Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The cartridge comprises a slide valve for regulating the temperature of a mixture of hot and cold fluids. The slide valve is, under the action of a thermostatic element and in relation to an outer casing of the cartridge, which can be displaced along the central axis of the casing in such a way as to vary inversely the respective flow sections of an inlet for a first of the fluids, delimited axially between the casing and one of the two opposite axial surfaces of the slide valve, and of an inlet for the second fluid, delimited axially between the casing and the other axial surface of the slide valve. Therefore the cartridge can, effectively and economically, provide a good mixture of the two fluids, a flow passage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A thermostatic cartridge for regulating hot and cold fluids to be mixed, the thermostatic cartridge comprising: a casing, which is hollow, which defines an axis and which delimits an outlet for a mixture of the hot and cold fluids, a slide valve for regulating a temperature of the mixture, which: has two opposite axial surfaces, interiorly delimits a flow passage which connects the axial surfaces together and through which a first fluid of the hot and…
