Title:
【発明の名称】混合弁のための流量率及び温度制限機構
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002510376
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A mixing valve (10) has a limiting mechanism (26) for controlling the maximum flow rate and maximum temperature mix for the mixed water. The limiting mechanism (26) includes a rotatable plate member (70) retained on a cap assembly (56) by a positioning ring member (82). The plate member (70) has a slot (74) that receives a control stem (22) of valve element (20). A handle (92) has a leg section (96) that fits onto control stem (22) and has a cross-sectional shape that prevents the handle from rotating about the control stem axis. The positioning ring (82) limits the rotation of the plate member (70) to define a maximum temperature mix of the discharged water through outlet port (30) of the mixing valve (10).
