A handle system which is mounted in a board which is placed in a vehicle's luggage compartment, the handle system comprising:

• a main body which is mounted to a mounting hole in the board;
• an operating member which is supported rotatably on the main body so as to be operated from a front surface side of the main body;
• a lock member which locks the board to a lock receiver in the luggage compartment and which unlocks the board from the lock receive when the operating member is rotated;
• and
• a cover which is adapted to cover a back surface side of the main body,
• wherein the main body has
• a pair of side walls in which a pair of shaft holes are formed, respectively,
• a base portion which is positioned between the side walls,
• a pair of elastic claws which are provided on the base portion to movably hold the lock member therebetween,
• a front edge which connects the side walls, and
• a through hole which is disposed between the base portion and the front edge,
• wherein the operating member has a pair of projecting shafts which are inserted into the pair of shaft holes, respectively,
• wherein the side walls have tapered portions which face each other such that a distance therebetween gets wider as the tapered portions extend from the shaft holes towards back end portions of the side walls, and
• wherein the cover has deformation suppressing portions which are disposed on outer sides of the tapered portions so as to suppress outward deformations of the tapered portions.
