A first pin member that is fitted into the guide groove of the upper fixed plate and the guide slot of the lower fixed plate is formed at one end located between the fixed plate and the second pin at the other end. A pair of sliding arms having members formed therein and a guide groove for slidably guiding the sliding arms by locating the second pin member inside are formed, and the second pin is provided at one end. The stopper part for contacting the member to limit the sliding range of the sliding arm is formed. It is characterized by comprising a pair guide rails that are.

[0008]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, the sliding arm is slidable along the guide groove of the guide rail, and the first pin member of the sliding arm is guided by the upper fixing plate of the handle body. By fitting in the groove and the guide long hole of the lower fixing plate,
Since both ends of the handle body are connected to one end of the sliding arm, the first pin member of the sliding arm is
It can rotate inside the guide groove of the upper fixing plate and the guide slot of the lower fixing plate of the handle body, and can move linearly in the longitudinal direction of the handle along the guide groove and the guide slot. As a result, when a couple acts on the handle body, the handle body rotates and linearly moves with respect to the sliding arm, and this couple does not directly act on the sliding arm. The sliding arm is not displaced with respect to the guide rail, and the handle can be smoothly taken in and out.
