A hand hygiene on board of a vehicle includes a washing device including a water supply device, a basin device with a hand receiving device and a water collecting region with a discharge opening, and a drying device including an air discharge device for generating an air stream in the hand receiving region The air discharge device is connected to the hand receiving region and a negative pressure device connected to the air discharge device. The stream of air for the hand drying process is generatable by the negative pressure device. The air discharge device is connected to the discharge opening of the basin device such that air and fluids are discharged via the discharge opening, which forms a common disposal opening. The negative pressure device is additionally designed for suctioning solids thrown into the water collecting region, besides fluids, for disposal over the common disposal opening.

An electronic soap dispenser includes an upper dispensing head supported above a sink deck, and a liquid soap reservoir and a pump assembly supported below the sink deck. A capacitive sensor is operably coupled to the dispensing head. A controller is in electrical communication with the capacitive sensor and activates the pump assembly in response to input from the capacitive sensor.

A hand-washing monitor and hand washing monitoring system are provided. The hand-washing monitoring system includes a motion detector mounted near, to or in a sink and configured to detect a scrubbing motion near a location of an outlet of a sink faucet. Both the hand-washing monitor and the hand-washing monitoring system include a processor coupled to the motion detector and a memory coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to monitor the motion detector for signals indicative of the scrubbing motion that is continuous during a predetermined scrubbing interval and to provide signal indicating a successful scrubbing operation when the scrubbing motion is continuously detected during the entire interval. The hand-washing monitor includes a housing containing the processor, the motion detector, the memory and proximity sensors for detecting the application of soap.

An arrangement comprises a sink and a sink fixture. The fixture has a water spout arranged to project over the basin of the sink, the water spout having a water nozzle arranged for connection through the spout to a water supply. The fixture also incorporates an elongate air-knife discharge outlet connected to an air supply for discharging an air-knife onto a user's hand. The air-knife discharge outlet is angled downwards so that the air-knife is directed down into the basin of the sink.

Apparatus for washing and drying hands including a generally horizontal chamber having a defining wall, a central axis, an open end with an inwardly curved peripheral lip, a closed end, a top micro-spray nozzle arranged in the wall above the central axis, two side micro-spray nozzles arranged in the wall on opposed sides of the central axis, an air inlet arranged in the wall above the central axis, an air outlet arranged in the wall below the central axis, and two side air ducts exteriorly surrounding the wall to connect the air inlet to the air outlet, wherein in use liquid is sprayed from the top and side micro-spray nozzles to collectively establish a liquid curtain of micro-sprays across the central axis of the chamber, and air circulates within the chamber and recirculates around the chamber from the air outlet to the air inlet.

The invention provides a bathroom fixture in the form of an electronic mirror with a touchlessly operated fluid dispenser. The device provides visual cues to assist in the touchless operation thereof.

A basin and hand drying system includes a hand dryer attached to a basin. The hand dryer includes a top air plenum and a bottom air plenum. The air plenums include a plurality of air outlets that direct pressurized air from a blower motor for hand drying. A soap dispenser and faucet mount on the basin for dispensing liquefied soap and water for hand washing.

Described herein is a fluid dispensing system, a system for processing waste material and a fluid monitoring system and a method of monitoring the quality of a fluid. One embodiment provides a fluid dispensing system (1) including a fluid dispenser (3) in fluid communication with at least one source of a first fluid. An identification device identifies a user of the system and generates a user identifier. A processor (19) is responsive to the user identifier to access a database (27) to retrieve user data indicative of one or more user preferences and, in response, generate a control signal. One or more electrical sensors (25) are configured to sense a gesture motion from the user and, in response, generate a local input signal. An actuator system (29) is responsive to the control signal and the local input signal to dispense the first fluid from the fluid dispenser with predefined characteristics.

A sanitary equipment with a water supply system, a water route system, and a hand washing table are provided. The sanitary equipment includes a machine having a machine water outlet; a movable hand washing table pivoted on the machine and located below the machine water outlet, the movable hand washing table being capable of opening or retracting with respect to the machine; and a water route system disposed in the machine and connected to the machine water outlet to discharge potable water and non-potable water from the machine water outlet.

The disclosed technology includes a system for sanitizing a user's hands or other objects using atomized water. The system can include a heating element for heating air, a blower for directing the heated air toward a user's hands or other objects, and one or more reservoirs for holding fluids, such as water and a sanitizing agent. The system can include an atomizing device for atomizing at least some of the fluid. The system can include a controller for controlling the various components of the system.
