Abstract: With reference to the accompanying drawings, the faucet of the present design includes a base portion, handle portion, neck portion, and nozzle portion. The base portion has a circular bottom edge from which a surface extends upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, a small outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, a small outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, another small outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, an outwardly concave surface extends upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, another small outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, an outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, another small outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward, then becoming outwardly concave and extending upward and inward, then becoming cylindrical and extending upward to a circular edge. From this circular edge, another small outwardly convex surface extends upward and outward, then upward and inward to a circular edge.From this circular edge the cylindrical surface of the neck portion extends upward, then bends upward and forward, and then forward and downward, maintaining a circular cross-section, to a circular edge. From this circular edge a small outwardly convex surface extends downward, slightly forward and outward, then downward, slightly forward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge a surface extends downward, slightly forward and slightly outward, in the front to a circular edge.The nozzle portion begins at this circular edge and has a small outwardly convex surface which extends downward and outward, then downward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge an outwardly convex surface extends downward and outward, then downward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge an outwardly convex surface extends downward and outward, then downward and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge an outwardly concave surface extends downward and outward to a circular edge. From this circular edge a first cylindrical surface extends downward to a second smaller cylindrical surface having an inner circular edge defining an opening.The handle portion includes a cylindrical surface which merges with and extends laterally from the base portion to a circular edge. From this circular edge a small outwardly convex surface extends laterally and outward, then laterally and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge a semi-hemispherical surface extends laterally and inward to a cylindrical surface which extends laterally to a semi-spherical surface. At one side of this semi-spherical surface an outwardly concave surface extends tangentially and outward to a circular edge defining a planer surface. At the opposite side of this semi-hemispherical surface an elongated outwardly convex surface extends tangentially and outward, then tangentially and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge an outwardly concave surface extends inward and tangentially to a circular edge. From this circular edge a small outwardly convex surface extends tangentially and outward then tangentially and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge an outwardly convex surface extends tangentially and outward, then tangentially and inward to a circular edge. From this circular edge a tangentially convex surface extends tangentially and inward.Drawings of the design are included in which:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a faucet according to the design;Figure 2 is a left side elevational view thereof;Figure 3 is a front elevational view thereof;Figure 4 is a right side elevational view thereof;Figure 5 is a rear elevational view thereof;Figure 6 is a top plan view thereof; andFigure 7 is a bottom plan view thereof.
