Need adjustable handle mechanism
(OP)
I need a way to adjust a handle for different heights of operators. It needs to lock in well once adjusted. This is on a machine that is pushed. I am using a metal loop style handle (kind of like a lawn mower handle). A set of "toothed" faces would work. I have seen the "toothed" face approach work on the handle of a fold up pull style golf cart, where the teeth are cut on 45's and mesh when forced together, to prevent slippage. What is this "toothed" connector called? (I could have them machined, but looking for something off the shelf). Any other ideas for a locking adjustable handle? Thanks

Does the item have a flat side that the handle mount to?
The "ratchet" mechanism that comes to mind is a rack gear (as in "rack and pinion".
Do a web search for handles, or whatever.

The only maker I can recall at the moment is Bosch, but there are many others.
