Abstract
A rotatable handle assembly includes a housing having a pair of casings for rotatably receiving a pair of barrels. A pair of tubes are slidably engaged in the housing and slidably engaged in the barrels such that the tubes are rotated in concert with the barrels. The tube and the barrel may rotate relative to the casing when the lower end of the tube is disengaged from the casing and is received in the barrel. The casings each includes a projection for engaging with one or more cavities of the barrel so as to position the barrel at an angular position relative to the casing.
