Abstract:
A cartridge has first and second separate base portions axially vertically adjacent in a stationary manner relative to one another. The first and second base portions have first and second opposing axial surfaces, such that the second surface of the first base portion and the first surface of the second base portion are applied axially against one another and include respective portions in axial contact with one another, which form a sealed joining interface between the first and second base portions. The cartridge also has a thermostat, as well as a slide valve connected to the body of the thermostat for controlling the temperature of the mixture of fluids, which moves along the axis of the base inside the first base portion to vary inversely the respective flow sections of a first passage for the first fluid and of a second passage for the second fluid.

Claim (Index 1):
A thermostatic cartridge for controlling cold and hot fluids to be mixed, comprising:\n a base, which defines an axis and which includes first and second base parts which are separate and axially superimposed so as to be fixed on one another, each of the first and second base parts having first and second opposite axial faces such that the second face of the first base part and the first face of the second base part are axially pressed against one another and thus include respective parts, in axial contact with one another, that form a junction interface between the first and second base parts that is sealed, this first base part delimiting a first inlet orifice for a first of the cold and hot fluids, as well as a second inlet orifice for the second fluid, the first and second inlet orifices emerging separately on the first face of the first base part, the second base part delimiting an outlet orifice for a mixture of the cold and hot fluids; a thermostat, which includes a piston, connected to the base, and a body, containing a thermodilatable material and positioned in the outlet orifice, the piston and the body being movable relative to one another substantially along the axis under the effect of expansion of the thermodilatable material; and a spool for regulating the temperature of the mixture, which has first and second opposite axial faces, respectively turned toward the first face of the first base part and toward the second face of the second base part, and which is connected to the body of the thermostat to be moved substantially along the axis inside the first base part so as to inversely vary the respective flow sections of a first passage for the first fluid and a second passage for the second fluid, this first passage being axially delimited between the first axial face of the spool and the first base part and is supplied by the first inlet orifice, and this second passage being axially delimited between the second face of the spool and the second base part and being supplied by the second orifice via a distribution channel for distributing the second fluid around the spool, this distribution channel for the second fluid being formed between the second face of the first base part and the first face of the second base part.
