Telescopic Support Device for Faster Construction Installation
Here’s PatSnap Eureka !
Summary
Problems
Conventional safety post installations in construction sites are time-consuming and require special tools, affecting the strength and aesthetic finish of the construction due to the need for manual drilling and bolting.
Innovation solutions
A support device featuring telescopic members with locking mechanisms and resilient biasing means, allowing for easy and secure attachment between a floor and ceiling without the need for bolting, using a locking portion and actuating means to lock the members in place.
TRIZ Analysis
Specific contradictions:
General conflict description:
Principle concept:
If conventional safety posts are installed by drilling holes and bolting foot supports, then secure attachment is achieved, but installation time increases and special tools are required
Why choose this principle:
The invention extracts and eliminates the drilling and bolting operations from the installation process. Instead of using foot supports that require drilling holes in the floor, the telescopic post system directly engages with the floor surface through its base, removing the need for special tools and reducing installation time while maintaining secure attachment.
Principle concept:
If conventional safety posts are installed by drilling holes and bolting foot supports, then secure attachment is achieved, but installation time increases and special tools are required
Why choose this principle:
The telescopic post system is designed to be self-installing without requiring external drilling or bolting operations. The post automatically secures itself between floor and ceiling through its telescopic mechanism and locking system, making the installation process simpler and faster while ensuring reliable attachment.

Abstract
A support device is provided including first and second telescopic members, the distal end or ends of the members engaging with a suitable surface in use. Locking means are provided on the first and/or second members to lock the members in a required relative position. The locking means includes a locking portion movably mounted on the first and/or second members and actuating means. The actuating means move the locking portion between a first unlocked position, wherein the locking portion is movable relative to the first and/or second members, and a second locked position, wherein the locking portion engages with the first and/or second members to lock the members in the required relative position.
