Abstract
A handle assembly for wheeled luggage comprises a handle grip with a push button, a pair of identical outer tubes, a pair of identical inner tubes slidingly engaged with the outer tubes, and a pair of locking mechanisms each having a locking pin connected to an end of an inner tube wherein the disengagement of locking pins from the corresponding slots in a stowed-away position, partially extended position, or fully extended position is carried out by pressing the push button to cause a flexible steel cable in either inner tube connected between the locking pin and the push button to move the locking pin completely within the corresponding slot.
