Abstract
A faucet assembly including a handle that rotates about a rotational axis extending perpendicular to an angled interface for adjusting a water parameter.
Claims19
A faucet including:
- a spout assembly including:
- a hub defining a vertical axis,
- a liquid pathway extending within the hub,
- a handle attachment base extending perpendicular to the hub and defining a horizontal axis, the handle attachment base including an end having a first mounting surface;
- and
- a temperature control handle coupled to the handle attachment base for rotation from a first position defining a first temperature setting and a second position defining a second temperature setting, the temperature control handle including an end having a second mounting surface;
- wherein the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface define a handle movement plane angularly oriented intermediate the vertical axis of the hub of the spout assembly and the horizontal axis of the handle attachment base of the spout assembly.

A faucet including:
- a spout assembly including a handle attachment portion having a longitudinal axis, the spout assembly having handle coupled to the handle attachment portion, the handle having a longitudinal axis, the handle having a first position in which the longitudinal axis of the handle attachment portion is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle, the handle having a second position in which the longitudinal axis of the handle attachment portion is co-linear with the longitudinal axis of the handle.
A faucet comprising:
- a handle attachment base having a longitudinal base axis;
- and
- a handle coupled to the handle attachment base and having a longitudinal handle axis, the handle supported for rotation about a rotational axis;
- wherein the rotational axis is angularly offset from the longitudinal base axis and the longitudinal handle axis, such that the angular position of the longitudinal handle axis relative to the longitudinal base axis varies as the handle is rotated about the rotational axis.
