Abstract
A retractable handle assembly for an equipment housing includes a generally U-shaped handle. The side members of the handle are slidably mounted to the housing by means of guide pins which ride in elongated slots on mounting blocks attached to the housing. A communicating slot on the mounting block allows the handle when fully extended to pivot about the guide pins away from an underlying surface so as to be more easily grasped. When retracted the handle is flush with the side panels of the housing.
