Telescoping modules for use in modular utility systems

A portable telescoping module for use in demountably configuring a structural assembly having a plurality of demountably engaged portable modules, the telescoping module comprising:

• a first elongate telescoping support component comprising a housing element with a first female end extending outward therefrom and an extender element housed within the housing element and extending outward therefrom, said extender element having an outward extending second female end opposed to the first female end, said extender element extendible outward from and retractable into the housing element, said housing element additionally comprising one or more nut channels provided therealong for slidingly receiving and retaining therein one or more threadably engageable nuts provided for demountable engagement of another portable module;
• or
• a second elongate telescoping support component comprising a housing element with a first male end extending outward therefrom and an extender element housed within the housing element and extending outward therefrom, said extender element having an outward extending second male end opposed to the first male end, said extender element extendible outward from and retractable into the housing element, said housing element additionally comprising one or more nut channels provided therealong for slidingly receiving and retaining therein one or more threadably engageable nuts provided for demountable engagement of another portable module;
• or
• a third elongate telescoping support component comprising a housing element with a female end extending outward therefrom and an extender element housed within the housing element and extending outward therefrom, said extender element having an outward extending male end opposed to the female end, said extender element extendible outward from and retractable into the housing element, said housing element additionally comprising one or more nut channels provided therealong for slidingly receiving and retaining therein one or more threadably engageable nuts provided for demountable engagement of another portable module;
• wherein the first, second, and third telescoping support component additionally comprise one of a hydraulic actuator system or a pneumatic actuator system or a motorized linear actuator system;
• and
• wherein each of said female ends has a cylindrical receptacle configured for demountably receiving and engaging therein a male end from a non-telescoping module, each of said female ends provided with a locking assembly;
• and
• wherein each of the male ends is configured for demountable engagement with a female end from a non-telescoping module wherein the female end has a cylindrical receptacle configured for demountably receiving and engaging therein one of said male ends.
