Patent number: 10172498Abstract: A lavatory system includes a hand dryer with at least a first proximity sensor and a second proximity sensor to detect an object for drying. A controller is communicatively linked to the first and second proximity sensors. The controller activates a drying operation after a first delay period if the first proximity sensor first detects the object for drying and activates a drying operation after a second delay period if the second proximity sensor first detects the object for drying. A filter flow sensor may also be provided to ensure proper filtering of the dryer's air.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2015Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Bradley Fixtures CorporationInventors: Graeme S.

Patent number: 10100501Abstract: A multi-purpose hand washing station is disclosed that includes a hand dryer attached to a basin. The hand dryer includes a top air plenum and a bottom air plenum. A grid molded into each air plenum provides structural support to the plenums. Both the top and bottom air plenums include a plurality of air outlets that direct pressurized air from a blower for hand drying. An air hose that supplies pressurized air to the bottom air plenum includes a water trap that prevents water from flowing into the air outlets, down the air hose, and to the blower. A soap dispenser mounted on the basin dispenses liquefied soap for hand washing and is refillable by opening a lid on the soap dispenser and pouring liquefied soap into a funnel insert where it travels through a fill port into a reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Bradley Fixtures CorporationInventors: Mark A. Figurski, Michelle L. Rundberg, John M. Loberger, Terry Lee McCallum, Dale William Gallmann, Jason M. Renner, Jeffery S. Jaworski, Theodore E. Dhein
