Abstract
An aesthetically designed sink () comprises a plurality of orifices () that deliver different water flow profiles for washing, rinsing, and drinking. Hot and cold water supplies () supply water to the sink. A series of touch and sliding-touch controls (-) regulate the temperature and flow of water from the orifices. A logic circuit () controls all operations, i.e., orifice selection, flow rate, and temperature. In one aspect water flowing from an orifice forms a sheet-shaped stream that arcs over the bowl for ease of washing and drinking. The stream can be illuminated by bi-color light-emitting diodes () in colors indicative of the selected temperature of the water flowing through that orifice. Alternatively an orifice is replaced by a removable fixture () in a cavity () in the sink, which is connected to the water supply ().
