Example

[0024] Referring now to the figures of the drawing in detail and first, particularly, FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 illustrate a pole support tube having an inner section or inner tube 1 and an outer section or outer tube 2. Included on a free end of the outer section 2 is a rubber foot 3. The inner section includes either a universal snap end 4 (FIG. 2) or a tent pole type end 5 (FIG. 2), or as shown in FIG. 3 the inner section 1 can have both the universal snap 4 and the tent pole type end 5 on opposite ends thereof.

[0025] The pole support tube 10 can be adjusted to infinite extended lengths by a cam assembly 20. The cam assembly 20 is disposed on the outer section 2 at the outer diameter of the outer section 2. The cam assembly 20 includes a rotatable lever 21 that allows for a quick and easy setting of the length of the pole support tube. The lever 21 activates a pressure pad 23 that engages the outer diameter of the inner section 1 through a hole formed in the outer section. In the activa...
