A fixing device for adjusting a telescoping arrangement, said telescoping arrangement including telescoping inner and outer tubes, said fixing device comprising:

• a seat disposed on said inner and outer tubes;
• a propelling arrangement defining a biased pin extending through an opening formed in said seat, said pin passing through aligned apertures formed through sidewalls of said inner and outer tubes when said fixing device is in a locking position for constraining said inner and outer tubes each to the other;
• a locking arrangement defining a housing having a first end pivotally disposed on said seat and a second end having a lug member for engagement with said seat, said housing having an inner wall for bearing against said biased pin when the fixing device is in said locked position;
• and
• a fastening arrangement defining a locking mechanism having a fastening member with a fastening end for engaging and disengaging with a fastening pin member fixed to said housing;
• an elastic member being disposed between said fastening member and said housing;
• whereby when said fastening member is in said locking position, said fastening end is engaged with said fastening pin member;
• and when said fastening member is rotatably displaced, said fastening member is disengaged with respect to said fastening pin member and said lug member is released from said seat, said biased pin is removed from said aligned apertures to permit displacement of said outer and inner tubes with respect to each other.
