Abstract: The Automatic Extending Device is an internally powered controlled automatic extension and retraction device of lengths of twelve meters or more in extended length that can support up to one hundred eighty one kilograms or more positioned on the far end away from the operator. The device is comprised of: a plurality of telescoping nested sliding extensible pole segments attached to an internally powered pole extension and retraction device comprised of a one way bearing with friction clutch; a tapered push/pull strip; a high friction drive wheel; a push/pull strip friction pinch wheel assembly; a strip guide to maintain push/pull strip location/position; and a push/pull strip spool which contains the push/pull strip when not extended into the pole. The device of the present invention does not conduct electricity, so it is safe for use in, around, and with powered lines, devices, or fixtures.
