Abstract
A rinsing lavatory includes a basin, at least one tube, and at least one valve. The basin includes at least a first side and a second side. The at least one tube connects a water supply to a first plurality of nozzles on the first side of the basin and a second plurality of nozzles on a second side of the basin. The at least one valve is configured to open the first plurality of nozzles or the second plurality of nozzles to provide rinsing water to the first side of the basin or the second side of the basin in response to an input signal.
Claims18
A rinsing lavatory comprising:
- a basin having at least a first side and a second side;
- at least one tube connecting a water supply to a first plurality of nozzles on the first side of the basin and a second plurality of nozzles on a second side of the basin;
- a water treatment device between the water supply and the at least one tube;
- at least one valve configured to open the first plurality of nozzles or the second plurality of nozzles to provide rinsing water to the first side of the basin or the second side of the basin from the water treatment device through the at least one tube in response to an input signal;
- and
- a motor configured to drive a shuttle associated with the at least one tube and configured to open the at least one valve in a sequence for a sweeping motion of the rinsing water.
A rinsing lavatory comprising:
- a basin;
- at least one tube connecting a water supply to a plurality of nozzles;
- a water treatment device between the water supply and the at least one tube;
- and
- a motor configured to drive a shuttle associated with the at least one tube and configured to open at least one valve in a sequence for a sweeping motion of water.
A method for rinsing a lavatory, the method comprising:
- receiving an input signal for initiation of a rinse cycle;
- generating a treatment instruction for a treatment device;
- generating an actuation instruction for a motor configured to drive a shuttle and configured to open at least one valve;
- and
- providing, to the lavatory, water treated by the treatment device in a pattern formed by the motor and the shuttle.
