Abstract:
A coupling device with a telescopically adjustable object, said telescopically adjustable object having a first body (24) and a second body (18), and said coupling device (52) is provided in such a way that said first body (24) can move jointly said second body (18) along a first linear guide (30,40) between a base position and a first extension position and from the first extension position said second body (18) only is adjustable linearly in relation to said first body (24) as far as a maximum position, characterized in that said first linear guide (38,40) has at least a stationary first bar (38) which is provided at its distal end portion (46) with an opening (48) defining the first extension position, and said first body (24) has a spring loaded slider (50) which forms the coupling device (52) and which in the first extension position engages into said opening (48) provided in said first bar (38), said first body (24) having at least one passage (44) for linear guidance of an associated second bar (42) of the second body (18), and said second bar (42) has a distal end portion (58) having an aperture (60) for said slider (50).
