Abstract
The invention provides a moving mechanism which can be made so small and lightweight as to be portable when being contracted, which can be formed into a longer higher column than conventional potable column, and which can thus realize a large moving amount without increasing the weight thereof. The movement mechanism has a slender moving member, a driving portion for moving the moving member, a plurality of centering members each having a through hole for the moving member at the center thereof, connected to each other and are moved in linkage with the movement of the moving member so that the distance between the respective centering members can be changed, and a movement passage for supporting and guiding the movement of the centering members.
Claims12
A movement mechanism of a telescopic column comprising:
- a slender moving member;
- a driving portion for forwardly and backwardly moving said moving member;
- a plurality of centering members each having a through hole for said moving member at the center thereof, said centering members being connected to each other and moving with the movement of said moving member so that the distance between said respective centering members can be changed;
- and
- a movement passage for supporting and guiding the movement of said centering members.
A movement mechanism for a telescopic column comprising:
- longitudinal support means for providing longitudinal support for the column;
- plural lateral support means movable along the longitudinal length of said longitudinal support means for preventing buckling of said longitudinal support means when subjected to longitudinal pressure;
- connecting means for connecting said plural lateral support means to each other so that movement of one of said lateral support means affects movement in an adjacent one of said lateral support means;
- and
- peripheral guide means surrounding said longitudinal support means for guiding the movement of said lateral support means.
