Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013186507A1] The invention relates to a fixture for fitting next to the basin of a sink. The fixture has a water spout arranged to project over the basin of the sink. The water spout has a water nozzle arranged for connection through the spout to a water supply. The fixture further includes an elongate air-knife discharge outlet for discharging an air-knife onto a user's hand to dry it. This discharge outlet is arranged for connection to an air supply via an air duct, the air duct having a side wall extending between a first end of the duct and a second end of the duct. The first end of the duct is connected to the air supply, the second end of the duct forms -or is connected to -the air-knife discharge outlet. In accordance with the invention, the outlet extends across the second end of the duct, as opposed to being provided in the sidewall of the duct.
