Abstract: A telescoping rod assembly which can be secured between two supports has a first hollow tube having first and second ends with a second hollow tube, also having first and second ends, fitted within the first hollow tube. One end of the second hollow tube is used for bracing against one of the supports. A flexible threaded rod is fitted within the second hollow tube, with one end of the flexible threaded rod used for bracing against the other support. Threading means are secured to the second hollow tube for extendable threading the flexible threaded rod in the first hollow tube. The first hollow tube is secured to the end of the flexible threaded rod which is braced against one of the supports.
