Abstract
A jacking pole apparatus is disclosed. A jacking pole may include two tubular members, slidably engaged with one another in such a manner that they may extend or expand. A jacking pole may engage two surfaces or objects and extend therebetween in order to provide support. Further, a jacking pole may vertically displace an object or surface. A jacking pole utilizes locking mechanisms to remain in certain positions and provide continuous support for surface and objects. The locking mechanisms may also be utilized during vertical displacement in order to facilitate such motion.
Claims19
An extensible pole comprising:
- a first member slidably engaged within a substantially hollow second member;
- wherein at least one hole is disposed transversely in the first member and at least one hole is disposed transversely in the second member;
- a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to removably engage the second member and at least one hole disposed in the first member, so as to restrict sliding of the first member within the second member;
- and
- a jacking member, wherein the jacking member effectuates sliding of the first member in relation to the second member.
An extensible pole comprising:
- a first member slidably engaged with a second member, so as to extend therefrom, wherein both members include at least one hole disposed transversely therein;
- and
- a locking mechanism configured to restrict the sliding of the first member in at least one direction within the second member, wherein the locking mechanism removably engages the at least one hole disposed in the first member or removably engages the at least one hole disposed in the first member and the at least one hole disposed in the second member.
