A telescoping pole system is described which is useful for supporting an antenna, for example, in an elevated position. The pole system can also be used to support a prism. The pole system is collapsible and portable. The uppermost pole section can be aligned with the lowermost pole section. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In FIG.
1 there is illustrated one embodiment of telescoping pole system 10 which is held in an upright manner by means of anchors or wires 11.
An antenna 12 is supported at the top of the pole system.
The base 13 of the pole is supported on a fixed point P (e.
g.
, a brass cap or section marker).
The antenna used in the GPS system acts as the satellite receiver.
The telescoping pole system expedites and facilitates the transmitting and receiving process by supporting the antenna at an elevated height so that the signal to be received by the antenna is not obstructed by trees, buildings, etc.
FIG.
2 is a front elevational view, partially cutaway, of a preferred embodiment of telescoping pole system 20 of the invention.
A cross-sectional view is shown in FIG.
3.
The pole system includes a plurality of telescoping tubular sections 20A through 20G.
The lowermost section is identified as 20A and the uppermost section is identified as 20G.
A threaded support member 22 is secured to the top of the uppermost section for attachment of an antenna, prism, etc.
to the pole system.
The length and diameter of the pole sections may vary.
Generally speaking, the length of each pole section is in the range of about 5 to 10 feet.
The diameter may vary, depending upon the type of material used, the weight of the material, the wall thickness, etc.
Generally, the diameter of the lowermost section (which is the largest) is in the range of about 5 to 10 inches.
The number of telescoping sections may also vary.
Generally, the number of sections used in the range of about four to ten for pole systems which are intended to reach to heights of about 25 to 60 feet.
The number and size of the individual sections of the pole system will be dependent upon the user's needs.
For example, if the pole system is intended for use in brushy areas or where there is moderate vegetation, the pole may only have to be extended to a height of 25 feet or less.
On the other hand, if the pole system is intended for use in forested areas, the pole may have to be extended to a height of 50 or 60 feet
