    Abstract: A handle device of a wheeled trunk includes an elongated frame member mounted on a side wall of the trunk, and a handle member mounted telescopically in the frame member. The frame member has an opening formed through an upper portion thereof, and a receiving space formed in the frame member in communication with the opening. The handle member includes a handle exposed to an exterior of the frame member, an elongated unitary plate connected securely to the handle and inserted movably into the receiving space of the frame member, a spring-loaded upper push button installed to an upper portion of the unitary plate and engaged within the opening of the frame member to prevent movement of the unitary plate in the receiving space, thus locating the handle member at a retracted position relative to the frame member, and a spring-loaded lower push button installed on a lower portion of the unitary plate.

  • Patent number: 5488756
    Abstract: The handle device includes a frame member and a handle member. The frame member has a pair of longitudinal grooves, while the handle member has two first tubes mounted securely in the longitudinal grooves, at least one of the first tubes being provided with a plurality of longitudinally aligned holes, and a U-shaped handle with two opposed second tubes inserted slidably in the first tubes. A spring-loaded projection member is mounted to the first end of the second tube which is enclosed by the first tube that is formed with the longitudinally aligned holes. A spring-biased actuating lever is mounted pivotally to the U-shaped handle such that a front end of the actuating lever is located nearer to the second tube than a rear end of the same. A rigid connecting stick is disposed inside the second tube and connects the spring-loaded projection member to the front end of the actuating lever. When the lever is at the normal condition, the spring-loaded projection member engages one of the holes of the first tube.
