ABSTRACT:
A friction adjustable positioning pivot includes a first shaft including a tapering threaded rod which defines a hollow space therein and a slot along a periphery thereof. An urging tube includes an inner threaded periphery for rotatably threading onto the tapering threaded rod of the first shaft and an inner smooth tapering periphery adjacent to the inner threaded periphery for limiting the tapering threaded rod to thread into the urging tube at a constant direction. A second shaft includes a rod portion which is received in the hollow space of the tapering threaded rod of the first shaft and is in contact with an inner periphery of the tapering threaded rod. The first shaft and the second shaft are rotatably retained at a relative angle due to a friction resulted from the rod portion of the second shaft against the inner periphery of the tapering rod of the first shaft, whereby the urging tube is allowed to be manually threaded onto the tapering rod of the first shaft thus tightening the tapering rod of the first shaft from radial direction thereby increasing friction between the first shaft and the second shaft.
