OT: Whatzit?

Hi Jim, you have two choices here, the "R" clip as you have drawn or a button clip might be a better option. See the following link for a PDF displaying both types of clip...

formatting link

The button clip is designed to fit inside the inner pipe with the button protruding out of a hole. When the outer tube is slid over the inner tuber the button is depressed by finger to allow the tubes to couple together with the button then engaging with a hole in the outer tube to secure both tubes together. You can detent the button far enough by finger to get the outer tube off the inner tube. The button clip always stays inside the inner tube and engaged with the hole and therefore shouldn't fall out or get lost.

In this conext, the sometimes scary itinerant folks who work in travelling carnivals. Also the carnival itself or their trade lingo and code language.

Thanks. I realised after posting that that might be the explanation.

Scary, yes, hence the phrase 'cave carnem'.

Yep. I have "button" clips for the tools that fit my swimming pool pole.

But this extendable pole for removing light bulbs is threaded on the end like a broom pole. And it's solid to boot... some _very_ tough plastic... it's even hard to drill.

Carny - Short for Carnival worker. The folks who run the rides/games at your county fair.

wouldn't it have been faster to make one from a piece of wire than draw and scan it? :)

Hardly. It took seconds to draw and seconds to scan the drawing. It would have taken me several minutes to find a piece of reasonably stiff wire that would hold a shape.

Judging by the lengths, it's a typo for 5/32. It's called 'marketing', and you wouldn't understand it. (;-)

Come to think of it, Welding rod or a coat hanger would work in a pinch.

Jim,

You COULD use a Hitch Pin, if you need to remove and re-install it, regularly.

Or, you could use a common Cotter Pin, with the open ends bent in opposite directions around the shaft, after insertion. A cotter pin should protrude much less beyond the shaft's diameter than a hitch pin. And it should be much cheaper than a hitch pin.

Before it's installed, a cotter pin looks a lot like a hairpin. If you have any long-enough hairpins handy, just use one of those. They even have "no scratch" endcaps, and come in decorator colors.

So would a cotter pin.
