Abstract
A slide valve faucet handle operates when a user arcuately pushes or pulls the handle back and forth in one arcuate axis. A knob atop the slide valve is pushed away from the user in an arcuate fashion to increase flow or pulled toward the user to reduce or shut off flow. The slide valve includes an escutcheon/valve housing at the bottom with a manually graspable knob at the top attached to a movable cover member. The cover member, which is basically hemispherical, has a section removed at an angle to permit the movable cover to advance forward over the escutcheon/valve housing. With the knob in the upright position, the valve is closed. With the knob tilted fully back in a position of use, the slide valve is in the full open position. Intermediate positions regulate flow in a continuous linear manner as expected. There is no spring return, so the slide valve remains open where adjusted along the arcuate axis.
