Definitions

  • the represent invention relates to a single-control mixing faucet construction, with a horizontal mixing cartridge, which has been specifically designed for bath tubs and showers.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such a single-control mixing faucet construction, with a horizontal mixing cartridge, particularly suitable for bath tubs and showers, which overcomes the above mentioned drawbacks affecting the prior art.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a mixing faucet construction the faucet body of which is made by a casting process, while overcoming all the above mentioned problems affecting prior casting processes.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a mixing faucet construction which can be made in a comparatively small time and with a cost less than that required for making conventional faucets.
  • a single-control mixing faucet construction including a horizontal mixing cartridge, characterized in that said faucet construction comprises a cast holding body defining therein at least two broad inner cavities, at least one of said inner cavities being engaged by a duct and a mixing cartridge, so as to define at least three separated chambers inside said holding body, i.e. a hot water chamber, a cold water chamber and a mixed water chamber.
  • the single-control mixing faucet construction according to the present invention which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a holding body 2, made by any suitable casting method, so as to define therein at least two cavities, respectively indicated by the reference numbers 3 and 4, coupled to a fitting 5, provided for hot water, and a further fitting 6, provided for cold water.
  • the fittings 5 and 6 can further comprise eccentric fitting elements 12 and 13, of any per se known types.
  • the holding body 2 defines moreover an outlet 7, including an aerating device 8 and a switching element 9, in turn comprising a fitting 10 for connection to the shower flexible hose, not specifically shown, and a driving rod 11.
  • the body 102 does not include a delivery outlet, but only a fitting 110 for connecting with the shower flexible tube, not shown.
  • the inner cavity 4 of the holding body 2 comprises a diaphragm 14 for connection to a bottom element or portion 15 of a mixing cartridge 16 which, advantageously can be of any suitable standard types.
  • the mixing cartridge 16 receives hot or warm water coming from the cavity 3 through a duct 17 applied to a port formed in the separating diaphragm or membrane 18, between the cavities 3 and 4.
  • the mixing cartridge 16 is moreover supplied with cold water coming from the cavity 19, coupled to the fitting 6 by a specifically designed coupling arrangement machined on the bottom element 15 and including a circular crown slot 19.
  • the mixing cartridge 16 is controlled by a control lever assembly 20, including a cartridge lever insert 21, associated with a control lever body 22, in turn including a control lever insert 23.
  • the switching element 9 allows to offset the water flow to the fitting 8 for a shower flexible hose, or other auxiliary using device.
  • the duct 17 is threaded and glued to the bottom element 15, before the assembling operation inside the cast holding body 2.
  • a hot or warm water chamber defined by the cavity 3
  • a cold water chamber defined by the cavity 19
  • a mixed water chamber defined by the cavity 4.
  • the invention provides a single-control mixing faucet construction, with a horizontal mixing cartridge, comprising a cast body having gaps for the passage therethrough of water which gaps are very broad and can be made in a simple manner.
  • An important advantage of the invention is that the mentioned inner gaps have been obtained in said cast holding body by using insert elements, made of brass bars, which are engaged in the body during the assembling operation thereof.
  • the cast body can be further machined by any desired known machining equipment (for example of a CNC type), thereby greatly reducing the making time and cost.
  • the used materials, and the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements and the status of the art.
