Abstract
The invention is a system that enables telescopic structures to be constructed from extending elements that are all the same diameter, but when telescoped together all of them fit within the diameter of the bottom element. Extending structures can be joined together to form assemblies such as telescoping ladders and towers. The extension and contraction of the structure can be carried out manually or can be powered by hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical devices.
