ABSTRACT:
An electronically operated assembly to be used in conjunction with water faucets is provided with a sensor that senses the presence of objects such as human hands and automatically starts the flow of water. The water flow automatically stops when the object is removed from the faucet vicinity. An electronically automated assembly for water faucets comprises a water flow control valve and a small size electric motor adapted to operate the water flow control valve via a transmission gear and an infrared sensing device connected to a source of electric power adapted to activate or disconnect the electric motor.
