Abstract
It is a main purpose of this invention to provide for a mode changing mechanism for use with a pole. A “J” shaped locking/un-locking mechanism is provided on an outer ring of the invention, which enables a user to select between a fixed and a rotating mode for the pole. A switch positioned in the “J” shaped groove enables the alternation between the fixed configuration and the rotating configuration of the pole. The rotating configuration enables the pole to rotate freely and the fixed configuration does not allow the pole to rotate. The pole is mechanically fastened to an inner ring. The inner ring is configured to rotate around an axis member fastened to a base plate of the mechanism. An outer ring is concentrically positioned outside the inner ring, the outer ring having the “J” shaped groove.
