A retractable handle comprising:
- a handgrip, said handgrip comprising a main control set;
- two first tubes respectively connected to two distal ends of said handgrip and arranged in parallel;
- two second tubes respectively sleeved with said first tubes for enabling said first tubes to be moved with said handgrip inward and outward of said second tubes between an extended position and a received position;
- two first locating devices, for locking said first tubes in the extended position or the received position;
- two third tubes respectively sleeved with said second tubes for enabling said second tubes to be moved inward and outward of said third tubes between an extended position and a received position, said third tubes each having a first retaining hole near a top end thereof and a second retaining hole near a bottom end thereof;
- and
- two second locating devices respectively provided in the bottom end of said second tubes and adapted to lock said second tubes in the extended position or the received position;
- wherein said second locating devices each comprise:
- a casing, comprising a top hole and a passageway, said passageway having a first end hole and a second end hole at two distal ends thereof;
- a slide provided in said casing and enable which to move longitudinally, said slide comprising at least one first sloping face and at least one second sloping face positioned in said passageway of said casing;
- a main elastic member provided in said casing and against between said slide and said casing;
- a first retaining member and a second retaining member respectively positioned in the passageway of said casing and adapted to move in and out of the first end hole and second end hole of the passageway of said casing respectively, said first retaining member having at least one sloping face against the first sloping face of said slide, said second retaining member having at least one sloping face against the second sloping face of said slide;
- a second elastic member positioned in the passageway of said casing and against between said first retaining member and said second retaining member;
- when said second tubes are moved to the extended position, the first retaining members of said second locating devices are respectively engaged into the first retaining holes of said third tubes to lock said second tubes in the extended position;
- when said first tubes are respectively received and locked in said second tubes, the slides of said second locating devices are lowered with said first locating devices to force the first and second sloping faces thereof against the first and second retaining members of said second locating devices, thereby causing the first retaining members of said second locating devices to be disengaged from the first retaining holes of said third tubes and enabling said second tubes to be respectively received in said third tubes, and the second retaining members of said second locating devices are respectively forced outwards and engaged into the second retaining holes of said third tubes to lock said second tubes in the received position.
