Abstract
The present invention discloses a lockable handle system for a wheeled luggage that includes a lock housing, a push shaft and a sliding lock pin assembled in an inner tubing of the pull handle system such that during normal usage, a button on the push shaft protrudes from the top surface of the pull handle and the sliding lock pin engages the inner tubing to the outer tubing of the pull handle such that the handle system is locked in place. When the handle system is to be released and extended for usage, the button on the push shaft can be pressed down to retract the sliding locking pin from the outer tubing back into the inner tubing and thereby releasing the inner tubing and enabling it to be extended away from the outer tubing.
