Baton with extensible handle and foldable crosshandle

摘要

A baton, e.g. for use by police, has a shaft and a handle, the handle being movable relative to the shaft between a first position in which it is generally in line with the shaft and a second position in it extends transversely to the shaft. A further handle is extendible when the first handle has been moved to extend transversely, and the shaft of the baton also may be extendible. Thus the baton is convertible from a compact straight configuration to a side-handled configuration.
