Abstract
A telescopic universal joint includes a first joint and a second joint. A sleeve is connected to the second joint. A sliding member includes one end connected to the first joint, and is slidably received in the sleeve. A resilient ring is snugly arranged around the sliding member, and stays in a tight contact with an inner surface of the sleeve, thereby creating a friction between the resilient ring and the inner surface and allowing the sliding member to be positioned at a desired position by the friction.
