MIXING VALVE WITH A HAND LEVER

摘要

To improve a mixing valve consisting of a fixture body and a valve cartridge accommodating the valve elements, with a hand lever for operating a valve element which is movable in two degrees of freedom to determine the mixing ratio and the total rate of flow, whereby the hand lever connected with the valve element and pivotable about two axes of rotation arranged at right angles to one another in the valve cartridge is led out laterally from the casing of a lever head housing which is pivoted about the first axis of rotation and in the form of a sleeve, it is proposed that the sleeve adjoin and be guided in the area of the fixture body with a front end whereby clamping and stop means are provided in the area of the valve cartridge to axially secure the sleeve in the mounted position, so that the sleeve can be slipped on axially and, after a given turn, held axially fixed in the locked position over the entire range of traverse for adjusting the mixed water and the hand lever cannot be fastened to the adjusting lever until after the said given turn.
