Abstract

A mixer tap with a housing comprising ceramic discs for adjusting the mixture proportion and the volume is characterised in that the adjustment mechanism is formed by a stationary disc (1) with three apertures (12, 13, 14) corresponding to apertures (8, 9, 10) in the end wall (7) of the housing, and another ceramic disc (2) displaceable and turnable relative to the first disc (1) by means of a turning/pushing mechanism (3, 4, 5) controlled by a single projecting handle. The second disc (2) is formed with a single hollow space (21) in such a manner that the hot water can be discharged through an aperture in the end wall (7), whereas the cold water can be discharged through an aperture (11) in the side wall of the housing. In this manner the flow paths for cold and hot water, respectively, are kept separate. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION A single-handle mixer tap The invention relates to a mixer tap with a housing comprising ceramic discs for adjusting the mixture proportion and the volume.
British patent application No. 2,108,634A discloses a mixer tap with a stationary ceramic disc and a ceramic disc displaceable and turnable relative to the stationary disc, an adjustment of the mixture proportion and the volume thereby being possible. The movable disc comprises two apertures interacting with apertures in the stationary disc, whereby the paths of hot and cold water are separate. Both the supply and the discharge of hot and cold water, respectively, take place through apertures in the end wall of the mixer tap.
The object of the present invention is to show how the mixer tap can be made smaller at the same time as the production costs are reduced, and according to the invention this object is obtained by the adjustment mechanism being formed by a stationary disc with three apertures corresponding to apertures in the end wall of the housing, and another ceramic disc displaceable and turnable relative to the first disc by means of a turning/pushing mechanism controlled by a single projecting handle, whereby the other disc is formed with a single hollow space and can be moved away from the aperture in such a manner that the hot and cold water, respectively, can be discharged through an aperture in the side wall of the housing.
The invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 illustrates an adjustment mechanism for a single-handle mixer tap according to the invention, Figure 2 is a side and top view, respectively, of the movable ceramic disc, Figure 3 is a sectional top view of the stationary ceramic disc, Figure 4 illustrates the two discs in the closed mixing position, Figure 5 illustrates the discs in the open mixing position, Figure 6 illustrates the discs in a position, in which the cold water is shut off, Figure 7 illustrates the discs in a position, in which the cold water is turned on, Figure 8 illustrates the discs in a position, in which the hot water is shut off, and Figure 9 illustrates the discs in a position, in which the hot water is turned on.
The mixer tap illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises an outer housing 6 with an end wall 7, three apertures 8, 9, 10 being provided in the end wall and one aperture 11 being provided in the side wall.
8 is an aperture communicating with a pipe for the supply of hot water, whereas 10 is an aperture communicating with a pipe for the supply of cold water, 9 and 11 are outlets for cold and hot water, respectively.
The adjustment mechanism comprises a stationary ceramic disc 1 with three apertures 12, 13, 1 4 corresponding to the apertures 8, 9, 10 in the end wall 7.
A packing 1 5 provides a sealing between the three apertures 12, 1 3, 14 in the stationary ceramic disc. A packing 1 6 provides a sealing between the apertures 8, 9, 10 in the end wall 7.
The stationary ceramic disc 1 is fixed in the housing in such a manner that the three apertures 12, 13, 1 4 in the disc always correspond with the three apertures 18, 1 9, 20 in the inner housing and the three apertures 8, 9, 10 in the outer housing.
The second ceramic disc 2 is displaceable and turnable relative to the stationary ceramic disc 1 by means of a turning/pushing mechanism 3, 4, 5.
The inlet 14 for the cold water in the stationary ceramic disc 1 corresponds with the outlet 13 through a hollow space 21 in the movable ceramic disc 2. The movements of the disc 2 are limited in such a manner that the hollow space 21 can never extend beyond the stationary disc 2 and communicate with the aperture 1 2 for the hot water in the disc 1. By limiting the movements of the disc 2 as stated above, the hot water is always separated from the cold water. When the movable disc 2 is moved away from the aperture 12, the hot water can be discharged freely through the aperture 22, 11 in the inner and the outer housing, respectively.
Thus a single-handle mixer tap has been provided which comprises only two discs and in which the hot and the cold water are kept separate by said cold water flowing through a hollow space 21 in the movable disc while said hot water flows directly through the stationary disc through the opening of an aperture in said disc. This aperture is opened by moving the movable disc away from the aperture in the stationary disc.
As illustrated in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9, the two discs are formed in such a manner that a turning of the movable disc changes the mixture proportion of hot and cold water, whereas a radial movement of the movable disc changes the total flow volume.
It should be noted that in the closed position it is possible to turn the adjustment handle without water being discharged from the mixer tap.
According to the invention it is thus possible to keep the hot and cold water separate by means of a relatively simple construction with small ceramic discs.
The mixer tap according to the invention may be varied in many ways without thereby deviating from the scope of the invention.

Claims (3)

1. A mixer tap with a housing comprising cramic discs for adjusting the mixture proportion and the volume, characterised in that the adjustment mechanism is formed by a stationary disc (1) with three apertures (12, 13, 14) corresponding to apertures (8, 9, 10) in the end wall (7) of the housing, and another ceramic disc (2) displaceable and turnable relative to the first disc (1) by means of a turning/pushing mechanism (3, 4, 5) controlled by a single projecting handle, whereby the other disc (2) is formed with a single hollow space (21) incapable of extending beyond the stationary disc (1), and whereby the flow paths for cold and hot water, respectively, are kept entirely separate.
2. A mixer tap as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the hot and the cold water, respectively, flow directly through an aperture in the stationary disc (1), the movable disc (2) being movable away from the aperture in such a manner than the hot and the cold water, respectively, can flow out through an aperture (11, 21) in the side wall of the housing whereas the cold and the hot water, respectively, can flow out through an aperture in the end wall (7).
3. A mixer tap substantially as described above and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
