    摘要: Selection valve suitable for a beverage machine comprising: a valve body; hot water inlet 49; air inlet 51; at least one outlet (77,133, figure 7B); a selector member (21, figure 5) movable between a first and second position; whereby first position connecting hot water inlet 49 and the at least one outlet (77,133, figure 7B); second position connecting both hot water inlet 49 and air inlet 51 with the at least one outlet (77,133, figure 7B); A satellite member 79 with predefined limited relative free movement with respect to the selector member (21, figure 5) for positioning satellite element 79 independently between the first and second positions. The satellite element 79 is associated with a cam element for operating a stop bracket 93. The selector member (21, figure 5) may comprise two parts 83, 85 unmovably mounted in a holder. The valve includes a hot-water by-pass and vent. Other Aspects define the valve for use in a mixing unit as part of a beverage preparation machine which accepts ingredient supply cartridges. Advantageously, the number of valves in a beverage machine is reduced. An embodiment refers to a coffee machine.

    摘要: A ceramic valve unit for a beverage machine including a housing, a water inlet pipe for receiving hot water, an outflow opening, and first and second ceramic elements within the housing. The first and second ceramic elements each have mutually abutting surfaces and are relatively movable in a plane common to the abutting surfaces. The plane common to the abutting surfaces is downstream of the water inlet pipe and the first ceramic element, but upstream of the second ceramic element and the outflow opening. The first ceramic element has at least differently sized first and second openings for allowing a liquid flow there through. The second ceramic element has only a single liquid flow opening permanently aligned with the outflow opening. The first ceramic element is selectively slidable between at least first and second different positions preferably in a path of movement about a centre of rotation beyond the boundaries of the first ceramic element.
