Abstract
A detachable carry handle assembly contains a first segment and a second segment that are telescopically interfitted with one another. Sliding of the respective segments relative to one another selectively increases or decreases the overall length of the carry handle assembly, which may be manually manipulated into a plurality of overall length configurations. A spring biased barrel lock assembly may be used to fix the carry handle assembly into a predetermined overall length. The carry handle assemblies may contain rotating handles that to rotate out to a position of maximum width that facilitates lifting operations. Collapse of the handles to a position of minimum width facilitates stowage of the carry handle assemblies in a minimum space.
