| 20080315058 | Adjustable Telescopic Support - An adjustable telescopic support. The support has at least two tubular elements slidable telescopically one inside the other. A device locks the elements in an adjustable position and includes a seat at one end of the external tubular element and a contractible collar mounted in the seat between an operative position in which the collar is clamped on the internal tubular element and locks the tubular elements axially relative to each other, and a non-operative position in which the tubular elements can slide. A clamp is provided between the collar and the seat for contracting the collar as the collar moves in the seat. The support also has an actuator between the collar and the external tubular element that moves the collar axially in the seat between the operative and non-operative positions. The actuator includes a spring, a collar-carrying member, and a cam profile. | 12-25-2008 |
