  • Patent number: 9719753
    Abstract: An apparatus including a plurality of coaxially nesting tubes, a stowed position and extended position, a respective spring-loaded retainer located on a first end of at least some of the tubes, an outer edge of the retainer is coupled to a control aperture that retains the outer edge coincident with an outside annular edge of the respective tube and wherein release of the control aperture causes a spring to urge the outer edge radially outwards into the recess of the second end of the next adjacent outside tube and a rod having a control button on one end and a tapered tip on the opposing end, the rod is located inside and coaxial with the tubes with the button external to the tubes, the rod disengages the control aperture during deployment thereby causing the control button to abruptly pop outwards from the end of the outer most tube.
