  • Publication number: 20210164203
    Abstract: The invention includes an assembly comprising a foot or lower body actuated contactless sensor and flow valve assembly for remotely controlling the flow of fluid in faucets and showers and the assembly includes a contactless sensor to trigger at least one electromechanical (solenoid) valve to turn on and off the flow as desired by the user. The actuation logic includes a trigger such as motion or interruption of wireless signal by the foot or the leg from one position to the second position. The idle/off condition is disrupted by the pre-determined triggering action. In another embodiment an infrared signal emitting sensor is embedded in to the floor mat and the infrared signal is emitted upward. A human foot over the sensor triggers the solenoid valve to open and removal of the foot over the sensor or after elapsing of a fixed time, the solenoid valve is closed.

  • Publication number: 20200109542
    Abstract: The invention includes a controller-mechanical assembly for a shower head and the electromechanical valve actuated by a contactless sensor in response to momentarily waving of the hand momentarily raised above the head of the user. The assembly for remotely controlling the flow of fluid in showers includes a contactless sensor to actuate at least one electromechanical valve to turn on and off the flow as desired by the user. The actuation logic includes stimuli such as motion or interruption of wireless signal by a raised hand. The valve assembly includes a manually operated bypass valve to override the electromechanical valve, in case the electrical system malfunctions or power supply is down. In another embodiment, the controller-mechanical assembly and the shower head are integrally made for compactness and both have a common wall between them and has water passage in the wall connecting each other.
