Title:
温水用器具のための色液体流を発生する方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007538180
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The object of the invention is to give a coloured, temperature-dependent appearance to the water flowing out of a hot-water fitting. For that purpose, three temperature ranges are formed and a colour is associated with each of the temperature ranges. The three ranges correspond to too cold, too hot and desired temperature ranges. A lever ( 4 ) is actuated to cause a water jet ( 20 ) to flow out of the fitting. Depending on the position of the lever ( 4 ), only cold water, only hot water or mixed proportions of cold and hot water flow into the mixing chamber ( 7 ). Depending on the temperature measured in the mixing chamber ( 7 ), a control block ( 13 ) drives diodes ( 17 ) arranged at the outlet of the hot-water fitting and having a colour which corresponds to the temperature range in question, causing the diodes to emit light. The water jet ( 20 ) flowing past the diodes ( 17 ) is illuminated with said colour. The user of the fitting can recognise the water temperature from the coloured appearance of the water jet ( 20 ) and if necessary correct it by actuating the lever ( 4 ).
