Abstract:
1. A sanitary fitting having a fitting housing, having a control cartridge which is arranged in the latter, which defines a cartridge axis and which has a control shank which can be pivoted about a pivot axis extending at a right angle to the cartridge axis, and having an actuating lever which interacts with the control shank, which has an operator-side end and which can be pivoted up and down between a closed position and an open position in order to pivot the control shank about the pivot axis and thus to control the water flow, wherein a guide element arranged on the actuating lever is displaceably mounted on the control shank, and a plate is mounted at one end on the guide element and at the other end on an axis of rotation which is fixedly arranged with respect to the pivot axis and which is parallel thereto, in order, during the pivoting of the actuating lever from the closed position in the direction toward the open position, to move the actuating lever in the direction away from the control shank and, as seen in the direction of the cartridge axis away from the fitting housing.
