Abstract
Disclosed is a carrying handle mechanism for a portable equipment which has a shaft disposed on a body of the portable equipment and having a first engageable portion and a second engageable portion, the shaft arranged to be forwardly/backwardly slidable with respect to the body; a carrying handle fixed to the shaft; and a lock mechanism which includes a control member which is arranged that the control member may be engageable with the shaft under a predetermined pressing force at all times and the control member is engageable with the first engageable portion when the carrying handle is in an accommodated position, and the control member is engageable with the second engageable portion when the carrying handle is in a pulled-out use position. The carrying handle is pulled out from the body, whereby the carrying handle is automatically locked and fixedly retained in the pulled-out use position, When the carrying handle is accommodated, the lock mechanism is released, whereby the carrying handle is somewhat pushed into the body by a spring force applied to the carrying handle.
