A mixing faucet () includes a casing () having a hot water inlet opening (), a cold water inlet opening (), and an outlet opening (); a control valve element () slidably mounted in the casing (); a temperature adjusting screw () rotatably disposed in the casing (); a slider () sliding in the casing () through rotation of the temperature adjusting screw (); a bias spring () disposed in the casing (), between the control valve element () and the slider (), and biasing the control valve element () toward the cold water inlet opening (); a temperature sensing spring () which biases the control valve element () toward the hot water inlet opening (); and a pull-up spring () for biasing the control valve element () toward the hot water inlet opening ().

Mixing faucet

A device is provided to prevent the autorotation of the temperature adjustment handle in an automatic hot and cold water mixing valve. A member is prevented from moving in the circumferential direction of the body and is pressed in the radial direction by a spring against the periphery of an adjusting screw receiver, which forms the rotation shaft of the temperature adjustment handle incorporated in the body. Alternatively, the member is dressed against a connecting sleeve connected to the adjusting screw receiver and the temperature adjustment handle. The member is pressed with sufficient force to oppose autorotation in the temperature adjusting handle when the temperature is set.

The body of an automatic water combination faucet has, as separate parts, an outer cylinder with the cylindrical wall thereof having assembling hole portions for assembling connectors connected to the hot water, water and combination water lines and an inner cylinder housing accommodating a mixing valve unit. The inner cylinder housing is formed by casting or the like, and has, as integral and continuous parts, a main portion accommodating the mixing valve unit, a passage-defining portion in the form of a line for leading hot water to the main portion, and a passage-defining portion in the form of a duct line for leading out combination water. A separate cap which surrounds an adjustment screw unit of the mixing valve unit is engagedly coupled to the main portion. The passage-defining portions of the inner cylinder housing have respective open ends, which can be aligned, with the inner cylinder housing fitted in the outer cylinder, to the hot water lead-in and combination water lead-out assembling hole portions in an abutting relation thereto. The peripheral wall of the main portion has an opening for leading in water.

A switch assembly for an electric system for a motor vehicle such as a motorcycle including an ignition circuit and a starting motor circuit. A first switching member is disposed in the ignition circuit for controlling an operation of a ignition system. A second switching member is disposed in the starting motor circuit, for controlling a current for a starting motor. An interrelating member is provided between the first and second switching members so that the first switching member is necessarily switched to a switch position for actuating the ignition system when the second switching member is operated to actuate the starting motor.
