Patent attributes
A timed touchless faucet assembly for indicating to a user a time remaining for a flow of water includes a spout that is coupled to a surface proximate to a basin. An upper end of the spout is positioned over the basin. A sensor, which is proximity type, and a barometer are coupled to the spout. A controller, which comprises a power module, is operationally coupled to the sensor, the barometer, the spout, and a water source. The controller is positioned to receive a signal from the sensor when a hand of the user is positioned between the upper end of the spout and the basin. The controller is configured to selectively fluidically couple the spout to the water source concurrently with coupling the barometer to the power module. The barometer provides an indication to the user of the time remaining for the flow of water through the spout.
