## Abstract

A wall-mounted faucet control comprises: a control handle and three joints. Each joint has an insertion aperture. Each insertion aperture has a different cross-sectional shape such that the control handle can be installed with the various control rods. Each insertion aperture has a limiting aperture at one end, and the limiting aperture further provides a locking member and a washer. An assembling slot is disposed adjacent to the insertion aperture of each joint, and the assembling slot engages with a screwing member of the control handle. Two joints further have the securing aperture connected to the insertion aperture adjacent to the assembling slot, and the securing aperture engages with a securing member. The joints of the control handle can be correspondingly alternated for the various valve rods. The control handle can be installed with the various water valves, which can provide variety and convenience.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wall-mounted faucet control module configured for assembly comprising:
a control handle having a containment space at a bottom face, the containment space having a plurality of engaging ribs around an opening of the containment space and an assembly base, the engaging ribs having a groove at an end, the assembly base having a connecting rib and a through hole adjacent to the connecting rib, the through hole engaging with a screwing member; and
a plurality of joints, each joint configured to be disposed on the connecting rib of the control handle and engaging with the groove of the engaging ribs, each joint having an insertion aperture, each insertion aperture accepting a valve rod of the water valve, the insertion apertures having different cross-sectional shapes, at least one of the insertion apertures having a limiting aperture at one end, the limiting aperture provided with a locking member; wherein an assembling slot is disposed adjacent to the insertion aperture of each joint, the assembling slot engaging with the screwing member of the control handle, and at least two joints have a securing aperture connected to the insertion aperture adjacent to the assembling slot, the securing aperture engaging with a securing member.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the engaging ribs and the assembly base of the control handle are evenly disposed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein each connecting rib has a height corresponding to the height of the grooves of the engaging ribs.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control handle further has an extended handle portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insertion aperture of at least one of the joints has a circular cross-sectional shape.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insertion aperture of at least one of the joints has a rhomboidal cross-sectional shape.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the insertion aperture of at least one of the joints has an elliptical cross-sectional shape.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The wall-mounted faucet control module as claimed in claim 1, wherein the limiting aperture further has a washer for accepting the locking member.
