Abstract: In a control disc valve, which is intended particularly for sanitary use, a first control disc containing water inlet openings is arranged in a stationary manner. A second control disc, which contains a recess, for example a guide channel through which water flows, is able to move with respect to the first control disc. A movement brake is provided, which retards the closing movement of the second control disc at least in the region immediately before the complete closure of the valve. For this purpose a cylinder bore is located in the movable control disc, which bore communicates with the recess in the second control disc through which water flows. A damping piston moves in the cylinder bore. The piston is actuated by way of a plunger, which at the time of the movement of the control disc abuts against another part of the valve, in particular against the wall of the cartridge housing.

Abstract: On a single-lever mixer, the operating lever (26), which is rigidly connected to a cartridge adjusting shank (16), has a lever section (30) which is concentric with the adjusting shank swivel axis (18), is circular-arc-shaped and has been passed through an opening (32) in the circumferential wall (34) of the cover (36) shutting the cartridge reception opening (12) of the housing (10). The cover (36) is connected, so as to be secured against rotation, to an adjusting shank bearing part (20) which is rotatable about the cartridge axis.
