Abstract: A handle assembly include right and left straps secured to a handle, the right and left straps each have first magnetic elements secured thereto. A case has second magnetic elements mounted thereto, such mounted to the case with a portion of the right or left strap secured between itself and the case. The magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic elements draws the handle toward the case. The case may define a recess such that the handle is drawn into the recess and does not protrude.

Abstract: A handle assembly includes a sheath mounted to a corner of a suitcase. Telescoping shafts secure within the sheath and have non-round shapes to prevent rotation, such as a hexagonal shape. A handle secures to an end shaft of the telescoping shafts and extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the telescoping shafts. A latching mechanism mounts to the sheaths and engages each shaft of the telescoping shafts when they are retracted. The latching mechanism engages a middle shaft of the telescoping shafts when extended. A detent engages between the telescoping shafts when extended and resists insertion of the end shaft into the middle shaft. The handle assembly may be mounted to one of two lids on left and right sides a suitcase with the handle being mounted to one of the lids.
