Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current construction support and lifting devices are often complex, require extensive setup, and occupy significant space, failing to provide a compact and simple solution for supporting and lifting surfaces and objects effectively.
Innovation Solution
An extensible pole comprising a first member slidably engaged within a second member, with transverse holes and a locking mechanism, allowing for telescopic extension and secure locking to provide support or lifting force, enabling compact and versatile use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional supportive and jacking devices are used, then support and lifting functions are provided, but device complexity increases and setup time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pole is divided into multiple telescopic sections that can slide relative to each other, allowing the structure to be segmented into manageable parts while maintaining overall structural integrity for support and lifting functions
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism is extracted as a separate, removable component that can be independently engaged or disengaged from the telescopic sections, simplifying the overall device while maintaining reliable support and lifting capabilities
2Reliability
If traditional supportive and jacking devices are used, then support and lifting functions are provided, but setup time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic sections are pre-assembled in a compact configuration with the locking mechanism pre-positioned, allowing rapid deployment by simply extending the sections and engaging the lock without requiring extensive assembly steps
Solution Approach 2:
The pole transitions from a static, complex assembly to a dynamic, easily extendable structure where sections can be quickly telescoped and locked into position, significantly reducing setup time while maintaining reliable support and lifting functions
3Reliability
If traditional supportive and jacking devices are used, then support and lifting functions are provided, but space requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The telescopic sections are nested within each other in a compact configuration, allowing the pole to be stored or transported in a small space while still providing full extension capability for support and lifting operations when deployed
4Reliability
If traditional supportive and jacking devices are used, then support and lifting functions are provided, but extension capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The pole is segmented into multiple telescopic sections that can extend sequentially, allowing the overall length to increase significantly from the compact stored configuration to the full extended configuration for maximum support and lifting capability
Solution Approach 2:
The pole transitions from a compact static configuration to an extended dynamic configuration where sections can be telescoped to achieve full length, providing variable extension capability adapted to different support and lifting requirements

AI summary
A jacking pole apparatus is disclosed. A jacking pole may include two tubular members, slidably engaged with one another in such a manner that they may extend or expand. A jacking pole may engage two surfaces or objects and extend therebetween in order to provide support. Further, a jacking pole may vertically displace an object or surface. A jacking pole utilizes locking mechanisms to remain in certain positions and provide continuous support for surface and objects. The locking mechanisms may also be utilized during vertical displacement in order to facilitate such motion.
