  • Control assembly coupled to handle of an implement
    Patent number: 11638397
    Abstract: A handle is configured to be coupled to an implement to guide the implement during operation. The handle includes a first member configured to be coupled to a main body of the implement, a second member movably coupled to the first member between a retracted position and an extended position, and a locking mechanism coupled between the first member and the second member. The locking mechanism is moveable between a locked position, in which the second member is fixed relative to the first member, and an unlocked position, in which the second member is movable relative to the first member. The handle also includes a control assembly configured to allow operation of the implement in response to the locking mechanism being moved into the locked position.
