ABSTRACT:
A telescoping prod for divers and the like, including a remotely operable pickup. Inner and outer tubular members telescope with respect to each other, and a set screw holds the two members in the desired position. The pickup includes spring fingers projectable from the extending end of the prod, the fingers being carried by a tube within the inner tubular telescoping member. The tube is held in the inner member, and a rod can either pass through the tube, or be locked to one end of the tube for operating the spring fingers from a distance. The end of the inner telescoping tubular member is threaded to receive various tools, or a visible locator. When folded, the prod is no longer than a person's thigh, and can be fastened along the thigh to allow free movement.
