Disclosed is a
paddle shaft length adjustment device in which a connection end portion of a large-
diameter first shaft is connected and secured to a connector
pipe via simplified
insertion to ensure easy
assembly between the first shaft and the connector
pipe, and a second shaft is secured by reducing the
diameter of a contractible
pipe portion of the resilient connector pipe, thereby allowing the length adjustment device to be repeatedly used with a
paddle shaft formed of a non-elastic material, such as aluminum. The
paddle shaft length adjustment device includes snap
insertion holes perforated in the front and rear sides of a connection end portion of a tubular first shaft, a second shaft shaped to be inserted into the first shaft, a connector pipe consisting of, on the basis of a boundary wall formed at a middle position of an inner bore thereof, an expandable pipe portion at one side of the boundary, into which the connection end portion of the first shaft is inserted, and a contractible pipe portion at the other side of the boundary, into which the second shaft to be inserted into the first shaft is inserted such that an outer circumferential surface of the second shaft comes into
close contact with an inner circumferential surface of the contractible pipe portion, the connector pipe having a longitudinal elongated slot perforated in the top of the contractible pipe portion, front and rear snap type retainers provided at the front and rear sides of the expandable pipe portion and configured to be snap fitted into the snap
insertion holes perforated in the front and rear sides of the first shaft, and a clamping member provided at the contractible pipe portion of the connector pipe, the clamping member securing the second shaft to the contractible pipe portion by reducing the width of the elongated slot, and consequently reducing the
diameter of the contractible pipe portion.
