Adjustable standard for net games

Claim 1

A net supporting standard for net games, comprising a pair of elongated thinwall cylindrical plastic tubes diametrically sized so that one tube telescopes adjustably within the bore of the second or base tube; a first set of holes passing through the wall of the one tube and with the holes being spaced along the longitudinal axis of the tube; a second set of holes passing through the wall of the second tube and with the holes being spaced along the longitudinal axis of the second tube; both sets of holes being selectively located on their tubes so that the alignment of various combinations of paired holes one from each tube telescopes the two tubes to a proper length for supporting a game net at an appropriate height; means engaging the selected combination of paired holes to lock the telescoped tubes to a fixed length; means for attaching a net to the standard, means for attaching a guy to the one tube; and in which the two sets of holes are selectively located through the walls of two tubes so that different combinations of paired holes will adjustably telescope the standard from a closed position to a men's volleyball, or women's volleyball, or badminton, net height; and in which the second tube has selectively spaced holes A and B, and the one tube has selectively spaced holes C and D, and in which locked paired holes A and D, A and C, B and D, and B and C, establish a closed position or net heights for badminton, women's volleyball, and men's volleyball, respectively; and in which the one tube has a third hole located near the tube end removed from the second tube and through which hole a double attaching loop passes to which a supported net attaches to one loop and a guy attaches to the other loop; and in which the means engaging the selected pair of holes is a pin; and elongated line means located on the outer surface of the one tube for aligning the holes of both tubes for pin insertion through a set of paired holes.
