Abstract:
A hand truck includes a frame that is supported by main wheels and a handle having two side members. Two handle brackets are pivotably mounted on opposite sides of the frame. The handle brackets are arranged for rotation in relation to the frame around a handle rotation axis. The handle brackets slidably receive the side members of the handle so that the handle is able to slide between a first retracted position and a second extended position. The handle is also able to rotate with the handle brackets between first and second rotational positions. A lock mechanism that is mechanically associated with the handle brackets and the handle is able to releasably lock the degree of extension of the handle in at least one position between the retracted and extended positions and is able to lock the rotational position of the handle in at least one rotational position.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-position hand truck, comprising:\n a frame having a first end and a second opposite end and main wheels mounted to the frame adjacent to the first end thereof, a handle including at least one elongated side handle member, at least one handle bracket that is rotatably mounted at least indirectly to the frame for rotation about a handle rotation axis, the handle bracket also being arranged to slidably receive the at least one elongated side member of the handle, so that the handle is able to rotate with respect to the frame between a first rotational position and a second rotational position and so that the handle is able to be slidably adjusted with respect to the frame between a first retracted position and a second extended position, first and second locks that are able to move between a first locked position and a second unlocked position, the first lock for locking the handle in at least one rotational position and the second lock for locking the degree of extension of the handle in at least one extended position, and, a lock actuation mechanism that is arranged for moving both the first and second locks between the first locked position and the second unlocked position.
