Abstract

Abstract THE STRUT IS ADAPTABLE TO CHAIRS, TABLES, STANDS FOR MICROPHONES, LAMPS AND THE LIKE, AND MANY OTHER USES FOR WHICH TELESCOPIC STRUTS ARE REQUIRED. A FULLY ENCLOSED WEDGE AND BALL TYPE MECHANISM PROVIDES POSITIVE LOCKING AT ANY OF A LARGE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT POSITIONS, AND MEANS IS INCLUDED TO RETAIN THE STRUT AT ANY SELECTED LOCKED POSITION. A SINGLE RELEASE MECHANISM PERMITS RAPID ADJUSTMENTS AND, IF THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED, APPLICATION OF LOAD ON THE STRUT WILL COMPLETE THE LOCKING ACTION WITHOUT DANGER OF SLIPPAGE.
