Patent ID: 8657351

Claim:
A tubular, segmented, extensible folding pick up tool comprising: tubing segments, each having an attached coupling sleeve with a female diameter sized to receive mating male segments whereby all of the segments can be connected together male-female and thereby form a tool shaft; a length of elastic stretch cord laced through a center hole of all connected tubing segments and having finite pre-tension applied and secured in place at both ends with a knot to anchor the cord ends, fashioned to allow the tool to be extended and deployed with cord tension holding all segments together or held in a collapsed state after having pulled all segments apart and folded; a cap, fitted on a non-coupling sleeved end of the tool shaft; a user-changeable suction cup fitted on a coupling sleeved end of the tool shaft, fashioned to be pressed against a surface of a golf disc or a flying plastic disc and create a suction bond to enable pick up of the golf disc or flying plastic disc.
