Abstract
A retractable handle system for wheeled luggage comprises a handle grip assembly connected to sliding tubes adapted to slidingly move within support tubes rigidly affixed to a support. There are provided two locking assemblies for locking the system in its initial, retracted position. To place the system in an operational position, a push button on the handle grip assembly is depressed thus unlocking the sliding tubes. The sliding tubes can be pulled up and moved out of the supporting tubes. Then, the sliding tubes can be rotated at up to 45.degree. and locked in that rotated position.
