Abstract

1,181,630. Proximity actuated control system. AMERICAN STANDARD Inc. Sept. 10, 1968 [Sept. 18, 1967], No.42907/68. Heading G1N. A proximity control for water supply to a wash basin comprises a first capacitative detector responsive to the proximity of hands in the basin which causes the water to be switched on and the sensor-circuit connected to a second detector responsive to the proximity of the user to the front of the basin (whereby the system is not "fooled" by the flow of water from the spout into the basin, or by passing bodies). As shown, Fig. 2, a "response" by faucet antenna 11 causes proximity sensing-circuit 16 to energize relay 40 controlling the water supply solenoid valve, and to apply a signal via transformer 36 to trigger-pair 52, 53 whereby relay 20 is de-energized and relay 30 is energized to connect the front antenna 21 to the sensing circuit.
