Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE78/00020 Sec. 371 Date May 4, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date May 4, 1979 PCT Filed Aug. 14, 1978 PCT Pub. No. WO79/00134 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 22, 1979Mixer valve for sanitary engineering with a slide plate, adjustable by means of a handle, to regulate the mixture ratio and outflow volume of tap water.For the precise and comfortable setting of the mixed water temperature in the preferred setting range, particularly between 30.degree. and 45.degree. C., and for the simple, space-saving and cost-favorable manufacture of the device, it is proposed to arrange the slide-plate parallel to the center axis in the valve housing and mount it in a movable and slewable manner around a rotational axis displaceable parallel to the center axis, whereby the slide plate is guided by a head piece displaced in relation to the center axis and protruding from the valve housing on a lever mounted to allow upwards and downwards movement in the jacket of a head housing mounted rotatably around the center axis.

Abstract: A valve slide plate is described in which flow noises are reduced. A flow passage for regulating through-flow volume or mixture is recessed in the surface of the valve plate. The flow passage is of expanded cross-section within the plate.

Abstract: A water level control system for use with bath tubs includes a capacitive proximity switch disposed external to one wall of the bath tub. The vertical position of the switch is adjustable. The switch generates a signal when the water level is approximately that of the switch. The signal is used to control a water supply solenoid and/or an alarm indication.

Abstract: A valve cartridge which is particularly suited for replacing valve assemblies of the type utilizing axially movable valve cones, includes a valve disk arrangement. The cartridge housing includes an upper portion adapted to extend above a valve housing and a lower portion adapted to extend into the valve housing. The upper portion contains a valve seat disk and a valve regulating disk. The valve seat disk has a centrally located inflow aperture and a plurality of outflow apertures positioned diametrically outward of the inflow aperture. The lower portion of the cartridge includes a central inflow pipe adapted to engage the fluid inflow passage of the valve housing and is in communication with the inflow aperture of the valve seat disk. The lower portion further includes an outflow pipe concentric with and of shorter length then the inflow pipe. The outflow pipe is in fluid communication with the outflow apertures and the outlet of the valve body.

Abstract: A recessed valve includes a protective valve cover sleeve and an actuating spindle, wherein the sleeve is provided with spaced-apart circumferential notches which permit an installer to shorten the sleeve in steps. The spindle has similar notches which also permit shortening its length.

Abstract: A mixer valve is disclosed for mixing hot and cold water, and controlling the outflowing volume by means of a single handle. The invention includes a control device outside the area to which water is admitted in the headpiece of the valve body and a wobble plate in the headpiece to control valve pistons. The wobble plate is carried by an axle bolt arranged on a secant in a bushing rotating around a fixed axis and being adjustable in its oblique position and its rotating setting by means of a lever assembly mounted in the bushing vertical to the rotational axis with an eccentric part engaging the wobble plate. The valve pistons preferably are tear-shaped and are mounted in spring tight suspension with the incoming water in the closing direction and housed and sealed by means of piston rods in the valve body with the piston rods in contact with the wobble plates at their top end-pieces.

Abstract: Tubular discharge bodies are provided for sanitary flow fittings. The discharge bodies are provided with an annular fitted element which may be placed in two settings or removed to enable three different pivoting ranges of 0.degree., 90.degree. or 360.degree..
