ABSTRACT:
The device comprises a pair of poles of tubular configured material such as aluminum, thin wall steel, plastic or the like which have a close telescoping engagement. Positioned at the distal ends of each pole is a suction cup constructed of pliable material such as rubber, plastic or the like. On the inside end of the inner telescoping pole is positioned a disk of plastic or the like material. The disk is rotatably attached to the end of the inside pole by a screw or the like. The attachment of the disk is off center whereby when the disk is rotated relative to the outer pole at least a portion of its outer periphery contacts the inner wall of the outer pole. The flexibility of the suction cup at its attachment to the pole allows the pole to be extended between two adjacent surfaces which are not necessarily parallel. In operation the poles are telescoped apart until the suction cups are pressed substantially flat against the adjacent surfaces and then the poles are turned relative to each other causing the disk to rotate against the inner surface of the outside pole of the telescopically nested poles causing the outer surface of the disk to bind against the inner surface of the outside pole locking the poles in their selected extended positions.
