An ultraviolet light-emitting faucet includes an inlet assembly, an outlet assembly, an operation assembly, a water-proof light-emitting module and a light guide. The operation assembly includes a conduit for connecting an inlet channel of the inlet assembly to an outlet channel of the outlet assembly. The conduit includes a cave, an optical channel, and an operation chamber including a first open end in communication with the cave and a second open end in communication with the optical channel. The water-proof light-emitting module is located in the cave and operable to cast ultraviolet light and visible light into the operation chamber through the first open end of the operation chamber. The visible light further goes into the optical channel through the second open end of the operation chamber. The light guide is supported on the operation assembly and operable to guide the visible light out of the optical channel.

A faucet that includes a housing, a first valve, a handle body, a handle, and a second valve. The first valve is disposed at least in part within the housing and controls one of a flow rate and a temperature. The handle body has an elongated base, which extends from the housing along a longitudinal axis and is operatively coupled to the first valve, such that rotation of handle body about the longitudinal axis relative to the housing controls the first valve. The handle extends from the base along a radial axis relative to the longitudinal axis. The second valve is disposed at least in part within the handle and controls the other of the flow rate and the temperature, the second valve operatively couples the handle to the base, such that rotation of the handle about the radial axis relative to the handle body controls the second valve.

A sanitary fitting having a fitting housing, a mixing valve for mixing cold water and hot water to produce mixed water, a setting element for setting a mixed water temperature of the mixed water, the setting element being adjustable along a surface of the fitting housing, and a mixed water channel through which the mixed water can be conveyed from the mixing valve to a valve, it being possible to set a removal volume of the mixed water via said valve.

To provide a sanitary facility member having excellent ease of contamination removal and excellent persistence of ease of contamination removal. A sanitary facility member including: a base material, at least the surface of which includes a metal element; a metal oxide layer formed on the surface of the base material; and an organic layer provided on the metal oxide layer; wherein the metal element is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Cr, Zr, and Ti, the metal oxide layer includes at least the metal element and an oxygen element, and the organic layer is bonded to the metal oxide layer by bonding (M-O—P bonding) of the metal element (M) and a phosphorus atom (P) of at least one group (X) selected from a phosphonic acid group, a phosphoric acid group, and a phosphinic acid group via an oxygen atom (O), the group X being bonded to a group R (where R is a hydrocarbon or a group having an atom other than carbon in 1 or 2 locations in a hydrocarbon group).

The invention relates to a method and an assembly for controlling the discharge of a liquid from a fitting (10), wherein the liquid discharge can be shut off by means of a shut-off valve (12) which is actuatable via a codable electric control unit (14) when the temperature of the liquid would cause a hazard.

A temperature-regulating double-control automatic faucet includes a faucet body, a single-handle double-control mixed water valve core having a lever, a solenoid valve, a water pipe assembly, a controller, a magnetic induction device, and a proximity sensor. The single-handle double-control mixed water valve core is installed in the faucet body cylinder. The magnetic induction device is configured to detect a position change of the lever. The proximity sensor is configured to sense a manual operation. The automatic faucet has a manual control mode and a sensing control mode for use, which can be used conveniently.

A faucet structure includes a valve base, an outlet hose, two input hoses, a bottom panel, a housing, a panel cover and a handle. A valve chamber is on the valve base, and a connecting tube protrudes from a supporting leg extending from a bottom of the valve chamber, which has first engaging openings at a bottom end thereof for engaging with rings grooves on the input hoses via a locking panel. Two second engaging openings are on the connecting tube for engaging with a groove on the outlet hose via a U-shaped clasp. The housing has grooves that slidingly engage the panel cover.

A faucet is provided that electronically controls the flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a faucet body and a faucet handle. The faucet illustratively includes an inertial motion unit sensor mounted in the faucet handle to sense spatial orientation of the faucet handle. The faucet illustratively includes an electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed. The faucet illustratively includes a controller configured to receive signals from the inertial motion unit sensor and control the electronic flow control system to adjust flow volume and temperature of water being dispensed based upon the position of the faucet handle.

Disclosed are faucet control device and method. A faucet control device capable of automatic temperature control comprises: a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor installed in a hot water pipe and a cold water pipe to measure the pressures of hot water and cold water, respectively; a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor installed in the hot water pipe and the cold water pipe to measure the temperatures of the hot water and the cold water, respectively; a heating member disposed between the hot water pipe and a faucet; a rotation sensor for measuring at least one of a horizontal rotation angle and a vertical rotation angle when an operation of a faucet knob terminates; a first electronic valve and a second electronic valve installed on discharge ports of the hot water and the cold water, respectively; and a controller for determining a stop position of the faucet knob by using at least one of the horizontal rotation angle and the vertical rotation angle and controlling whether to operate the heating member and the opening degrees of the first electronic valve and the second electronic valve according to the determined stop position of the faucet knob by using the pressures of the hot water and the cold water and the temperatures of the hot water and the cold water.

A water mixer with mixer cartridge (40) with control element (42) and lever handle (31) operable from left to right to control the ratio water flow from respective hot and cold intakes to a single outlet (18), and about a transverse axis to control rate of flow. A mixer body (20) defines a post (22) and a protruding outlet arm (24) at its end. The body defines, at the aforesaid end of the post and extending into the arm, a rim (25) about a recess (26) that receives part of the lever handle in a central off position thereof. In another aspect, lever handle (31) is pivotally mounted to support (50, 150) at a first pivot (52,54) that is fixed against translation and to the control element of the cartridge at a second pivot (48) that is slidable in a slot (39).
