Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A fluid delivery apparatus includes a spout (12) located adjacent a sink basin (16). A fluid supply conduit (14) is supported by the spout (12). Capacitive sensors (29) and (41) are provided on the spout (12) and sink basin (16), respectively. A controller (26) is coupled to the capacitive sensors (29, 41) to control the amount of fluid supplied to the fluid supply conduit (14) based on outputs from the capacitive sensors (29, 41). L'invention concerne un appareil de distribution de fluide qui comprend un bec 12 situé près d'un lavabo 16. Une conduite d'alimentation en fluide 14 est supportée par le bec 12. Des capteurs capacitifs 29 et 41 sont disposés sur le bec 12 et le lavabo 16 respectivement. Un dispositif de commande 26 est couplé au capteur capacitif 29, 41 pour réguler la quantité de fluide fournie à la conduite d'alimentation en fluide 14 en fonction des sorties des capteurs capacitifs 29, 41.
