Adjustable Anti-Freeze Faucet

An anti-freeze adjustable faucet system, comprising:

• a first pipe having an inner diameter and a second pipe having an outer diameter, the first pipe inner diameter being greater than the second pipe outer diameter so as to allow the second pipe to axially traverse the first pipe in a telescoping manner;
• a coupling mechanism, comprising:
• a coupling body having a coupling body top, a coupling body bottom, a coupling body outer surface, a coupling body inner surface, and a coupling body opening within a volume of space defined by the coupling body inner surface, wherein a coupling body longitudinal axis runs from the coupling body top to the coupling body bottom, wherein the coupling body bottom is deflectable radially inward towards and radially outward away from the coupling body longitudinal axis;
• and
• a coupling handle having a coupling handle top, a coupling handle bottom, a coupling handle outer surface, a coupling handle inner surface, and a coupling handle opening within a volume of space defined by the coupling handle inner surface, wherein a coupling handle longitudinal axis runs from the coupling handle top to the coupling handle bottom;
• wherein the coupling handle opening at the coupling handle top is configured to receive a portion of the coupling body when the coupling body longitudinal axis is coaxial with the coupling handle longitudinal axis;
• wherein the coupling body opening at the coupling body top is configured to receive a distal end of the first pipe and retain the first pipe in a fixed position relative to the coupling body;
• wherein each of the coupling body opening at the coupling body bottom and the coupling handle opening at the coupling handle bottom is configured to receive a distal end of the second pipe and allow axial motion of the second pipe relative to the first pipe and allow axial motion of the second pipe relative to the coupling mechanism;
• and
• wherein the coupling handle is configured to selectively engage with the coupling body bottom, wherein the engagement is capable of exerting a radially inward pressure on the coupling body bottom;
• an exterior handle connected to the first pipe;
• a shut off mechanism located within the second pipe;
• and
• a telescoping rotating shaft mechanically connected to the exterior handle, the telescoping rotating shaft configured to operate the shut off mechanism;
• wherein:
• the engagement of the coupling handle with the coupling body generates a locked state when the coupling handle exerts the radially inward pressure on the coupling body bottom;
• the locked state prevents movement of the second pipe relative to the first pipe and/or the coupling mechanism by the coupling body bottom exerting pressure against an outer surface of the second pipe;
• the engagement of the coupling handle with the coupling body generates an unlocked state when the coupling handle does not exert the radially inward pressure on the coupling body bottom;
• and
• the unlocked state allows movement of the second pipe relative to the first pipe and/or the coupling mechanism by the coupling body bottom not exerting pressure against the outer surface of the second pipe;
• wherein the coupling body bottom further comprises a visual indicator located on the coupling body outer surface at or near a distal end of the coupling body bottom.

• and
• a coupling handle having a coupling handle top, a coupling handle bottom, a coupling handle outer surface, a coupling handle inner surface, and a coupling handle opening within a volume of space defined by the coupling handle inner surface, wherein a coupling handle longitudinal axis runs from the coupling handle top to the coupling handle bottom;

• wherein the coupling body opening at the coupling body top is configured to receive a distal end of a first pipe and retain the first pipe in a fixed position relative to the coupling body;
• wherein each of the coupling body opening at the coupling body bottom and the coupling handle opening at the coupling handle bottom is configured to receive a distal end of a second pipe and allow axial motion of the second pipe relative to the first pipe and allow axial motion of the second pipe relative to the coupling mechanism;
• and
• wherein the coupling handle is configured to selectively engage with the coupling body bottom, wherein the engagement is capable of exerting a radially inward pressure on the coupling body bottom.
