Handle for ice-pick - has sections held under tension by spring to take up play

摘要

The adjustable handle for an ice-pick has a shaft made up of two sections. The handle is held under tension by a spring fixed to the head, to take up play between the sections, when the handle is extended. - When the sections are closed together, the spring is compressed. It has a variable diameter to accommodate the interior diameters of the handle sections. The diameters of the sections are chosen dependent upon the material from which they are made.
