Abstract

An item with a carrying handle, such as a suitcase, luggage or similar item is provided with a slidable handle to permit the handle to be moved from a central portion of the top of the suitcase to a side edge of the top of the suitcase so that two suitcases similarly made may be carried with one hand when the handle is moved to the edge of each suitcase and placed side by side, or a single suitcase may be carried with ease when the handle is moved to the central portion of the suitcase.
