Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9002989A1] An automatic service water tap (1) is disclosed in which a battery operated motor (104) is provided for controlling a water supply valve (100) in response to the presence or absence of an object positioned within range of an infrared generating and detecting system (5) mounted in the tap (1). The valve (100) operates using only a small amount of electric power under the control of a circuit (9) which draws no electric power once the valve (100) is moved to its opened or closed condition. Thus, the consumption of the electric power is minimized to almost zero and the valve (100) can be utilized for a long period of time only with a small single battery (9).
