Abstract:
A mixing unit for a mixer tap has a first intake for a first incoming stream, and a second intake for a second incoming stream. The mixing unit mixes the first and second incoming streams in order to form an output stream, and has an outlet for the output stream. A thermostat includes a heat-sensitive portion and a translationally movable portion along an axis. A seal of the second intake is connected to the movable portion. A recess connects the outlet with the second intake and housing and is sealed by the heat-sensitive portion and the translationally movable portion. The outlet has an abutment to restrain the translational movement of the heat-sensitive portion along the axis, in a direction parallel to the axis and opposite to the seal. The abutment limits the movement of the heat-sensitive portion and the translationally movable portion outside of the recess to avoid breaking the tight seal.

Claim (Index 9):
The mixing unit according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises a control member, the mixer comprising a mixing chamber containing a set of mixing discs, which are made from ceramic, and at least one of which is actuated by the control member, to control the respective flow rate of the first incoming stream and the second incoming stream and to adjust both the temperature and the flow rate of the output stream by acting on the control lever.
