    [3] Is equipped with a fate limiter that adapts the fate to the area of use. Thus At present it is common for mixers when installing for a specific purpose to be used in the installation des fate limiter which regulates fl the fate of water to be e.g. 6 l / min for a mixer at a sink, while fl the fate of a kitchen mixer can be set to 9 l / min and for a mixer in a washroom 12 l / min. The known fate limiters may be in the form of a single tray with a predetermined flow area which determines a specific fate. These fl fate limiters with specific fl fates are made within the technical council with different colors, where a single color corresponds to an embodiment with a certain fl fate (See, for example, patent specification EP1918465). The flow restrictor can either be mounted in the mixer spout (outlet) or in a jet collector mounted at its outlet.
    [4] An installer must, when installing a mixer or when updating a mixer product, be equipped with the alternative fl fate limiters that may be considered, ie. with fl fate limiter that has intended fl fate (corresponding to a certain color marking).
    [5] Both the fate of water or other liquid and the amount of admixture of air in the fate can For sanitary facilities, a control device has been presented for the fate of a luminaire where it is regulated. This device is presented in patent specification US 2011/303309.
    [7] A further aspect of the invention is to present an adjustable speed limiter to eliminate the need to choose between different speed limiting devices adapted to the area of use when installing or upgrading mixers as described above.
    [8] Achieve constant fate even with pressure variations of the mixer's incoming water.
    [9] Device with means for supplying air to water fl destiny.
    [10] Pressure variations, are integrated in the fate limiter.
    [11] According to an example, the adjustability of the fate is arranged so that a tool, for example a screwdriver or bit, is used to turn an actuator in the fate limiter to positions involving defined maximum fl fates through the fate limiter. Markings indicate which mode is set. A groove for the tool is accessible from the outside of the fl limiter, when it is detached and removed from its assembly at an outlet in the mixer.
    [12] As an example, the fate limiter can be arranged for maximizing fate until different adjustable values, such as 6 l / min, 9 l / min and 12 l / min. Through this arrangement, the same fate limiter can be used for different areas of use, such as in kitchens, washrooms and at sinks in bathrooms and toilets, where the choice of maximum flow is easily made by setting the actuator to the maximum flow desired for the specific use. As a result, different sizes of fate-regulating washers for different maximum destinies do not have to be carried by a single installer when adapting a mixer to its area of use. As mentioned, such trays used in technology can have different colors to define which flow applies to the fate-regulating trays.
    [13] Independent claim 1.
    [14] Further aspects of the invention are shown via the dependent claims.
    [15] A further aspect of the invention is characterized by the method of the independent claim 13.
    [17] Figure 1 and Figure 7 illustrate a couple of examples of a complete fate limiter according to the invention. As mentioned, a fate limiter 1 according to the invention can be mounted at the wide outlet of a mixer for kitchen, laundry or bathroom fittings. The outlet can be located at a fixed outlet pipe from such a mixer, or be located upstream of a jet collector arranged in connection with such an outlet pipe. In various alternatives for making a fate limiter 1, this is mounted in a cylindrical shell 2 belonging to the mixer or a jet collector.
    [18] 3a, 3b periphery runs a plane fl as 4. Around and enclosing the flange 4 is a gasket 5 Inside the shell 2 a seat 3a, 3b is mounted along a cross section of the shell 2. Along the seat is mounted. This gasket 5 in fact constitutes the unit which fixes the seat 3a, 3b inside the shell 2 and determines the position in axial direction of the seat relative to the shell 2. In the example shown the gasket 5 rests on a circumferential shelf 2a which runs along the inside of the shell 2 .
    [19] 7 which are placed annularly outside and around the center hole 6. The flow channels The seat 3a, 3b has a center hole 6 and is further provided with flow channels 7 allowing flow through the seat 3a, 3b. An annular wall 8a, 8b extends around the periphery of the seat 3a, 3b about the outside of the flow channels 7 placed in a ring. The wall 8a, 8 extends from the base plane of the seat, perpendicular thereto, and countercurrent to the flow direction. through the fl fate limiter).
    [20] The filter head designated 10a a base 11a. In a second variant of the invention, the Figures show a filter head 10a, 10b. In a first variant of the invention, the filter head with the designation 10b has such a base. Instead, this second filter head 10b is formed in the lower part only with a cylindrical ring 11b enclosing the wall 8b with a press fit. Above and connecting to the base 11a and the cylindrical ring 11, respectively, a dome-shaped filter 12 springs. By "over" is meant here countercurrent to the direction of fate. The device-shaped filter 12 can be designed in many different ways. The term dome format refers to all kinds of filter shapes that have a decreasing cross-sectional area towards the flow direction. Termendorn-shaped should also include the shape of truncated cones. The upper part of the dome-shaped filter 12 is preferably flat, but may have other shapes. The filter 12 is provided with holes or meshes along its surfaces. The holes can be oblong, round or oval. In the center of the flat upper part of the mandrel-shaped filter 12 there is a circular surface 13a, 13b with or without filter holes. Inside the filter head 10a, 10b and resting on the seat 3a, 3b is a substantially annular body which according to the invention serves as a control device and occurs in two embodiments with reference numbers 20a, resp. 20b. The body is hereinafter referred to by the term regulator because it constitutes a component used to regulate the fate of the fate limiter 1, which will be described in more detail below. The regulator 20a, 20b is located so that it has its longitudinal axis coinciding with the axes of symmetry of the shell 2 and the seat 3a, 3b. Along the axis of the regulator 20a, 20b runs a cylindrical hole 21. The body of the regulator 20a, 20b has on its outside a circumferential surface 22, 43 facing the wall 8a, 8b in the seat 3a resp. 3b. Furthermore, the control device 20a, 20b is arranged to be displaceable in the axial direction, i.e. it can be lifted from its position on the seat 3a, 3b and up towards the circular surface 13a, 13b of the filter head 10a, 10b. Between the inside of the wall 8a, 8b in the seat 3a, 3b and the mantle surface 22, 43 of the control device 20a, 20b, an annular cavity is formed. In this annular cavity, an o-ring 24 is placed in a plane across the axis of symmetry of the regulator 20a, 20b. The O-ring 24 is arranged to abut the inside of the annular cavity with its periphery with the periphery of the wall 8a, 8b and to be displaceable in the axial direction relative to the inside of the wall 8a in a first version of the fate limiter 1. In another version of the fate limiter 1 the O-ring 24 is fixed next to the inside of the wall 8b, in which place the mantle surface 43 of the control device, in this case the control device 20b, is intended to be displaceable in the axial direction relative to the O-ring. In this second embodiment, the O-ring 24 with its circular inside is only facing the mantle surface 43 of the control device 20b, i.e. not fixed to its mantle surface. The inner diameter of the O-ring is thus adapted in this second version so that it can slide along its inside along the mantle surface 43 of the control device 20b, when the control device 20b is displaced in the axial direction. In the described variants of embodiment, the O-ring 24 is thus shown to be displaceable in the axial direction relative to the outer wall 8a of the annular cavity (variant 1), resp. its inner wall 43 (variant 2).
    [23] In this version, reference is made to the filter head with the number 10a, since the filter head in this case In the following a first version of the fate limiter is described (see Figs. 1, 5, 6). at its base is formed with a flat annular ring 11a along the periphery of the filter head. The filter head 10a is connected to the seat 3a, so that its annular ring 11a abuts the seat 3a fl and 4. The annular gasket 5 has a circular groove 5a which faces inwards and is open inwards towards the center of the gasket. When the filter head 10a and the seat 3a are abutting, the gasket 5 is arranged so that the seat 3a 4 of the 4 and the filter head wreath 11a are inserted in the groove 5a of the gasket. As a result, the ring 11a and flange 4 of the filter head 4 are tightly pressed together by the package 5 which encloses said ring 11a and flange 4 along their circumference. The gasket 5 will be pressed against the said shelf 2a, partly by the water pressure, partly, if desired, by an annular elastic insert which is placed in the empty circular space above the gasket 5 in figure 1. The insert is pressed against the gasket 5, when the shell 2 is screwed against an outlet pipe for water.
    [25] As a control device arranged to be accommodated in the filter head 10a. The control device 20a has at its base The control device 20a (Fig. 3) is in the first variant of the fate limiter 1 formed an annular collar 23. In the exemplary design the control device 20a has an axial cylindrical hole 211 which is intended to comprise the pin 14 in the filter head 10a, the controller 20a will be slidable axially along the symmetry axis of the filter head 10a. An axially longitudinal recess, a groove 27, in the inner wall of the regulator 20a, in its cylindrical hole 211, is arranged to receive the guide 15, whereby the regulator 20a cannot rotate relative to the filter head 10a about that of the regulator 20a and the filter head 10a. symmetriaXeln. The O-ring 24, the function of which is described below, is applied to the annular collar 23.
    [26] Designed. These gutters 9 are open inwards towards the center of the seat 3a and face the regulator. Along the inside of the wall 8a (Fig. 2) in the first version a number of gutters 9 20a are mantle surface 22. The gutters 9 run in axial direction along the entire wall 8 of the seat. 9 is connected to the flow channels 7. Preferably, the gutters 9 are equidistant. An important factor according to the aspect of the invention is that the gutters 9 have an increasing cross-sectional area in the direction of fate. The increasing area of the gutters 9 can in one embodiment be achieved by a step-increasing area (this embodiment is shown in the attached figures). Thus, if the fate limiter 1 has 3 predefined maximum destinies, the grooves 9 have three corresponding sizes on their cross-sectional areas. In the following, the design of the flow limiter 1 eXemplified with 3valentable max fl fates. However, there is nothing to prevent your selectable maximum fates from being set up. The components that then work together to set maximum flows are adapted to handle n selectable values of the desired selectable max values. However, the number of possible gutters is limited by the space.
    [27] Between the seat 3a and the control device 20a an actuator 30 is arranged (see Fig. 4). This actuator 30 can be constructed with a base plate 31 in the center of which a circular cylindrical lifting pin 32 is perpendicular and axially designed, facing the control device 20a and inserted into the hole 21 in the control device 20a. The base plate 31 has a smaller diameter on its downstream side facing the seat 3a, and is adapted so that the part of the base plate 31 with this smaller diameter is immersed in and connects a sliding fit to the center hole 6 in the seat 3a. On the side of the base plate 31 facing the regulator 20a, the diameter of the base plate is larger and thus a circumferential seam of the base plate 31 is shown, so that it will act as a tight-fitting lid when the actuator 30 is placed in the center hole 6 of the seat 3a, where the actuator rests on the seat 3a through that the circumferential seam supports the seat. When the maximum width of the flow restrictor is to be set to the desired value, the fate restrictor 1 is picked out of its shell 2, the surface 33 of the base plate 31 facing the seat being visible and accessible from the outside of the flow restrictor, since the surface 33 protrudes through the center hole 6 in the seat 3a. In the normal case, with a maximum fate of a mixer already selected, the intended user should not be able to change the settings of the fate limiter 1. It will thus be hidden inside further devices downstream of the fate limiter 1, such as nets, jet collectors or means for air mixing.
    [28] The protruding guide pin 32 is arranged to abut with its end 32a against the lower end 14a of the pin 14 in the filter head 10a to lift the filter head 10a slightly when setting the maximum value. The lifting of the filter head 10a is made possible by the base of the filter head 10a, the ring 11a, enclosed by the gasket 5, being able to stretch the gasket 5 due to its elasticity. The lifting pin 32 has a sliding fit against the inner wall of the cylindrical hole 21 of the regulator 20a. 30 is rotatably arranged relative to the control device 20a.
    [29] At the base of the guide pin 32 and outside of the cylindrical guide pin 32 and on the base plate 31, a raised tongue 34a is arranged. On the underside of the regulator 20a (i.e., its downstream side) in an area within the collar 23, there are diametrically opposed platforms 28 and diametrically opposed first notches 29a and diametrically opposed second notches 29b. Opposite platforms 28 are flat and located on a lowest plane in the area of the controller 20a11 inside the collar 23 while the first notches 29a have a first depth up in the goods of the controller 20a and the second notches 29b a second depth, greater than the first depth, up in the controller 20a goods. The notches 29a and 29b are formed to correspond to the shape of the receiving tongue 34a, which meant that the tongue 34a can penetrate into the respective tongue. notches 29a, 29b, when the actuator 30 is rotated. In the exemplary embodiment, the diameters of the opposite platforms 28, the first notches 29a and the second notches 29b are offset 120 DEG relative to each other about the axis of symmetry. This arrangement causes the tongue 34a of the actuator 30 to abut against the platforms 28 and thereby displace the control member 20a to a highest position relative to the seat 3. When the actuator 30 is rotated 120 ° so that the tongue 34a penetrates into the first notches 29a, the control member 20a sinks down to a intermediate position. Finally, when the actuator 30 is further rotated 120 ° so that the tongue 34a penetrates into the second recesses 29b, the control device 20a sinks down to a lowest position, since the tongue 34a penetrates deepest into the interior of the control device 20a in this position.
    [30] The regulator 20a will be set in the axial direction at one of three different adjustable levels, whereby the platforms 28 and the notches 29a and 29b, respectively, have different depths, the regulator is in its highest position when the tongue 34a abuts directly against the platforms 28 and in its lowest position when the tongue 34a engages with the deepest of the notches, i.e. deandra the notches 29b. By highest (up) is meant here towards the direction of fate and lowest (down) refers in the direction of fate. The consequence of this is that with the regulator in its highest position and thus the collar 23 in its highest position, the O-ring 24 on the collar 23 will be level with the least of three, according to the example, selectable cross-sectional areas of channels formed between the gutters 9 and the periphery of The O-ring 24, which abuts the inside of the seat wall 8a. In the middle position, the O-ring 24 will be level with a middle selectable cross-sectional area of the channels, and consequently a largest selectable cross-sectional area of said channels will be formed when the O-ring 24 is in its lowest position, i.e. when the actuator 30 has the adjusting device 20a in its lowest position where its collar 23 abuts the base of the seat 3a. For example, the gutters 9 may be formed with stepwise increasing areas in the direction of fate in order to provide clearly defined cross-sectional areas for the channels formed with the gutters 9 and the periphery of the O-ring 24 as delimiters. The actuator 30 is fixed in the set position in the direction of rotation by locking lugs 35 in the underside of the base plate 31 against the notch 36 on the upper side of the seat 3a next to the center hole 6. In another embodiment, the choice of channel areas can be determined by continuously increasing cross-sectional areas is only by locking the selected position of the actuator by means of the lugs 35. The pin 14a in the fate limiter 10a abuts against the end 32a of the guide pin 32. When adjusting At one of the set maximum currents for the speed limiter, the end 14c of the permissible maximum flow through the speed limiter 1, the actuator 30 will move upwards (countercurrent direction), as the lugs 35 slide up on the surface of the seat 3. As a result, the central surface l3 of the filter head will be pushed up slightly. When the lugs 35 then engage at a set position, the lugs 35 are pressed back down against the notch 36 of the seat 3. Thus, the pressure from the filter head 10a holds the actuator in the set position.
    [32] To the filter head with the number l0b, since the filter head in this case has no base here. The second version of the fate limiter l is described. In this version, collar is referred to as in version 1. The base llb is here designed as a cylindrical ring which encloses single wall 8b of the seat 3b in assembled position. The wall 8b, which extends annularly along the periphery of the seat and directed countercurrently from the bottom of the seat 3b, has a shelf 8c facing the center. On this shelf 8c rests an o-ring 24.
    [33] Inwards towards the center of the gasket. The gasket 5 is arranged so that the seat 4b fl end 4 is inserted into The annular gasket 5 has a circular groove 5a facing inwards and is open to the groove 5a of the gasket. The gasket 5 will be pressed against the said shelf 2a in a shell 2 in a manner corresponding to version 1 of the invention.
    [34] Cylindrical pin 14b in the direction of fate. The function of the pin 14b is to guide in the axial direction a From the upper part of the filter head 10b, with the circular surface 13b, an actuator 50 extends, which has a projection 51 in the form of a cylindrical tube surrounding the pin 14b, the actuator being displaceable along the pin l4b. The actuator 50 and its function are described in more detail below. From the upper part of the filter head 10b also a number of wings 15b extend downwards, i.e. in the direction of fate. These wings are arranged to be received by slots 20d formed in the axial direction of the control device 20b, so that this cannot be rotated about the symmetry axis of the limiter 1.
    [35] Annular body with a central hole 211 extending in the axial direction. The annular body, the regulator 20b, is in the second variant of the fate limiter 1 designed as a ie. the controller 20b, has a base 42 and a substantially circular-cylindrical wall 43, also called the mantle surface of the controller 20b, along the periphery of the base 42. This circular-cylindrical wall 43 extends from the base 42 upwards in the fate direction of liquid flowing through the fate limiter 1. The base 42 faces the base plate 31 of the above-mentioned actuator 50 and is arranged so that the hole 21 receives the projection 51, which extends upwards towards and partially the pin 14b of the filter head 10b. The axes of symmetry of the regulator 20b and the actuator 50 coincide. The regulator 20b has, along the outside of the wall, the mantle surface 43, grooves 44 formed in the axial direction, i.e. arranged along the fl direction of fate for a water de fate. These grooves 44 are open radially outwards and thus face the o-ring 24 which rests on the shelf 8c of the seat 3b.
    [36] Unfortunately, the grooves 44 are equidistant. An important aspect according to the aspect of the invention is that the gutters 44 are connected to the flow channels 7 in the seat 3b. Prefer 44 has an increasing cross-sectional area in the fl direction of fate. The increasing area of the gutters 44 can in one embodiment be achieved by a stepped increasing area (this embodiment is shown in the appended figures). Thus, if the fate limiter 1 has 3 predefined maximum flows, the grooves 44 have three sizes corresponding to the maximum fate of their cross-sectional areas. In the following, the execution of the fate limiter 1 is exemplified by 3 selectable max destinies. However, there is nothing to prevent your selectable maximum fates from being set up. The components that then work together to set maximum flows are adapted to handle n selectable values of desired selectable maximum values.
    [37] Be configured as the actuator 30 in variant 1 of the invention, with the difference that between the seat 3b and the control device 20b an actuator 50 is arranged. This actuator 50 can the device 50 in variant 2 of the invention has the said tubular projection 51, depicted above, instead of the so-called guide pin 32. The tongue 34a in version 1 is in version 2 of the invention only present on one side of the projection 51 at its base . Otherwise, the function and the detailed description for the two variants of actuators 30 and 50 are in principle the same, ie. with the function of displacing the regulator in the axial direction. Actuators 30 resp. 50 and its cooperation with the control device 20a, resp. 20b thus shows means for said displacement of the control device 30, 50.
    [38] Variant 2 of the invention. This function is best described with reference to Fig. 8 where the function for the interaction between actuator 50 and control device 20b is described here for the underside of the control device 20b is shown in a perspective. 11
    [39] 46, 47 designed to be flat downwards to receive and cooperate with the top of the tongue 34b. Figure 8 shows that the underside of the control device 20b has along its periphery 3 platforms 45, part. The tongue 34b can be rotated about the axis of the flow restrictor 1 and can in a first position (shown at the top in Figs. 9 and 10) abut against the top of the platform 45 of the control device. In this position of the control device 20b, the channels bounded by the walls of the gutters 44 and the O-ring 24 have their smallest cross-sectional area, the fate limiter 1 being set to the smallest selectable fate, marked with position 1 according to Figure 10b. Figure 10a shows that the gap between the gutters 44 and the O-ring has its minimum width. The flow in this mode can correspond to 4 to 5 liters / min.
    [40] 2 dots in Fig. 10b, the tongue 34b will follow the path a (Fig. 8) and be lockable so that the tongue When the arrow 37 in the bottom of the actuator is rotated by means of a tool to position 2 marked with 34b, the platform 46 abuts in the bottom of the regulator. The control device 20 will thereby sink down to a lower plane in the speed limiter 1 (Fig. 10a). In this position for the control device 20b, the channels bounded by the walls of the gutters 44 and the O-ring 24 have their middle cross-sectional area, the fate limiter 1 being set to the middle of selectable fates, which may correspond to 6 to 7 liters / min. Figure 10a shows that the gap between the grooves 44 and the O-ring has its central width.
    [41] When the arrow 37 in the bottom of the actuator is rotated by means of a tool to position 3 marked with 3 dots in Fig. 10b, the tongue 34b will follow the path b (Fig. 8) and be lockable so that the tongue 34b abuts the platform 47 in the bottom of the regulator. The control device 20 will thereby sink down to its lowest plane in the speed limiter 1 (Fig. 10a). In this position of the control device 20b, the channels bounded by the walls of the gutters 44 and the O-ring 24 have their largest cross-sectional area, the fate limiter 1 being set to the highest of selectable fates, which may correspond to 8 to 9 liters / min (or more depending on design). Figure 10a shows that the gap between the gutters 44 and the O-ring has its greatest width.
    [42] Upon rotation of the actuator further from position 3 to position 1, the tongue 34b follows the path c (Fig. 8) and resumes its position abutting against the platform 45. When the actuator has assumed one of its positions of positions 1 to 3. Is the actuator locked by that the lugs 35 engage notch 36 on the upper side of the bottom of the seat 3b next to the hole 6. A spring 48 arranged on the pin 14b of the intermediate filter head 10b and the inner bottom of the projection 51 of the actuator 20b presses the actuator 50 and the regulator 20b against the seat 3b. This also means that during rotation the actuator 20b must be forced up a small distance to be free from the locking between lugs 35hack 36. The spring 48 allows this raising of the actuator so that it can be released from its locking position. When setting a new position 1 to 3 for the actuator, this is locked again by means of lugs35 and notches 36.
    [43] In an alternative embodiment, the adjustment of the level of the control device 20a, 20b (instead of the use of tongue 34a, 34b) can be effected by arranging a trapezoidal female thread along the circumferential surface of the cylindrical guide pin 32, resp. the committee's 51 mantle surface. A corresponding male thread is then formed along the cylindrical hole 21 in the control device. As an alternative, a protruding pin in the cylindrical hole 21 can follow the female thread, where the pin can be given a stopping position at small ledges in the female thread. In yet another embodiment, an inclined plane is formed in a single-cut spiral along the guide pin 32, resp. the committee's 51 mantle surface. The said pin in the hole 21 can then be arranged to be fixed in a fixed position on ledges arranged and distributed along the inclined plane. When, in these alternative embodiments, the actuator is rotated, the regulator 20a, 20b will be displaced in the axial direction by forcing the corresponding male thread, or pin, in the regulator 20a, 20b to move axially by actuation of the female thread, alternatively inclined plane, in the guide pin 32. Locks the actuator to one of the desired fixed positions as above.
    [44] In the surface 33 of the actuator 30 which is accessible when the flow restrictor 1 is removed from its shell 2, grooves 37 are accommodated for a tool such as a screwdriver, wrench or bit, whereby the actuator can be rotated with the tool. Furthermore, an arrow-shaped marking 38 for a single user can show the direction for setting the selectable maximum fate, where markings 40 corresponding to the selectable maximum fate can be punched or otherwise made in the seat 3a, 3b from the visible surface.
    [45] The actuator 30 and the seat 3a are mounted relative to each other around one of these components. Figures 5 and 6 show how the components the filter head 10a, the control device 20a, the common symmetryXel. Here it can also be seen that the seat 3a is provided with a groove 39a at a position on the outside of the annular wall 5a. A bulge 40a at a position on the inside of the annular base 11a of the filter head 10a is intended to engage the groove 39a of the housing seat 3a. As a result, the filter head 10a and the seat 3a will be locked against each other with respect to rotation about the symmetry axis.
    [46] And the seat 3b is mounted in relation to each other around a common to these components. Figure 9 shows how the components the filter head 10b, the control device 20b, the actuator 50 13 axis of symmetry. Here it can also be understood that the seat 3b is provided with a bulge 40b at a position on the outer side 8 of the annular wall 8. A groove 39b at a lower position of the annular base 11b of the filter head 10b is intended to engage the bulge 40b of the seat 3b. Hereby the filter head 10b and the seat 3b will be locked against each other with respect to rotation about the axis of symmetry.
    [47] The upper side of the filter head 10a, 10b where any debris in the det is filtered out. The water fl destroys When water is released through the fl fate limiter 1, the kommer fate will pass from further into the interior of the filter head and flow along the outside of the regulator 20a, 20b and through the channels formed by the gutters 9 resp. 44 and further down the through-flow channels 7 in the seat 3a, 3b. Depending on the setting of the selectable positions of the regulator 20a, 20b in the axial direction, the maximum fl fate of the water is determined.
    [48] (Ie its downstream side) further out towards the outlet of the mixer 41. As can be seen in Figure 1, the water flows out from the underside of the flow restrictor 1 and is connected to other accessories, such as to a jet collector where air is mixed into water jet downstream fl the fate limiter 1. Furthermore, such a beam collector can be directed by means of a single joint according to the prior art. Figure 1 shows that the shell 2, inside which the fate limiter 1 is arranged, is threaded in its upper part, which symbolizes that the shell 2 together with the insert in the form of the fate limiter 1 can be connected to and form an outlet of a mixer.
    [49] Integrated with a pressure-sensing control that maintains the set maximum flow. This function According to an aspect of the invention, the adjustable speed limiter 1 can not be of value, for example in properties with fl your floors, where the water pressure in a higher level can be significantly lower than in a ground level in the property. When such pressure differences prevail, the set maximum i fate in a mixer on a higher plane would not correspond to what is actually at hand. According to the device shown, this is regulated automatically by means of the O-ring 24.
    [50] The plane in a property affects the water pressure O-ring 24 with a pressure in the fl direction of fate, so that At the set maximum position for a fl fate at a certain water pressure (say 6 Bar) at least this is compressed and expands both radially outwards and radially towards its center. As a result, with increasing water pressure, the O-ring 24 will bend slightly into the gutters and thereby reduce the cross-sectional area of the channels through which water flows. With decreasing water pressure, the relationship is the opposite. A certain expansion of the O-ring can be determined at a certain defined water pressure, for example 6 Bar, whereby the desired maximum fl is obtained at the 14 defined water pressure, where the area of the said channels inside the gutters 9, 44 is predetermined. If now a fl fate limiter is installed and set to the same maximum flow on a higher right floor, e.g. on the 10th floor of a property, the water pressure there will be lower than 6 Bar. In this situation, the lower pressure will mean that the O-ring 24 on the right floor is not flattened as much by the water pressure as the corresponding O-ring 24 on the lowest floor. As a result, the O-ring 24 on the higher floor does not penetrate the property as deep into the channels inside the gutters 9, 44 as in the lowest floor, whereby the channels at the set value for the maximum kommer will automatically have a larger area and thereby be compensated for it. lower the water pressure and thus maintain the set damax fl fate. The flow restrictor according to the invention thus has both an adjustable maximum flow and automatic correction for varying water pressure in supply lines for water to the mixer provided with a fate limiter 1 according to the invention.
    [51] 12 has an axial extension. This means that debris and dirt that collects in the filter 12 An additional advantage of the fate limiter as above is that the deformed filter first settles along the lowest level and from there builds up a layer of dirt outside the filter12 and which over time can become thick and more or less stop water flow. However, this can take a long time before the dirt layer completely covers the entire filter 12, due to the axial extent of the filter. In most prior art filters, filters are used which are only transversely to the cross-section, whereby stoppage of flow occurs even with a thin layer of dirt over the filter surface.
    [52] The invention is characterized in that it also comprises a method according to: for water which can flow through the mixer, wherein the fate limiter across an outlet of the mixer has a seat 3a , 3b arranged with gutters 9, 44 which have an increasing cross-sectional area in a direction of fate for the water, where the method is characterized by the steps: an actuator 30, 50 is moved to a certain number of selectable fixed positions for maximum permissible fate through the mixer, the actuator 30, 50 wherein a control device 20a, 20b to be displaced along the grooves 9, 44 and locked to a position which sets channels between the grooves 9, 44 and the control device 20a, 20b to obtain a total fl fate area which allows a maximum fl fate corresponding to the fl fate to which the actuator is set. .
