  • Patent number: 5477984
    Abstract: A disinfector accommodates a jetting nozzle and a hand detecting sensor disposed alongside of the jetting nozzle in a main body thereof. The jetting direction of the jetting nozzle coincides with the light emission direction of the hand detecting sensor. The jetting nozzle and the hand detecting sensor can be pivotally moved in unison. A malfunction which may occur due to the difference in the configurations of the bowl of the washstand and the kind of the material thereof can be solved by merely altering the light emission direction of the hand detecting sensor. Because the jetting direction of the jetting nozzle and the light emission direction of the hand detecting sensor are always coincident with each other, a user can use the jetting apparatus conveniently without feeling discomfort.
