Abstract:
A sanitary mixing valve having a first disk and a second disk (1, 2) arranged in a cartridge casing (7), the first disk is rotationally fixed, the second disk can be rotated by means of a driving element (4) provided on a spindle (3), the driving element (4) comprises a part (8), which is fixedly connected with the spindle (3) and has a gearing (9) on at least one area of its outer circumference, and a coupling (10), which has on its inner circumferential surface a gearing (11) which, in the installed state, engages the gearing (9) of the part (8) of the driving element (4), the coupling (10) having at least one stop projection (5, 15) which limits the rotational movement of the driving element (4) in cooperation with at least one stop (6, 26) on the cartridge casing (7), wherein, at least one first stop projection (5) extends over a portion of the height of the coupling (10), and at least one second stop projection (15) extends over another portion of the height of the coupling (10), a stop surface (13) of the stop projection (15) having an offset (&bgr;) relative to a stop surface (14) of the first stop projection (5); the coupling (10) is engageable with the part (8) of the driving element (4) in two different directions, and the first and second stop projections (5, 15) alternatively cooperate with the stop (6) provided on the cartridge casing (7) in the two different directions.
