(under subclass 901) Subject matter including a flexible rod for adjusting the telescoping position of the antenna sections in response to movement of the rod.
(1) Note. Usually the rod extends within the antenna. Often the rod is wound on a reel.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
714, for adjustable antennas significantly related to vehicle structure which may be operated by a rod.
877, for antennas combined with a reel on which the antenna is wound.
889, for rod type antennas retractable into a support which may be actuated by a rod.
SEE OR SEARCH CLASS 74, Machine Element or Mechanism, appropriate subclasses for mechanical movements for extending or retracting telescopic antennas, particularly
95, for flexible connector type movements, and subclass 424.8 for screw and nut gearing devices adapted to move telescopic sectional elements.
