  • Patent number: 9946272
    Abstract: Thermostatic valve including a housing; a sleeve for regulating the circulation of a fluid in the housing, movable along its axis; a thermostatic element, the moving part of which is movable along the axis relative to its stationary part resulting from an expansion of the thermodilatable material of this element so as to move the sleeve; a compression spring for returning the stationary and moving parts toward one another; and a bracket supporting the spring, which supports a decompression thrust produced by the spring and is provided with both fasteners for fastening to a bearing portion of the housing transverse to the axis, these fasteners cooperating in a form-fitting manner with the bearing portion so as to be attached with the bearing portion along the axis resulting from a decompression thrust produced by the spring, and locking for locking the bracket in position while axially abutting against the bearing portion.

  • Publication number: 20170254254
    Abstract: A thermostatic valve including a body, defining a first pipe for fluid to flow therethrough, into which at least a second pipe and at least a third pipe transversely lead, a sleeve, movable inside the valve body to place at least one of the second and third pipes in communication with the first pipe, a thermostatic element, including a stationary portion and a movable portion movable by a change in the volume of a heat-expansible material in the thermostatic element and translatably connected to the sleeve, a housing for supporting the thermostatic element, rigidly connected to the stationary portion of the thermostatic element, immobilised inside the first pipe, and sealingly engages with the sleeve, and a sealing ring between the sleeve and valve body.
