    摘要: A collapsible structure connection system including apparatus for connecting rod segments and apparatus for holding and organizing rod segments. An apparatus for connecting rod segments, such as a pole tip and final rod segment, or two rod segments, may have a pair of mated rod segments and a spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism, with the rod segments connected using an elastomeric connector attached to each rod segment at adjacent, opposing ends. The elastomeric connector may be attached to and held in place against the rod segment using an attachment assembly that may be threaded or unthreaded, and that may mate, or not mate, within the rod segment upon securing the attachment assembly to the rod segment. The spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism may have a spring-loaded push-button seated on a dowel of a male body, and a cavity aperture traversing a dowel cavity of a female body.

    摘要: A collapsible structure connection system and method including an apparatus having a pair of mated ferrules or rod segments and a spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism, the spring-loaded push-button locking mechanism having a spring-loaded push-button seated on a dowel of a male ferrule or mail rod segment, and a cavity aperture traversing a dowel cavity of a female ferrule or female rod segment. Each ferrule couples to a rod segment of the structure, the ferrules connecting the rod segments when mated, but allowing the rod segments to disengage into a collapsed structure. An exemplary embodiment of the apparatus and collapsible structure connection system includes a pair of mated ferrules or rod segments, one pivoting pin and at least one slider arm. The slider arm rotates around the pivoting pins, allowing the ferrules or rod segments to rotate into various positions when selectively connecting and collapsing rod segments.

Each ferrule couples to a rod segment of the structure, the ferrules connecting the rod segments when mated, but allowing the rod segments to rotate into a collapsed structure. The apparatus has a locking system in one example embodiment. The systems include a bracket, at and at least one locking device to fix the rod segments in a preferred configuration. An alternate apparatus and collapsible structure connection system includes a pair of mated ferrules each having a lengthwise slot, a connector arm and pivoting pins. The connector arm rotates around the pivoting pins within the slots of the ferrules, allowing the ferrules to rotate into various positions when selectively connecting and collapsing rod segments.
