or plastic)


Problem: Couple/join 2-3/4" dia 5' long poles to make a 10' extension
pole that will not twist slip but which may easily pull apart?


Fewest parts, easy and inexpensive to manufacture.


Ideas??


Application? Will not twist? How much torque in each direction?
Easily pull apart as in? just pull back, or manually disconnect?
More details man - there's at least a thousand ways of doing something
that MIGHT fit your reqiuirements.

Light pole changer. Must twist in both directions.

Bring down bulb from 15' ceiling.

Place 10' pole on floor.

Remove upper 5' pole.

Place upper pole on floor.

Remove bulb.
