Abstract: A telescopic cargo bar having a jack comprising a rack and a gear segment cooperating therewith, the gear segment being connected to a control handle, which is pivotally connected to the outer telescopic member, the jack further is provided with a latch, which in a first latch position latches the handle in a first locking position. The latch further comprises a second latch position arranged to latch the handle in a second locking position located between the first locking position and the open position. This second latch position is arranged to prevent the handle from being brought past the latch before the gear segment is released from the rack. The handle can be brought past the second latch position to open position by manual actuation of the latch.
