Abstract
A sanitary faucet (1) having a mixing valve (2) for mixing cold water and warm water to form mixed water having a desired mixed-water temperature, wherein the mixed-water temperature can be set by rotating a control disk (3) of the mixing valve about a first axis of rotation (4); and a first control element (5), which can be rotated about a second axis of rotation (6) for actuating the control disk (3), wherein the second axis of rotation (6) does not extend in parallel to the first axis of rotation (6).
Claims21
A sanitary faucet (1) comprising:
- a mixing valve (2) for mixing cold water and warm water to form mixed water having a desired mixed-water temperature, wherein the mixed-water temperature can be set by rotating a control disk (3) of the mixing valve (2) about a first axis of rotation (4);
- a first control element (5), which can be rotated about a second axis of rotation (6) for actuating the control disk (3), wherein the second axis of rotation (6) does not extend in parallel to the first axis of rotation (4), and
- a valve (9) for opening and closing a mixed-water duct (10), wherein the valve (9) can be actuated by a second control element (11), wherein a volumetric flow rate of the mixed water can be set by turning the second control element (11), and wherein the valve (9) can be adjusted between an open position and a closed position (12) by pressing the second control element (11).
