ABSTRACT:
A single lever mixing faucet is disclosed of the type generally used as a household sink faucet. The lever is operated by hand and controls individual diaphragm valves by plungers which are actuated by a cam operated by the lever, the cam having a wedge actuator connected to be moved by the lever in two orthogonally related directions and combinations thereof upon manual movement of the lever. The wedge actuator is mounted for essentially planar movement without rotation and has flat cam surfaces engaging flat ends of said plunger to move the plungers and control the rate of flow of water as well as the relative proportions of hot and cold water.
