  • Publication number: 20230190059
    Abstract: A tube arrangement is described, said arrangement comprising: an inner tube and an outer tube telescopically slidable relative to each other; wherein the inner tube comprises, on an outer surface thereof, a longitudinal groove and a plurality of deformations having a predetermined shape; a sleeve fitted into the outer tube, at one of its ends; a fastening device configured to prevent sliding of the inner tube with respect to the outer tube, when said fastening device is at least partially engaged in one of said deformations; a slider and elastic means, wherein the slider cooperates with the fastening device under the action of the elastic means; and an actuating device operatively connected to the slider; wherein the longitudinal groove forms, at one end of the inner tube, a slide inclined towards the longitudinal axis of the inner tube for separating the inner tube from the outer tube.

  • Patent number: 9895040
    Abstract: A telescopic extension, typically for an electric household appliance, comprises: an inner tube and an outer tube. The inner tube and the outer tube are slidable telescopically relative to one another. The inner tube comprises, on an outer surface thereof, a plurality of deformations of predetermined shape; a sleeve fitted inside the outer tube, at one of its ends; a constraining device configured to lock sliding of the inner tube with respect to the outer tube, when the constraining device is at least partially engaged in one of the deformations; a slider and elastic means, wherein the slider cooperates with the constraining device under the action of the elastic means; and an actuating device operatively connected to the slider. The slider comprises a guiding device for providing a guided movement between the slider and the constraining device.
