ABSTRACT:
A handle assembly includes an open-ended sleeve connectable to a valve stem by a screw inserted and removed through the open end. A removable thimble has a lateral opening which aligns with a lateral opening in the sleeve. A handle member is held intact to the thimble and sleeve by an internal threaded connection. In one embodiment, the internal connection is provided by threads of two handle members and the thimble. In another embodiment, a screw extends from one handle member for connection with the other with the head housed in a cavity which is covered by a cap. The handle assembly can also be provided with decorative rings positioned between the handle members and the thimble. In a preferred embodiment, the threaded engagement with the thimble is afforded by a first cross member inside the thimble and a second cross member represented by a handle member covering the thimble opening.
