The present invention relates to a faucet control handle structure, and more particularly refers to a receiving space of a control handle having a detachable transforming head, which can be applied to different sizes of water control bases, to increase the practicability of the faucet handle and convenience for assembly.
In recent years, the “DIY” style has become popular and people focus more on entire appearance of the faucet, so most people try to replace the faucet handle by themselves start to get rid of the appearance of the old faucet and achieve the goal of changing the exterior of the faucet and eliminating the old thereof. However, various faucets are different in sizes that cause the corresponding the faucet handles vary in size as well, and it is difficult for customers to purchase a suitable faucet handle, which further cause a problem in assembling and replacing the faucet. This is the problem the present invention wants to solve.
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is that various faucets are different in sizes that cause the corresponding the faucet handles vary in size as well, and it is difficult for customers to purchase a suitable faucet handle, which further cause a problem in assembling and replacing the faucet. This is the problem the present invention wants to solve.
The technical point to solve the problem mentioned above is that the present invention provides a faucet control handle structure including: a control handle, one side of which recessedly forms a receiving space having two wedging ribs cross each other at the periphery of an opening. A connecting unit is protrudingly formed at the periphery of the opening of the receiving space and the connecting unit has one through hole that provides a locking unit. A restricting rib is protrudingly formed on each side of the connecting unit. The wall-mounted faucet control device also has a first and a second transforming heads that have an inserting slot recessedly formed at one side of the transforming heads, while a connecting surface is formed expandably on the other side thereof. Two connecting slots cross with each other are recessedly formed at the connecting surface, and the connecting slots are engaged with the wedging ribs of the control handle. Furthermore, a recessed slot formed at the cross point of the connecting slots connects with the inserting slot and provides a screw locking unit. The transforming heads extendedly and downward form a connecting portion that has a connecting hole therethrough, and the connecting hole is provided for the locking unit of the control handle to lock. A stopping block is extendedly formed on both sides of the connecting portion of the first transforming head, while a stopping rib is extendedly formed near the top of the inserting slot of the second transforming head. As such, a wall-mounted faucet control handle is formed.
The present invention provides a wall-mounted faucet control handle that is advantageous because the receiving space of the control handle has detachable transforming heads, so the faucet handle in the present invention can be used in different water control bases with different sizes to increase the practicability of the faucet handle, and further increase the convenience during the assembly process.
The detailed description set forth below is intended as a description of the presently exemplary device provided in accordance with aspects of the present invention and is not intended to represent the only forms in which the present invention may be prepared or utilized. It is to be understood, rather, that the same or equivalent functions and components may be accomplished by different embodiments that are also intended to be encompassed within the spirit and scope of the invention.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although any methods, devices and materials similar or equivalent to those described can be used in the practice or testing of the invention, the exemplary methods, devices and materials are now described.
All publications mentioned are incorporated by reference for the purpose of describing and disclosing, for example, the designs and methodologies that are described in the publications that might be used in connection with the presently described invention. The publications listed or discussed above, below and throughout the text are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the inventors are not entitled to antedate such disclosure by virtue of prior invention.
In order to further understand the goal, characteristics and effect of the present invention, a number of embodiments along with the drawings are illustrated as following:

According to the structure in the abovementioned embodiments, the present invention has the following advantages: (a) the receiving space (11) of the control handle (10) has detachable transforming heads (20a) (20b), so the faucet handle in the present invention can be used in different water control bases (30) (300) with different sizes to increase the practicability of the faucet handle, and further increase the convenience during the assembly process; and (b) since the restricting ribs (14) are protrudingly formed on both sides of the connecting unit (13), and the wedging edge (15) is located therebetween, the connecting portion (25) of the transforming heads (20a) (20b) can be inserted between two restricting ribs (14) of the control handle (10) and stopped by the wedging edge (15). Therefore, the through hole (131) of the control handle (10) is aligned with the connecting hole (251) of the connecting portion (25) of the transforming heads (20a) (20b) to avoid shaking due to an error occurred when processing the wedging ribs (12) of the control handle (10) and the connecting slots (23) of the transforming heads (20a) (20b). Moreover, the positioning of the transforming heads (20a) (20b) is enhanced to further lock the locking unit (132) of the control handle (10) to the connecting hole (251) of the transforming heads (20a) (20b) to increase the convenience of assembling the control handle (10).
Having described the invention by the description and illustrations above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as limited by the foregoing description, but includes any equivalent.
