Abstract
In a grip-less water mixer unit, the quantity of water outflow and the mixing temperature are controlled by pivot-mounting the water outlet about two independent axes in a valve body. The water outlet is coupled to two regulating elements of which, one serves to regulate the water quantity and the other the adjustment of the mixing temperature. In a first embodiment example both regulating elements are formed as cylindrical bodies rotatable in the valve body, and in a second embodiment example, both regulating elements are concentrated in a ball which is rotatable in the valve body.
Claims16
A grip-less mixer unit, from metal or plastic, including a valve body;
- at least one each of hot and cold water supplies;
- first and second regulating elements for the regulating, respectively, of the mixing temperature and the quantity of the water outflow;
- and a water outlet pivotable about one or two axes for operation of the regulating elements, where said second regulating element is positioned transversely to said first regulating element, and said outlet is connected to said first and second regulating elements and that by rotating the outlet about one of said axes, said quantity of water may be regulated, and by rotating the outlet about the other of said axes, said mixing temperature of the water may be regulated.
A grip-less mixer unit from metal or plastic including a valve body;
- at least one each of hot and cold water supplies;
- at least a first regulating element and a second regulating element for the regulating of quantity and mixing temperature of the water outflow;
- and a water outlet pivotable about two axes for operation of the regulating elements, characterized as:
- that said first and second regulating elements are mainly cylindrical in shape, optionally slightly conical;
- and the first regulating element, which serves to regulate the water quantity, is closed on one side and is inserted with its open side into the valve body;
- and the second regulating element, which serves to regulate the mixing temperature, is inserted transversely in the first regulating element whereby it abuts the valve body and thus determines the position of the first regulating element in the valve body;
- and that the second regulating element is itself retained in its position by a securing device, with the outlet connected to said first and second regulating elements such that by rotating the outlet about one of said axes, said quantity of water may be regulated, and by rotating the outlet about the other of said axes, said mixing temperature of the water may be regulated.
