Patent ID: 8118240

Claim:
A water delivery device in fluid communication with at least one source of water positioned below a mounting deck, the water delivery device comprising: a base portion in fluid communication with the at least one source of water; a pull-out wand portion in fluid communication with the base portion and having at least one water output, the pull-out wand portion being moveably between a first position proximate to the base portion and a second position spaced apart from the base portion; a sensor supported by the pull-out wand portion; a fluid characteristic input electronic touch sensor supported by the pull-out wand portion, the fluid characteristic input electronic touch sensor adapted to detect a movement of an object contacting the pull-out wand portion along an exterior of the pull-out wand portion; an automatic mixing valve interposed between the at least one water output of the pull-out wand portion and the at least one source of water, the automatic mixing valve receiving water from at least a hot source of water and a cold source of water, the automatic mixing valve being operable to regulate both temperature and flow of water to the at least one water output and being operable to permit communication of water provided by the at least one source of water to the at least one water output of the pull-out wand portion in a first configuration and to prevent communication of water provided by the at least one source of water to the at least one water output in a second configuration; and an electronic controller operably coupled to the sensor, operably coupled to the fluid characteristic input electronic touch sensor, and operably coupled to the automatic mixing valve, the electronic controller causing the automatic mixing valve to be in the first configuration in response to a first indication from the sensor, wherein the automatic mixing valve regulates both the temperature and the flow of water to the at least one water output based on input from the electronic controller, the input being based on the fluid characteristic electronic touch sensor which provides a fluid characteristic input for one of the temperature and the flow of water.
