Telescoping leg and support bracket
A telescoping leg includes a support handle, a telescoping arm assembly and a friction assembly. The support handle has an accommodation chamber. The telescoping arm assembly includes a first telescoping arm arranged in the accommodation chamber to be slidably switchable between retracted and extended positions. The friction assembly on a sliding end of the first telescoping arm resiliently abuts a chamber wall of the accommodation chamber for providing a sliding friction force. In the retracted position, the first telescoping arm is accommodated within the accommodation chamber. In the extended position, the first telescoping arm extends outside the accommodation chamber. The support length of the telescoping leg can be adjusted to accommodate a wider range of terrains of use, thereby improving the applicability, improving smoothness and steadiness of the telescoping movement of the telescoping arm, improving the service life thereof, and ensuring the stability of the supported object.
