Mixing cartridge with temperature limiter, comprising: - a cartridge body including a cylindrical neck portion; - a top element including a cylindrical portion arranged concentrically inside and rotatably coupled to said cylindrical neck portion, the cylindrical portion of the top element comprising a pivotable actuation lever; - a base element associated with the cartridge body, the base element comprising openings for the separate inflow of hot and cold water and with an opening for the outflow of mixed water; - a fixed plate provided within the cartridge body and superimposed on the base element, the fixed plate comprising water flow openings corresponding to those present in the base element; - a movable plate provided within the cartridge body and that internally defines a mixing chamber, the movable plate being coupled to the pivotable actuation lever, so that rotating the top element about the axis of its cylindrical portion between a first angular position and a second angular position causes a rotation of the movable plate on the fixed plate varying progressively the mixture of hot and cold water, and hence the temperature of the mixed water, for a given outflow rate; and - a temperature limiter comprising a spring-loaded member that limits the rotation range of the top element to an intermediate angular position between said first angular position and said second angular position, in which the temperature of the mixed water is limited to a set value, while the top element can be rotated beyond said intermediate angular position against the action of the spring-loaded member; characterized in that the spring-loaded member is provided in said cylindrical neck portion and protrudes from the internal surface of said cylindrical neck portion towards the cylindrical portion of the top element, wherein the spring-loaded member interferes with an abutment of the cylindrical portion of the top element when the top element reaches said intermediate angular position; in that the cylindrical neck portion comprises a cavity having inner and outer openings provided, respectively, on the internal and external surfaces of the cylindrical neck portion; and in that the spring-loaded member comprises: - a rigid element arranged in the cavity and protruding through the inner and outer openings of said cavity; and - a resilient element arranged on the external surface of the cylindrical neck portion, the resilient element being mechanically coupled to the rigid element at the outer opening of the cavity. - a cartridge body including a cylindrical neck portion; - a top element including a cylindrical portion arranged concentrically inside and rotatably coupled to said cylindrical neck portion, the cylindrical portion of the top element comprising a pivotable actuation lever; - a base element associated with the cartridge body, the base element comprising openings for the separate inflow of hot and cold water and with an opening for the outflow of mixed water; - a fixed plate provided within the cartridge body and superimposed on the base element, the fixed plate comprising water flow openings corresponding to those present in the base element; - a movable plate provided within the cartridge body and that internally defines a mixing chamber, the movable plate being coupled to the pivotable actuation lever, so that rotating the top element about the axis of its cylindrical portion between a first angular position and a second angular position causes a rotation of the movable plate on the fixed plate varying progressively the mixture of hot and cold water, and hence the temperature of the mixed water, for a given outflow rate; and - a temperature limiter comprising a spring-loaded member that limits the rotation range of the top element to an intermediate angular position between said first angular position and said second angular position, in which the temperature of the mixed water is limited to a set value, while the top element can be rotated beyond said intermediate angular position against the action of the spring-loaded member; - a rigid element arranged in the cavity and protruding through the inner and outer openings of said cavity; and - a resilient element arranged on the external surface of the cylindrical neck portion, the resilient element being mechanically coupled to the rigid element at the outer opening of the cavity.
