1. A control handle arrangement for selectively moving a reciprocable valve member of a self-centering valve, comprising:

  • handle bracket means adapted for mounting in association with said valve member, said bracket means defining a guide slot;

    control handle means adapted to be mounted in association with said bracket means and extend through said guide slot of said bracket means, said handle means being adapted for releasable operative connection with said valve member for selectively positioning said handle means in either of first and second positions with respect to said valve member and said bracket means, whereby movement of said handle means in a first direction within said guide slot of said bracket means moves said valve member from a first neutral position thereof to a second position thereof; and

    selectively operable retaining means for retaining said handle in a position in which said valve member is maintained in said second position thereof, said retaining means comprising detent means defined by said bracket means in operative association with said guide slot, said retaining means being operable by movement of said handle means into said detent means when said handle means is operatively connected to said valve member in said first position of said handle means, said retaining means being inoperable whereby said handle means cannot be moved into said detent means when said handle means is operatively connected with said valve member in said second position of said handle means.
