Ablutionary fitting control
An ablutionary fitting controller (300) comprising a push-button actuator (200) arranged to control a flow of water to an outlet. The push-button actuator comprises a button (202) arranged to be moved in a longitudinal direction by a force applied to its contact surface (202a) ; a button housing (204) at least partially surrounding the button; and an actuator member (203) mounted on one or both of the button and the button housing. At least one of the button and the button housing comprises one or more inclined surfaces (403, s1, s2) arranged to interact with the actuator member so as to cause at least a part of the actuator member to move circumferentially. When the applied force is removed, the actuator member is held in either a first position in which the valve is open or a second position in which the valve is closed, depending on the angle of rotation. The push-button actuator further comprises an over-travel member (205) arranged to push a valve connection member in response to the applied force so as to actuate the valve; and a first biasing member (207) arranged to bias the over-travel member away from the contact surface of the button.
