Abstract:
A folding pole spear system comprising:a plurality of hollow cylinders, each cylinder having the same outside diameter including a forward cylinder, a rearward cylinder, a central cylinder, a first intermediate cylinder between the forward cylinder and the central cylinder, and a second intermediate cylinder between the rearward cylinder and the central cylinder; a first hollow coupling tube positioned in a forward portion of the second intermediate cylinder and a second hollow coupling tube positioned in a forward portion of the rearward cylinder, a third hollow coupling tube positioned in a forward portion of the central cylinder, a fourth hollow coupling tube being positioned in a rearward portion of the forward cylinder, with no hollow coupling tube being positioned in the first intermediate cylinder; a pair of similarly configured short washers including a first washer with a small first axial aperture positioned into an intermediate region of the rearward cylinder and abutting the second hollow coupling tube and a second washer with a small second axial aperture positioned into an intermediate region of the forward cylinder and abutting the fourth hollow coupling tube; and an elastic cord having a rearward extent passing through the small first axial aperture with a first securement knot at its rearward end, the elastic cord having a forward extent passing through the small second axial aperture with a second securement knot at its forward end, and with an intermediate extent of the cord passing through all of the cylinders to insure the retention of each cylinder to the next adjacent cylinder, the cylinders adapted to be coupled into a long linear spear through the coupling action of the cylinders, tubes, washers, and cord.
