Adjustable flow and temperature stop mechanism for use in single control mixer cartridges in plumbing fixtures

摘要

An adjustable stop mechanism is described in which several longitudinal grooves are made in a mobile shaft (1) of the cartridge on which are fitted two sockets (2 and 3) which have in their interior the counterpart of these grooves, thus becoming integral with the shaft. One of these grooved sockets defines the rotation stop, limiting the maximum content of hot water in the mixture, while the other limits maximum flow, these being independently decided by the relative position with the grooved shaft.
