Patent number: 5806761Abstract: In a combination faucet device (10) according to the invention, a movable valve member (160) slidingly moves relative to a main casing (30) to change a mixing ratio of high-temperature water supplied from a hot water port (116) to low-temperature water supplied from a cold water port (106). The movable valve member (160) is pressed by a temperature sensitive spring (130) in a first direction while being pressed by a bias spring (150) in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The temperature sensitive spring (130) is exposed to a water mixture and varies its spring constant according to the temperature of the water mixture. The temperature sensitive spring (130) accordingly moves the movable valve member (160) in a direction for decreasing the ratio of the high-temperature water to a certain position where the spring force of the temperature sensitive spring (130) balances with the spring force of the bias spring (150), thus allowing a water mixture adjusted to a target temperature.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1996Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Toto Ltd.Inventors: Masatoshi Enoki, Osamu Tokunaga, Setsuo Ito, Masaaki Itoh, Hirofumi Takeuchi

Patent number: 5181392Abstract: Disclosed is an air conditioner and, in particular, an air conditioner which is capable of blowing out warm air in heating mode. In the air conditioner of this invention, the condenser is thermally separated into an air-upstream-side and an air-downstream-side heat exchanger, and the heat exchange capacity of the air-downstream-side heat exchanger is adjusted, so that, under preset operating conditions, the entire refrigerant in the air-downstream-side heat exchanger can be kept in the superheated-gas phase, thus making it possible to blow out warm air having a temperature higher than the condensation temperature. Further, the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the air-downstream-side heat exchanger is measured by a temperature sensor, and the revolving speed of the compressor, the revolving speed of the fan, etc., is so controlled that the temperature measured is kept at a level higher than the condensation temperature.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1991Date of Patent: January 26, 1993Assignee: Hitachi Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Itoh, Hiroaki Matsushima, Hiroshi Kogure, Mitsutaka Shizuya, Chie Kobayashi
