said dragging device ( 4 ) comprising a pair of pegs ( 45 , 46 ) slidably arranged in said pair of slots ( 35 , 36 ) of said rod support ( 3 ) such that a movement of said deviator device being driven and obtained by fixed paths of said pair of pegs ( 45 , 46 ) within said pair of slots ( 35 , 36 ) arranged between said rod support ( 3 ) and said dragging device ( 4 ).

2. A deviator device, according to claim 1 , wherein said dragging device ( 4 ) is applied to said moving plate ( 9 ) of a cartridge body of said mixing cartridge ( 100 ) into which water inflows from said first hole ( 133 ) of a seal ( 13 ) on a bottom of said mixing cartridge ( 100 ), and the water flows through a container ( 12 ) of the mixing cartridge ( 100 ), and through a hole ( 111 ) of an inner seal ( 11 ), and through a hole ( 110 ) of a fixed plate ( 10 ), and outflows, through the moving plate ( 9 ), according to a selection, from one of two slots ( 108 , 109 ) of the fixed plate ( 10 ), then returning to the bottom through one of said pair of second holes ( 138 , 139 ) arranged on the seal ( 13 ).

3. A a deviator device, according to claim 1 , wherein said dragging device ( 104 ) is applied to said moving plate ( 9 ) of a cartridge body of said mixing cartridge ( 100 ) with opening/closing carried out only by a rotary motion.

4. A deviator device, according to claim 1 , wherein said dragging device ( 104 ) is fixed to said moving plate ( 9 ) of a cartridge body of said mixing cartridge ( 100 ) into which hot and cold water inflows through said pair of second holes ( 138 , 139 ) of an external seal ( 13 ) on a bottom of said mixing cartridge ( 100 ), and the water flows through a container ( 12 ) of the mixing cartridge ( 100 ), through two slots of an inner seal ( 11 ), through two slots ( 108 and 109 ) of a fixed plate ( 10 ) of the cartridge body of said mixing cartridge ( 100 ) and outflows, through a cavity of the moving plate ( 9 ), and through a hole ( 110 ) of the fixed plate ( 10 ) to return to the bottom through a hole ( 111 ) of the inner seal ( 11 ) and through the container ( 12 ) and through a hole ( 133 ) of the external seal ( 13 ).

5. A deviator device, according to claim 1 , wherein said dragging device ( 4 ) further comprises a projection ( 47 ) slidable in a groove ( 57 ) of the cover ( 5 ), said pair of pegs ( 45 , 46 ) of said dragging device ( 4 ) being constrained to move respectively in said pair of slots ( 35 , 36 ) of the rod support ( 3 ), according to predetermined paths.

6. A deviator device, according to claim 5 , wherein said rod support ( 3 ) further comprises a third peg ( 34 ) which is free to move along a slot ( 44 ) of said dragging device ( 4 ).

7. A deviator device, according to claim 6 , wherein said dragging device ( 4 ) comprises at least one fixing projection ( 48 ) for integrally fixing said dragging device ( 4 ) to said moving plate ( 9 ) of said cartridge ( 100 ).
