HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WASHBASIN
The invention relates to a device for washing body parts, in particular the hands and feet, composed of a supporting frame (2) having a washbasin (1) thereon that can be adjusted in height, associated with a drain and a water discharge fitting (5) disposed on a rear wall connected to the washbasin, and with an electric drive that can be operated by a controller that can be controlled by switches (3). In order to ensure that the washbasin always rests on the floor in the lowest position thereof, either directly or at least by means of front feet, regardless of the position and adjustment of the limit switch defining the lowest position of the washbasin, so that at least a large portion of the load of the washbasin does not have to be supported by the mounting element or the support frame, thus avoiding damage, the washbasin (1) is associated with a sensor (20) effective only during the lowering motion thereof, wherein said sensor contacts the floor (10) at a predefined distance, switches off a fast motion of the drive via the controller, and switches on a creep speed over the predefined distance.
