Embodiment Construction
[0017] The present invention is premised on a pair of nested tubes having interlocking shapes to limit rotation of the tubes relative to the gap between the tubes. One benefit of this interlocking of the tubes is that the inner tube has a fixed or consistent orientation relative to the outer tube as the inner tube is extended into or retracted from the outer tube. This benefit is particularly important in inner tubes with non-zero curvature (eg, an arc of a circle).
[0018] For example, for the purpose of illustrating the premise of the present invention, figure 1 An inner tube 30 and an outer tube 40 are shown. Tubes 30 and 40 are configured and dimensioned to facilitate nesting of inner tube 30 in outer tube 40, and between tubes 30 and 40 there is Figure 2-4 Gap 50 is shown. The gap 50 is required to facilitate the nesting of the inner tube 30 in the outer tube 40 with minimum friction. Tubes 30 and 40 have a square interlocking shape that limits tubes 30 and 40 relat...
