Abstract
The faucet spout attachment includes a handle that is moved by a user during use from a rest position into a rear position or forward position from which the handle is spring-biased back to the rest position when released. A cam is actuated by the handle that allows the handle to be moved into a locked position for hands-free operation. The handle is mounted on the lower housing piece of a two-piece housing that is rotatable relative to the upper housing piece to allow for alignment of the handle for proper use.
