Double ball joint locking device
View Patent ↗A double ball joint locking device has a first ball socket mounted to a first telescopic member. The first ball socket has a first ball. A second ball socket is mounted to a second telescopic member. The second ball socket has a second ball. The first telescopic member has a telescopic connection with the second telescopic member such that the length of the double ball joint locking device is adjustable. A first ball locking rod is threadedly mounted to a first ball socket base at a first threaded mounting. A second ball locking rod is threadedly mounted to a second ball socket base, at a second threaded mounting. The second threaded mounting has an opposite handed orientation to the first threaded mounting. A first ball locking rod to second ball locking rod connection glidingly connects the first ball locking rod to the second ball locking rod.
