An automatic faucet device capable of cleaning and sterilizing a human body of a user with no stress given to the user. The device includes: a water supply head; a first solenoid valve interposed in the course of a pipe connecting the water supply head to a pre-cleaning water source; a second solenoid valve interposed in the course of a pipe connecting the water supply head to an ozone-water source; and a sensor for detecting the presence of a substance such as a hand of a human body under a discharge port of the water supply head. The first solenoid valve is opened for a specific period of time A in response to a signal detected by the sensor, and the second solenoid valve is opened for a specific period of time C after an elapse of a specific period of time B since starting of the opening of the first solenoid valve. A graphic indicator including arrays of LEDs, which is disposed on the upper surface of the water supply head, controls the turn-on/off of the arrays of light emitting diodes in cooperation with the solenoid valve control means and schematically, graphically indicating both an elapsed time within the specific period of time B and an elapsed time within the specific period of time C.

[ We claim:] [1.] An automatic faucet device for cleaning a human body with ozone-water, comprising:a water supply head disposed over a sink;a first solenoid valve interposed in the course of a pipe connecting said water supply head to a pre-cleaning water source;a second solenoid valve interposed in the course of a pipe connecting said water supply head to an ozone-water source;a sensor for detecting the presence of a substance like a part of a human body under a discharge port of said water supply head;a solenoid valve control means for opening said first solenoid valve for a specific period of time A in response to a signal detected by said sensor, and opening said second solenoid valve for a specific period of time C after an elapse of a specific period of time B since starting of the opening of said first solenoid valve;a graphic indicator including arrays of light emitting diodes, said indicator being disposed at such a position as to allow a user of said water supply head to take a look at said indicator; andan indication control means for controlling the turn-on/off of said arrays of light emitting diodes in cooperation with said solenoid valve control means and discriminably, graphically indicating both an elapsed time within the specific period of time B and an elapsed time within the specific period of time C after starting of the opening of said first solenoid valve.
