Claim:
A handle system which is mounted in a board which is placed in a vehicle's luggage compartment, the handle system comprising: a main body which is configured to be mounted to a mounting hole in the board and which comprises: a pair of side walls in which a pair of shaft holes are formed, respectively, a base portion which is positioned between the side walls; a front edge which connects the side walls; a through hole which is defined by the side walls, the base portion and the front edge; and a pair of elastic claws which project from a back surface of the front edge, each of the elastic claws having a pillar portion projecting downwards from the back surface of the front edge and a claw portion projecting inwards from a corresponding one of the elastic claws; an operating member which comprises: a gripping portion which is configured to be gripped by a user, an entire width of the gripping portion being smaller than a width of the through hole such that the gripping portion is configured to pass through the through hole from a back surface side to a front surface side of the main body; and a pair of projecting shafts which project outwards from both sides of the operating member, respectively, a distance between tip ends of the projecting shafts being greater than the width of the through hole so that the projecting shafts enter the shaft holes of the side walls to thereby allow the operating member to be rotatably assembled to the main body; and a lock member which causes the board to be locked to or to be unlocked from a lock receiver in the luggage compartment in accordance with a rotation of the operating member, a width of the lock member being greater than a distance between the claw portions of the elastic claws and being smaller than a distance between the pillar portions of the elastic claws so that the lock member enters between the elastic claws by elastically pushing the claw portions outwards and being configured to be slidably held between the pillar portions.
