First Claim
Patent Images
1. 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;
a liquid pathway where flow therein is at least partially controlled by operation of the handle;
wherein the handle fails to provide any portion of the liquid pathway and the handle fails to permit flow within the handle;
wherein the rotational axis is fixed and 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.
