Abstract
A concealable and expandable handle comprises two outer tubes, two inner tubes, a hand grip, two retaining and arresting mechanisms, the connection rods, two linking members, and a press button. The outer tubes are provided respectively at the bottom end thereof with an elastic element fastened therewith. When the hand grip and the inner tubes are caused by the retaining and arresting mechanisms to remain in the state of contraction, the elastic elements are so compressed as to store the rebounding energy. As the press button is pressed to cause the hand grip and the inner tubes to be relieved of the arresting action of the retaining and arresting mechanisms, the hand grip and the inner tubes are caused by the rebounding energy stored in the compressed elastic elements to bounce out automatically.
