Claim:
A mixer tap for a thermal wave massage device, said mixer tap comprising: a housing; a number of inlet ports for hot and cold water; an operating handle; at least one contact pair, including: a movable part having a first contact surface of a flat, or a cylindrical, or a spherical type, and movable passage means for passing water therethrough made in the movable part, and an immovable part having a second contact surface of a flat, or cylindrical, or spherical type corresponding to the first contact surface, and immovable passage means for passing water therethrough made in the immovable part, wherein said immovable part is secured substantially to the housing, said at least one contact pair having two degrees of freedom in a possible motion of said movable and immovable parts relative to each other; and at least one outlet port for warm water and at least one outlet port for tepid water, said outlet ports are associated with said passage means; wherein the first and second contact surfaces are placed in contact with each other, and the passage means are so configured, that a relative position of the movable and immovable parts against each other regulate a proportion between the hot and cold water flowing into said outlet ports, and a shift of the movable part in the direction of one said degree of freedom determines a temperature difference between the warm and tepid water, and a shift in the direction of the other degree of freedom determines an average temperature of the warm and tepid water.
