Patent ID: 7727046

Claim:
A beating appliance for cheering, comprising a body portion having a plurality of tubular members reduced in diameter from one end to another end in a longitudinal direction and combined with each other so as to be extended/retracted, wherein the tubular members adjacent to each other are brought into an extended state by connecting an inner peripheral surface of a large diameter tubular member to an outer peripheral surface of a small diameter tubular member in taper-stacked states, and brought into a retracted state by storing the small diameter tubular member in order in a nested state into the large diameter tubular member; wherein the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the tubular members have either a projecting portion or a complementary recessed portion that fit to hold the beating appliance in the extended state; wherein each tubular member is a different shape; wherein a head cap is fitted to one end of a maximum diameter tubular member; wherein the retracted state of the body portion is held by locking one end of a minimum diameter tubular member by the head cap; and wherein the head cap has a locking projecting portion projecting to the body portion, and the locking projecting portion and the minimum diameter tubular member are locked by screw-fitting the locking projecting portion to one end of the minimum diameter tubular member.
