<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive hot water supply temperature controller which can supply hot water to the downstream side at larger flow rate by constituting a passage through which hot water at an appropriate temperature flows in the hot water supply temperature controller in such a manner that there hardly occurs flow resistance in the passage, and moreover which has little possibility of deteriorating the appearance or spoiling the cleaning facility even when the controller is arranged in a water flow path such as a cock, a shower hose by simplifying the passage so as to make the outer configuration compact. <P>SOLUTION: In the hot water supply temperature controller, a movable valve element is moved depending on balance of the urging force of a bias spring and the urging force of a temperature sensing member which senses the hot water temperature so as to select a water flow pathway. The bias spring, the movable valve element and the temperature sensing member are arranged such that their operation shafts are arrayed in a line. An inlet channel and an outlet channel are formed substantially linearly. Also, the movable valve element comprises a discharge port opening/closing valve, an outlet port opening/closing valve and slit portions connecting both opening/closing valves to each other, so that the passage always communicating with the inlet channel is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
