composition may be selected based on various considerations, such as: the health status of the user; the pH of the hand; the identity of the user; the history of the user; the schedule of the user; the predicted likelihood that the user has an infection; microbes detected on the hand; the moisture level of the hand; the concentration of one or more chemicals on the hand; an allergy profile of the user; and a chemical sensitivity profile of the user.

A sink unit for an aircraft, wherein the sink unit comprises: a substantially horizontal countertop; and a sink extending downwards from the countertop; wherein the sink comprises an interior volume defined by at least one side of the sink; and wherein the sink comprises: a first aperture configured to dispense water into the interior volume of the sink; a second aperture configured to dispense heated air into the interior volume of the sink; and a UV light source configured to irradiate the interior volume of the sink with UV light; wherein the first aperture, the second aperture and the UV light source are located below the countertop on the at least one side of the sink.

A hand and foot sink apparatus, comprising a housing having a top end and an opposing bottom end, the housing including a hand sink disposed at the top end of the housing and including a basin, a faucet, and a drain, and a foot sink disposed within a first opening along a side portion of the housing below the hand sink. The foot sink is partially enclosed within the housing and includes a basin, a plurality of sprayers, and a footrest. The housing includes one or more nozzles configured to dispense soap, and one or more supply holders configured to store one or more containers of soap, the one more containers of soap being connected to the one or more nozzles through conduits. One or more controls of the housing are configured to operate the one or more nozzles.

The present invention discloses an arch or bridge like faucet with a non-cantilevered, elongated body that extends across and spans over, above a basin. The body having a first end that is fixed to a first part of a structure, and a second end that is fixed to a second part of the structure. Further included is a faucet spout that is located underneath the body, above the basin.
