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 9):
The multi-position hand truck of  claim 7 , wherein;\n each handle bracket includes a rotation shaft that is rotatably mounted at least indirectly to the frame portion and at least one of the rotation shafts carries a slide locking pin which is able to move between a retracted position and an extended position, the slide locking pin being spring biased toward the extended position, and at least one of the side members of the handle portion including at least one locking hole arranged for receiving the slide locking pin when the slide locking pin is in the extended position, at least one of the handle brackets presenting at least one rotation locking hole and the frame portion further having a rotation locking pin that is able to move between an extended position and retracted position and is biased toward an extended position for locking engagement of the rotation locking hole of the handle bracket and a linkage mechanism being arranged for simultaneous actuation of the sliding locking pin and the rotation locking pin from the extended locking positions to the retracted unlocked positions.
