ABSTRACT:
A bracketless extension rod includes a locking mechanism for holding the rod in place between two opposing support surfaces. The rod includes an inner rod section telescopingly fitted within channel means formed on a outer rod section. The locking mechanism includes a locking plate slidably received within the channel means and a tang means affixed to the locking plate. An extendable lever mechanism is attached to the inner rod section and to the locking plate. The tang permits the rod sections to move only in the direction of extension of the rod by engagement with opposing walls of the channel means. When extended, the lever mechanism places the rod in compression between two opposing supporting surfaces.
