Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0588281A1] Disclosed is a hygienic apparatus for a bathroom, which is comprised of human body detecting device (7) including light emitting device (11) adapted to emit an optical signal toward a human body, and first light receiving device (12) adapted to receive the optical signal reflected from the human body, thereby detecting where a human body is, second light receiving device (14) adapted to receive other optical signals emitted by a remote controller (8) disposed on a wall of a bathroom, and a body (2) including a window (W), the window adapted to incorporate the human body detecting device and the second light receiving device therein. In the hygienic apparatus, the window is shared by the human body detecting device and the second light receiving device. Hence, the assembly operation of the hygienic apparatus can be simplified as a whole, thereby enabling to reduce the manufacturing cost. In addition, the hygienic apparatus can be improved in the appearance as well. <IMAGE>
