20090200388 | THERMOSTATIC VALVE AND MIXER TAP WITH INTEGRATED TMV - There is described a mixer tap with integrated thermostatic mixing valve (TMV). The tap comprises in a single housing: hot and cold water inlets; an outlet for mixed water; hot and cold lever controls and a thermostatic mixing device within the single housing to prevent water above a certain temperature being emitted from the common outlet. The cold water control opens a fluid path from the cold inlet to the common outlet, bypassing said thermostatic mixing device, allowing better assurance of purity. The thermostatic mixing device and strainer/check valve cartridges are housed in an internal body so as to be readily accessible for servicing after installation of the device by removing only a cap part of the housing. | 08-13-2009 |
20090090884 | WATER TAP OR FAUCET - A lever action tap or faucet has a rotary control for manually regulating the flow of water through the tap to a spout, and is adapted for hospital environments, including pre-surgical scrubbing up. The control comprises a long lever arm and a short lever arm, either lever arm being operable to operate the control, the lever arms being mounted with a predetermined angular separation about the axis. The angle of rotation between the open and closed states is substantially equal to 90°. The arrangement is such that the long lever is arranged to rotate upwards and away from the user in moving from the open state to the closed state. The short lever arm is arranged to rotate downwards and away from the user, in moving from the closed state to the open state. | 04-09-2009 |
