  • Patent number: 10316543
    Abstract: A spider hub pole retaining assembly may include a hub, poles and a retainer. The hub may include channels extending radially outward in a plane. The poles maybe pivotably coupled to the hub near a center of the hub so as to be pivotable between a first position in which the poles extend radially outwardly through the channels in the plane and a second position in which the poles extend away from the outside of the channels. The retainer may include a top rotatably supported by the hub and hooks extending from the top. The top is rotatable between a retaining position in which the hooks receive the poles when the poles are in the first position and a releasing position in which the hooks are angularly offset with respect to the channels to facilitate withdrawal of the poles from the channels.
