ABSTRACT:
A mixing valve mechanism which is operable by a clockwork mechanism has a valve member which is movable in a valve chamber of the housing for opening and closing an outlet passage. The valve member has an upwardly extending follower portion which engages against a cam plate which is rotatably mounted in the housing above the follower. Spring means are provided for urging the follower of the valve member into engagement with the cam, and the cam has a control surface which during a portion of rotation of the cam moves the valve member downwardly into a closed position and which during another portion permits it to move upwardly under the action of the return spring. A handle member is mounted on the housing, and it is coupled by coupling means to the cam to rotate the cam to drive the clockwork during a portion of the rotational movement of the handle member and to lower valve member to close the passage during another portion of the movement. In addition, the clockwork mechanism can drive back through the cam to permit the valve member to move upwardly in a return direction to the outlet passage after the clock mechanism has timed the cam movement.
