Abstract
A single-lever mixing valve with stirrup-shaped handle (9) comprises a mixing cartridge (2) which is arranged in a fitting housing (1) and projects with an actuating shank (14), pivotable about a pivot axis (16), into a handle head (18) closed off to the outside, it being possible for the actuating shank (14) to be actuated by the stirrup-shaped handle (9) via pins (11, 11′) leading into the handle head (18). In such a single-lever mixing valve, increased hygiene and an improved visual impression are achieved in a simple construction by the pins (11, 11′) being rotatably mounted about a rotation axis (17) which is in alignment with the pivot axis (16) of the actuating shank (14).
