Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention allows the supply of a fluid such as water to the spool, the fluid passes the mounting surface, then the spool, operates the spool by a control handle rotating about an axis parallel to the mounting surface, and delivers water back through the mounting surface.

[0023] Mounting variants of the faucet handle can be achieved through the interaction between the mounting flange and any additional mounting components required for the particular mounting surface. For example, the faucet handle of the present invention can be mounted on a wall, deck, floor or ceiling, and the like. Any suitable size and shape of mounting flange sufficient to support the valve body may be used with the faucet handle of the present invention. According to the invention, a fluid such as water is guided through a single support having a diameter no larger than that of the valve body. In other embodiments of the invention, the valve body is integrated with the mounting flang...

Abstract

A faucet handle includes a fluid supply line, fluid return line, and valve cartridge. A first portion of the valve cartridge provides a connecting passage between fluid supply line and fluid return line and allows fluid flow when the valve cartridge is open. A valve body having first and second openings houses the first portion of the valve cartridge. A second portion of the valve cartridge extends through first opening and extends from first portion to second portion in a direction that is substantially parallel to a mounting surface. A control handle contacts second portion of the valve cartridge. When control handle is rotated in a first direction around an axis along which the valve cartridge extends the valve cartridge is opened allowing flow from supply line to return line, and when the valve cartridge is rotated around the axis in an opposing direction the valve cartridge is closed.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 to U.S. Provisional Patent No. 61 / 706,857, filed September 28, 2012, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to faucet handles for controlling fluid flow. Background technique [0004] Other faucet handles include a spool aligned with the axial direction of a generally cylindrical valve body such that the valve's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the mounting surface. Repair or removal by unscrewing the spool may cause the valve body to rotate about its axis. [0005] Other faucets with a handle that rotates about an axis parallel to the mounting surface include an integral spout. Some faucets have two opposing spools and an integral spout. Due to these added components, a large and bulky appearance results. Contents of the invention [0006] There is a need for a faucet handl...
