Adjustable covering trim for a concealed valve and articulated adaptor

An adjustable covering trim for covering a valve concealed behind a finishing wall, the valve comprising an extending cartridge defining a cartridge distal end and a cartridge centerline extending therealong, the adjustable covering trim comprising:

• a decorative outer frame mountable on the finishing wall and configured to cover the valve;
• a handle rotatable relative to the decorative outer frame about an axis of rotation, the handle comprising internal longitudinal grooves;
• and
• an articulated cartridge adaptor comprising:
• a handle adaptor part slidably engaged in the handle;
• and
• a cartridge adaptor part mounted on the extending cartridge at the cartridge distal end such that both the cartridge distal end and the articulated cartridge adaptor can rotate with the handle upon rotation thereof, the cartridge adaptor part having an outer surface provided with protrusions;
• the handle adaptor part having an internal surface provided with adaptor grooves slidably receiving the cartridge adaptor protrusions therein and an external face provided with handle adaptor projections;
• the handle adaptor part and the cartridge adaptor parts being movable one relative to the other so as to compensate for a misalignment between the axis of rotation of the handle and the cartridge centerline, the articulated cartridge adaptor being articulable relative to the cartridge centerline, and
• the handle adaptor part having its projections slidably engaged in the handle longitudinal grooves,
• the handle being movable relative to the handle adaptor part along the axis of rotation of the handle via the complementary handle adaptor projections and the handle grooves, allowing depth adjustment of the handle relative to the decorative outer frame.
