Claim:
A handle assembly for a baby carriage or stroller comprising a chassis, plural wheels, and a superstructure, the handle assembly being adjustable in at least one of heightwise and rotational directions, said handle assembly comprising a handle ( 3 ) connected to at least one elastic element disposed in a tube member ( 2 ) of said chassis, the elastic element comprising an annular, double-connected body penetrated by a central through-opening and having a cross section that in a first, uncompressed state is smaller than an inner cross section of the tube member ( 2 ), and in a second, compressed state can be at least in part pressed outward so as to wedge firmly within the tube member ( 2 ), wherein the elastic element is provided with two mutually parallel and coincident end faces and is disposed between an upper perforated element ( 18 ) and a lower perforated element ( 19 ), each perforated element ( 18 , 19 ) being of a rigid material, a spacing between the two perforated elements ( 18 , 19 ) being adjustable in an axial direction, in order to exert axial pressure on end faces of the elastic element disposed between the perforated elements ( 18 , 19 ) and to compressively deform the elastic element in an axial direction, wherein said elastic element avoids axial compressive deformation by stretching in a radial direction, and wherein the lower perforated element ( 19 ) is coupled to traction element, and a bottom edge of a tube or sleeve ( 10 ) surrounding the traction means bears against an upper face of said upper perforated element ( 18 ).
