Abstract

An auxiliary operative handle of a rotational bathing faucet includes an operative handle including a conjugating end having a plurality of conjugating protruding hooks extending from the conjugating end; an elongated end extended from the one side of the conjugating end; and a circular wedging slot defined between the conjugating protruding hooks and the elongated end, wherein the operative handle is coupled with a knob of the faucet through the wedging slot and forms a secure position when the conjugating protruding hooks are conjugated with an outer periphery of the knob, so that the elongated end is used as a lever arm to rotate towards left or right, and a user is able to operate the faucet with less force. Also, the user gets to know whether the water is on or off by the position of the elongated end to precisely control the amount of the water.
