LOCKING ADJUSTABLE LENGTH ROD ASSEMBLY

摘要

An adjustable rod assembly includes an elongate first tubular member having a first end and a second end. A cam body is secured to the first end of the first tubular member and has an oblong shaft portion. A collar is disposed about the cam body with an inner surface shaped to coincide with the oblong shaft portion. An elastomeric sleeve is disposed about the collar. An elongate second tubular member has a first end sized to receive the first end of the first tubular member within an internal cavity and engages the elastomeric sleeve. Rotation of the collar to a locked position causes a force from the elastomeric sleeve against an internal surface of the second tubular member to resist axial translation. At least one of the first tubular member second end and a second tubular member second end is adapted to engage a household surface.

主权项

1. An adjustable rod assembly comprising:
an elongate first tubular member defining a primary axis, the first tubular member having a first end and a second end; a cam body secured to the first end of the first tubular member and having an oblong shaft portion; a collar disposed about the cam body with an inner surface shaped to coincide with the oblong shaft portion; an elastomeric sleeve disposed about the collar; and an elongate second tubular member having a first end sized to receive the first end of the first tubular member within an internal cavity and engage the elastomeric sleeve, wherein a rotation of the collar to a locked position relative to the cam body causes an outward radial force from the elastomeric sleeve against an internal surface of the second tubular member to resist axial translation of the second tubular member relative to the first tubular member, the second tubular member having a second end, wherein at least one of the first tubular member second end and the second tubular member second end is adapted to engage a household surface.
