Abstract:
An extendable and retractable column which is formed from at least three linked sections or chains. The linked sections include a plurality of individual segments linked end to end. As the linked segments are extended, each of the individual segments of the linked chains engage individual segments of adjacent linked sections to form a column. As the linked sections are retracted, each of the individual segments of the linked sections disengage from the individual segment of the adjacent linked sections and the individual linked sections may be rolled up into a multi-sided form for compact storage.

Claim (Index 13):
A pivot support block useable with an extendable and retractable support column having a plurality of segments, the pivot support block attachable within a longitudinally aligned aperture of a segment of the column and each longitudinally aligned aperture having a cross section of predetermined shape and a transverse aperture passing through the longitudinally aligned aperture, the pivot support block comprising:\n a rigid body having first and second ends and a cross section constructed and arranged to be slidably receivable within the longitudinally aligned aperture of a segment; the rigid body including a pivot aperture adjacent the first end of the rigid body, the pivot aperture having a central pivot axis; the rigid body further including an attachment aperture spaced from the pivot aperture toward the second end of the rigid body, the attachment aperture positioned on the rigid body to be coaxial with the transverse aperture of the longitudinally aligned aperture when the rigid body is received within the longitudinally aligned aperture; and the attachment aperture of the rigid body being substantially parallel to the central pivot axis of the pivot aperture of the rigid body.
