Abstract
A locking assembly of a retractable handle for wheeled luggage is disclosed. The locking assembly is accommodated between the sliding tube and the support tube. The U shaped locking assembly comprises an upper hollow standing part and a lower pedestal part. The standing part has a pair of projections provided on two opposite sides thereof for being correspondingly secured to the holes of the sliding tube when the sliding tube is inserted into the standing part. It is envisaged that the locking pin is eliminated while the engagement of the sliding tube and the support tube is enhanced as well as the handle operation is more smooth.
