Abstract
Examples of a swing arrangement for a pole include a first part connectable to a first section of the pole, a second part connectable to a second section of the pole and a friction reducing housing arranged to rotatably house and couple the second part to the first part in a coupled condition so as to provide a rotational axis about which the first and second sections of the pole pivot. A pole including the swing arrangement and a related method are also disclosed.

A swing arrangement for a pole to provide a rotational axis about which a first and a second section of the pole are pivotally moveable, the swing arrangement including a first plate associated with a first section of the pole, a second plate associated with a second section of the pole, a housing with an aperture arranged to rotatably house the second plate and a third plate adapted to be coupled to the first plate with the housing clamped therebetween in a coupled condition with the housing providing a spacer between the first plate and the third plate, wherein the housing includes a friction reducing material and a retainer adapted to capture the second plate within the aperture such that in the coupled condition a predetermined clamping force is applied to the second plate so as provide friction constrained rotation about the rotational axis, wherein the retainer is a ledge at least partially blinding the aperture.
