ABSTRACT:
The removable handle assembly comprises a first member to be connected to the luggage, such as briefcases, suitcases, catalog cases, attache cases, trunks, either made of a rigid shell or a trim with an inner frame. The assembly further comprises a second member provided with a hand-grip. The second member is removably connectable to the first member in a locking engagement. One advantage of such arrangement is that the second member can be carried away or safely stored inside the luggage when it is not needed, such as when the luggage is in the trunk of a vehicle or left at the baggage check-in counter in an airport. Moreover, it has the advantages of being low in costs and low in weight. No outside frame pipe is in the way and no additional inside frame pipe retrieves space in the luggage.
