Abstract (en)

A water tap, Figure 1, has a headwork 34, which converts angular movement of the manually operated control member 44 into axial movement of the valve member 36, located inside a tubular body 10 and below the wall 12 on which the tap is mounted. This enables the knob to be of a particularly shallow height above that mounting wall.
