Patent ID: 8424568

Claim:
Sanitary appliance comprising: a water discharge point ( 8 ); an electronically controlled mixing valve ( 9 ) that has a cold water connection ( 10 ) and a hot water connection ( 11 ), a control device ( 1 ) to control the water discharge point ( 8 ) with: a) a control element ( 3 ) that can be rotated on a first functional level ( 2 ) and on a second functional level ( 12 ), said second functional level ( 12 ) extending parallel to and at a distance ( 13 ) from the first functional level ( 2 ), b) an electronic controller ( 4 ), c) an electric power supply ( 5 ), d) a base ( 6 ) for mounting the control device ( 1 ), and e) a spring element ( 26 ) which elastically retains the control element ( 3 ) on the first functional level ( 2 ), the control element ( 3 ) being movable onto the second functional level ( 12 ) by performing a lifting movement against the resistance of the spring element ( 3 ), whereby the control element ( 3 ) jumps back onto the first functional level ( 2 ) elastically when it is released, characterized in that the flow or the temperature of the water discharged from the water discharge point ( 8 ) can be changed by rotating the control element ( 3 ) on the first functional level ( 2 ), and that the temperature or the flow of the water discharged from the water discharge point ( 8 ) can be changed by rotating the control element ( 3 ) on the second functional level ( 12 ), whereby the desired temperature and flow parameters are set independently from a specific angle or from a specific position by means of said rotating movements.
