Abstract: Valve, in particular for the sanitary engineering field, with two flat and smoothened plates, one on top of the other, held in a housing and movable towards each other as a valve element whereby the plates have one or more through-apertures for one or more media.To simplify installation and reduce costs, the two plates are combined into one pack with appropriate sealing and sliding elements, the pack being bedded in a housing formed from two semi-monocoques having apertures for a valve actuating element and the inlet and outlet lines capable of insertion into an inlet and outlet flow device with pre-tensioning, whereby the contact surfaces of the two semi-monocoques are matched to the individual thickness of the pack by material deformation and are inseparably connected the one with the other.

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 slide valve of the type used in mixing faucets includes a flow channel recess having a plurality of closely spaced ridges or recesses in its bottom wall to reduce noise.

Abstract: A valve includes valve disks, one fixed and the other rotatable. The fixed disk includes in-flow and out-flow apertures. The rotatable disk is rotatable on a surface of the fixed disk to control through-flow volume and includes a semi-circular transfer flow passage recessed into its surface. The flow passage includes at least a tapered portion to provide more precise through-flow volume control.

Abstract: A single-handle mixing faucet includes a pair of valve plates, one movable and the other fixed, arranged with their contacting surfaces in a direction parallel to the axis of a faucet body. The movable plate is pivotally and movably arranged around a pivot that is movable parallel to the axis of the faucet. The valve elements are contained in a cartridge-like bushing member that facilitates faucet assembly.

Abstract: A single handle mixing faucet includes a pusher plate which is adjustable by means of the handle to regulate the mixture ratio and the outflow volume of the mixed water. The pusher plate is arranged in the faucet housing parallel to a mean axis to regulate the mixture. The pusher plate engages a head-piece in a slide guide rotating around the mean axis, and can be swivelled around a pivotal axis arranged outside the slide guide perpendicular to the mean axis. To regulate the volume, the pusher plate is carried movably parallel to the mean axis.
