  • Patent number: 11083340
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a multi-function lavatory fixture are disclosed. The lavatory fixture includes a first and second leg, where a first end of each leg is configured to be mounted to a deck and a second end of each leg is located over a basin of the lavatory fixture. A connecting section extends between the second ends of each leg and includes outlets to dispense water and soap to wash a user's hands. The fixture also includes indicators located proximate each of the outlets to indicate to the user the location of each outlet. A sensor located near each outlet identifies the presence of a user's hands near the outlet and dispenses water and soap, accordingly. A controller within the lavatory fixture receives inputs from each sensor and activates the appropriate pump or valve to deliver the desired product at the appropriate outlet.

  • Patent number: 11015329
    Abstract: A lavatory drain system is disclosed. The basin, containing a U-shaped drain channel, employs one of two draining embodiments. In the first, a drain plate divides the drain channel into two chambers, allowing for fluid communication between them through openings in the drain plate. In another embodiment, the drain channel forms the upper chamber while a pipe disposed below the channel serves as a lower chamber for fluid to flow to the drain. Further, the drain cap of the claimed system is configured to direct air about the basin. One embodiment utilizes a ridge protruding over one of the basin's sides to captures air and directs it to a return duct. In the other embodiment, a series of louvres located in an opening are used to filter water and debris from the air before it returns to the fan.
