A handle mechanism used for driving a lock module in operation includes a handle, a linking member and a transmission rod, wherein the linking member is selectively engaged with the handle and the transmission rod. The handle is unable to drive the lock module in operation by the transmission rod driving and prevents the lock module from damage once an excessive force is applied to the handle when the linking member is not engaged with the handle and the transmission rod. Oppositely, the handle is able to drive the lock module in operation by the transmission rod driving when the linking member is engaged with the handle and the transmission rod.

The present invention relates to a door handle that tilts upward when a door is open initially, and after the tilting has been completed, is slowly returned to an initial state thereof through the resistance of a damper, so that even if a user's fingers are caught in a space between the door handle and the door, the door handle can protect the user's fingers from safety accidents. According to the present invention, the door handle is located on an upper end of a front surface of a door for opening and closing a body so as to open and close a cooking compartment formed inside the body at the time when the door pulls and rotates around door hinges, and the door handle includes a first actuating rod disposed in a vertically erected state on each of both sides of the door and having an end connected to the corresponding door hinge in such a manner as to be movable upward and downward, a second actuating rod disposed above the first actuating rod and coupled to a front end of the first actuating rod by means of a pin, a rotating member having an end coupled to the door handle and a front end coupled to the second actuating rod by means of a pin, and a hinge pin having both ends coupled to a door bracket fixed to the door after passing through the front end of the rotating member, wherein the second actuating rod has an elongated hole formed on a lower end thereof so as to allow the pin for connecting the first actuating rod and the second actuating rod to be fitted thereto in such a manner as to be movable upward and downward.

Overhead luggage compartment for an aircraft, having an upper luggage compartment element, having a lower luggage compartment element which is movable between an open and a closed position, having a first holding device for holding the lower luggage compartment element in its closed position, and having a second holding device for holding the lower luggage compartment element in its open position, wherein an operating element is provided which is connected via a force transmission device to the second holding device to hold the lower luggage compartment element in its open position, wherein the second holding device can be switched by arrangement of the operating element from a holding position into a release position.

One embodiment of a storage cabinet for use in a vehicle is described. The cabinet may have two side panels, a rear panel transverse to the side panels and a selectively openable top.
