  • Patent number: 11197649
    Abstract: A travel handle (20) is provided with a pair of support plates (22) and a gripping bar (21) extended between the support plates (22). The pair of support plates (22) has a groove-like shape and is engaged with a slider (25) provided to a main body so that the support plates are reciprocally guided in a longitudinal direction inclined relative to the horizontal direction, and the reciprocal motion ends of the support plate in the reciprocating direction are regulated. The slider (25) is provided with a braking roller in contact with a groove portion side surface of the support plate (22) of the travel handle (20) and a braking control mechanism (26) for performing control such that the braking force by the travel handle (20) against the upward/downward movement of the travel handle (20) in the inclined direction is increased when the travel handle (20) is moved downward and decreased when the travel handle (20) is moved upward.
