The faucet body comprises a faucet outlet, and the water mixing valve mechanism comprises a cold water inlet connected to a cold water resource, a hot water inlet connected to a hot water resource, and a mixed water outlet. The water processor comprises a water processing passage and an ozone generator connected to the water processing passage. The control valve is disposed between the cold water resource and an inlet of the water processing passage, and an outlet of the water processing passage is connected to the faucet outlet. The detector is disposed between the mixed water outlet of the water mixing valve mechanism and the inlet of the water processing passage, and the processor is electrically connected to the control switch, the ozone generator, the detector, and the control valve to close the control valve and the ozone generator when the detector detects the water flowing through the detector.

A sanitary faucet having a faucet body; a mixing valve for mixing cold water and warm water to form a mixed water; and a thermostatic mixing valve for mixing cold and hot water to generate the warm water, containing an expansion material element and a gate valve operated by the expansion material element for adjusting a mixing ratio between the cold water and the hot water, wherein the expansion material element and the gate valve are arranged non-coaxially to each other, wherein the expansion material element can be used to operate the gate valve via a connection element, and wherein the connection element can be attached to the gate valve or the expansion material element and can subsequently be rotated into a closed position, in which the gate valve and the expansion material element are interconnected by the connection element. A method of installing a sanitary faucet is proposed.

A valve upper part for insertion into a sanitary fitting includes a head piece in which a spindle is pivotably mounted, the first end of the spindle projecting from the head piece and the second end thereof engaging via a pin with a control element which is in contact with a stationary passage disc, wherein the passage disc has at least two passage openings and wherein the control element is designed as an adjusting block which is dimensioned such that it can be used to seal at least one passage opening.

A faucet valve cartridge pulling tool comprising a housing, a stem screw, and a collar. The housing has a first end and a second end. The first end has a surface adapted to abut a portion of a faucet valve body. The stem screw has a first end and a second end. The stem screw includes a first threaded section and a second threaded section. The first threaded section is adapted to engage internal threading of a faucet valve cartridge stem located within the faucet valve body. The collar has internal threading engaging the second threaded section of the stem screw. Wherein, rotating the collar relative to the stem screw pulls the first threaded portion axially towards the second end of the housing.

A control valve for faucet may comprise a control valve, a balancing valve, a water outlet unit, and a faucet body. A lower end of the control valve has a water inlet chamber and a water outlet chamber, and the balancing valve secured inside the water inlet chamber comprises a first shell and a second shell which are formed symmetrically and are configured to fit together to secure a pressure regulator therein. The water outlet unit secured inside the water outlet chamber has a first through hole, and a lower end thereof comprises a lower sealing ring which covers around a lower edge of the water outlet chamber. When control valve connected to the faucet body, the lower sealing ring only will be pressed downwardly instead of being twisted thereby reducing the possibility of damage or deformation and improving the strength of structure and the leakproof effect.

A valve upper part for inserting into a sanitary fitting includes a head piece, in which a spindle is pivotably mounted, which protrudes from the head piece at the first end of the spindle and engages with a control disk at the second end of the spindle using a pin, which control disk is in contact with a rotationally fixed passage disk, which has at least one through opening, a gripping part being arranged at the first end of the spindle. The gripping part is designed as a slide, which has a pivot space, which accommodates the first end of the spindle in every pivot position and in which a driver element is arranged, by means of which the spindle is connected to the slide.

The present invention relates to a cartridge for an electronic tap having a handle or controller with an extended operative range of motion, which allows moving said handle or controller beyond its normal range of motion determined by a first stop, providing in said extended areas additional functionalities using a control system that determines the position of the handle in order to associate to said position a flow value, a fluid mixing ratio value, and/or an additional functionality. The invention also relates to the tap including said cartridge with a handle having an extended operative range of motion and to the operation method thereof.

Valve controlled cartridge operated by a pushbutton for the mixing of water and/or for directing water coming from an inlet to one or more outlets. The valve is a flow controlled piston valve (10) with a valve piston (17) guided in the interior of the housing (13) for axial displacement, and where no mechanical connection exists between the control valve (30) and the valve piston.

A control cartridge (2) for installation in a cartridge housing (3) of a sanitary fitting (1) comprises a first feed opening (4) and a discharge opening (6) as well as one or more seals (7), which are configured for sealing abutment on an internal surface (8) of the cartridge housing (3). Said seals (7) are arranged in such a way that after the completed installation of the control cartridge (2) in a cartridge housing (3) of a sanitary fitting (1) the first feed opening (4) is joined in a sealed manner to a cold-water or mixed-water connection (9) of the sanitary fitting (1) and the discharge opening (6) is joined in a sealed manner to a discharge pipe (11) of the sanitary fitting (1). The first feed opening (4) in the cartridge housing (3) or in the control cartridge (2) is directly connected to the discharge opening (6) which is sealed with respect to the cartridge housing (3). The control cartridge (2) comprises a second feed opening (5) in which an electric line (12) is disposed which connects an electrical switch (13) of the control cartridge (2) to a valve (16) arranged in a cold-water or mixed-water feed pipe (14) at least for switching a water flow on and off.

An attachment system comprises an attachment assembly having a side with an exposed surface. A magnetic structure comprises a plurality of assembly field emission sources having positions and polarities relating to an attachment spatial force function. A plurality of assembly pole pieces are coupled to the magnetic structure such that a spatial spacing is created between the magnetic structure and the side. Each assembly pole piece is coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of assembly field emission sources for directing magnetic flux. An attachment target attaches to the exposed surface based on the attachment spatial force function. The attachment target comprises a plurality of target field emission sources having positions and polarities relating to the attachment spatial force. The attachment spatial force function is in accordance with a code and corresponds to the relative alignment of the plurality of assembly field emission sources and the plurality of target field emission sources to each other.
