Abstract
The present invention relates to a sanitary fitting having a fitting house and having a control cartridge which is arranged in the latter. The control cartridge has a control shank which is pivotably mounted in the control cartridge. On the control shank is displaceably mounted an actuating lever which can be pivoted up and down between a closed position and an open position in order thus to control the water flow. Furthermore, a plate is mounted at one end on the guide element and at the other end on an axis of rotation which is fixedly arranged with respect to the pivot axis and which is parallel thereto. By means of this arrangement, during the pivoting of the actuating lever from the closed position in the direction toward the open position, said actuating lever is also moved in the direction away from the control shank and, in the direction of the cartridge axis, away from the fitting housing.
