Abstract

A tap handle assembly (100) comprising: a tap body (110) having an inlet (112) and an outlet (114); a tap handle (120) mounted to the tap body (110) and being moveable between a closed position and an open position; a valve mechanism (130) in the tap body (110) and operably associated with the tap handle (120), the valve mechanism (130) being adapted for movement between a closed position, corresponding to the closed position of the tap handle (120), preventing fluid flow between the inlet (112) and the outlet (114) of the tap body, and an open position, corresponding to the open position of the tap handle (120), permitting fluid flow between the inlet (112) and the outlet (114) of the tap body (110); and a latch (160) mounted on the tap handle (120) and coupled to the valve mechanism (130), the latch (160) being moveable between a locked position, engaging the valve mechanism (130) to retain the tap handle (120) in the closed position, and an unlocked position, disengaged from the valve mechanism (130) to allow movement of the tap handle (120) between the closed position and the open position, the latch (160) being biased towards the locked position and always free to move towards the unlocked position, wherein operation of the tap handle assembly (100) to cause fluid to flow from the inlet (112) to the outlet (114) of the tap body (110) is a two-step process in which the first movement of the latch (160) from the locked to the unlocked position then allows the second movement of the tap handle (120) from the closed position to the open position.
