The pivoting portion includes a surrounding wall formed along a longitudinal axis, and the surrounding wall has a top surface. The handle body comprises an extending portion which protrudes from the pivoting portion along a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is apart from the top surface of the surrounding wall by a gap. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A handle device, comprising: a pivoting portion comprising a surrounding wall formed along a longitudinal axis, the surrounding wall having a top surface; and a handle body comprising an extended portion which protrudes from the pivoting portion along a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is apart from the top surface of the surrounding wall by a gap. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The handle device of claim 1, wherein the extended portion of the handle body is not connected to the top surface of the surrounding wall. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The handle device of claim 1, wherein the handle body further comprises: a neck portion connected to the top surface of the surrounding wall and the extended portion in a curved manner. ### Claim 4 A lock, comprising: a latch sleeve; a latch head disposed inside the latch sleeve in a retractable manner; and a handle device for retracting the latch head inside the latch sleeve, comprising: a pivoting portion comprising a surrounding wall formed along a longitudinal axis, the surrounding wall having a top surface; and a handle body comprising an extended portion which protrudes from the pivoting portion along a radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is apart from the top surface of the surrounding wall by a gap. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The lock of claim 4, further comprising: a latch driving member slidably disposed inside the latch sleeve, a first fixing structure being formed on an end of the latch driving member wherein the latch head is connected to the end of the latch driving member, the latch head retracting inside the latch sleeve in a first direction, a second fixing structure being formed on the latch head and located in a position corresponding to the first fixing structure; and a connecting structure connected to the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure, the connecting structure being for fixing the latch head on the end of the latch driving member, so that the latch driving member drives the latch head to stretch out of the latch sleeve or retract inside the latch sleeve. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The lock of claim 5, wherein the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure are respectively a surface structure defined in the first direction, and the connecting structure connecting the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure in a face-to-face manner. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The lock of claim 5, wherein the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure are respectively a through hole structure oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the connecting structure is inserted into the two through hole structure. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The lock of claim 5, wherein the first fixing structure is a screw post, the second fixing structure is a through hole structure, the screw post and the through hole structure are oriented in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the connecting structure is disposed through the through hole structure for being screwed onto the screw post, so as to fix the latch head on the end of the latch driving member. ### Claim 9 (depends on 5) The lock of claim 5, further comprising: an unlocking member slidably disposed inside the latch sleeve and activated by an external force exerted on the handle device, the latch driving member being driven by the unlocking member, a constraining structure being formed on the latch driving member for constraining the unlocking member, so that the latch driving member overlaps the unlocking member. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The lock of claim 9, wherein the latch sleeve comprises a fixing plate and a sleeve body connected to the fixing plate, the fixing plate is for fixing the sleeve body onto a door, and the lock further comprises: an extending sleeve slidably sheathing the sleeve body, the unlocking member protruding from the extending sleeve. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The lock of claim 10, wherein a first sliding structure is formed on the sleeve body, a second sliding structure is formed on the extending sleeve, and the first sliding member cooperates with the second sliding member for sliding the extending sleeve relative to the sleeve body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The lock of claim 10, wherein a first constraining structure and a second constraining structure are formed on the extending sleeve, the lock further comprises a resilient engaging member installed on the sleeve body, and the resilient engaging member comprises: a resilient body resiliently abutting against the sleeve body; and a protruding structure disposed on the resilient body, the protruding structure being driven by the resilient body when the extending sleeve slides relative to the sleeve body to a position where the protruding structure is aligned with the first constraining structure, so as to engage with the first constraining structure, the protruding structure being further driven by the resilient body when the extending sleeve slides relative to the sleeve body to a position where the protruding structure is aligned with the second constraining structure, so as to engage with the second constraining structure. ### Claim 13 (depends on 4) The lock of claim 4, wherein the extended portion of the handle body is not connected to the top surface of the surrounding wall. ### Claim 14 (depends on 4) The lock of claim 4, wherein the handle body further comprises: a neck portion connected to the top surface of the surrounding wall and the extended portion in a curved manner.
