  • Patent number: 10322915
    Abstract: A locking head is configured such that it can be moved within and along the longitudinal axis of a telescope, which comprises at least two telescope sections, by means of a telescoping device, comprising a base body, at least one releasing device which is configured to release a telescope section lock and at least one coupling device which is configured to couple a telescope section with the telescoping device. The locking head comprises an operating member which mechanically acts on the releasing device and the coupling device in order to operate the releasing device and the coupling device. The operating member comprises a first link guide for the releasing device and a second link guide for the coupling device, wherein the links for the first and second link guides extend in a single plane or in parallel planes.
