Each of the end parts has a hollow profiled round tube, and inner wall regions of the hollow profiled rectangular tube form guides for the hollow profiled round tubes. The hollow profiled round tubes can be guided in the central part in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profiled rectangular tube by means of contact region lying against the guides so as to achieve the telescopability of the end parts. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A support for supporting a region of a structure, comprising a central part which has a hollow profiled rectangular tube having a square or rectangular cross section and comprising two end parts, each of the end parts being arranged so as to be able to telescope out of the central part from open ends of the hollow profiled rectangular tube in order to change a length of the support, wherein the end parts each have a hollow profiled round tube designed to be non-threaded, and inner wall regions of the hollow profiled rectangular tube form guides for the hollow profiled round tubes, the hollow profiled round tubes being guidable in the central part in a longitudinal direction of the hollow profiled rectangular tube by means of contact regions which abut the guides, in order for the end parts to be able to telescope, wherein the lengths of the hollow profiled round tubes are in each case 30 to 50% of the length of the hollow profiled rectangular tube, and for a load bearing capacity of the support to be distributed evenly over an entire length thereof a material thickness of the walls of the hollow profiled round tubes is greater than a material thickness of the walls of the hollow profiled rectangular tube. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The support according to claim 1, wherein the contact regions are formed by outer wall regions of the hollow profiled round tubes. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The support according to claim 1, wherein fall-out securing means are provided on the open ends of the hollow profiled rectangular tube and on the ends of the end parts that are on the side of the central part, the fall-out securing means captively holding the end parts in the central part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The support according to claim 3, wherein the fall-out securing means on the end parts each have a spring pin which is resiliently arranged in a sleeve, and each of the fall-out securing means have an end panel which closes an open end of the hollow profiled rectangular tube, each of the end panels forming a stop for the spring pins. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The support according to claim 4, wherein the inner wall regions of the hollow profiled rectangular tube that form the guides have a guide groove for the spring pins that extends in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profiled rectangular tube, and/or in that the spring pins are arranged in the hollow profiled rectangular tube so as to extend diagonally. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The support according to claim 1, wherein length locking means are provided, the end parts being securable to the central part in telescoped positions by means of the length locking means. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The support according to claim 6, wherein the length locking means have positioning holes in the hollow profiled round tubes and/or in the hollow profiled rectangular tube, which positioning holes are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profiled rectangular tube, positioning pins being provided to secure the telescoped positions. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The support according to claim 7, wherein spacings between the positioning holes for securing the telescoped positions of one of the end parts differ from spacings between the positioning holes for securing the telescoped positions of the other end part. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The support according to claim 1, wherein connecting means are provided on the free ends of the end parts and/or on the central part. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The support according to claim 9, wherein the connecting means comprises connecting flanges for support system components. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The support according to claim 1, wherein the support is designed as a heavy load support having a load bearing capacity of more than 200 kilonewtons. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A structure comprising at least one support according to claim 1, wherein the support is arranged to support a ceiling construction region of the structure. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The structure according to claim 12, wherein the structure is designed as a temporary structure. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The structure according to claim 13, wherein the temporary structure comprises one of formwork or a tunnel formwork carriage. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The structure according to claim 12, wherein two or more supports are arranged in the structure. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The structure according to claim 15, wherein the two or more supports are arranged in the structure so as to be variable in length. ### Claim 17 A support for supporting a region of a structure, comprising: a central part which has a hollow profiled rectangular tube having a square or rectangular cross section; and two end parts, each of the end parts being arranged so as to be able to telescope out of the central part from open ends of the hollow profiled rectangular tube in order to change a length of the support, wherein the end parts each have a hollow profiled round tube designed to be non-threaded, and inner wall regions of the hollow profiled rectangular tube form guides for the hollow profiled round tubes, the hollow profiled round tubes being guidable in the central part in a longitudinal direction of the hollow profiled rectangular tube by means of contact regions which abut the guides, in order for the end parts to be able to telescope, wherein a material thickness of the walls of the hollow profiled round tubes is greater than a material thickness of the walls of the hollow profiled rectangular tube so that a load bearing capacity of the support is distributed evenly over an entire length thereof.
