Abstract: An extending pole clamping device comprises a main body mounted on one end of an outer pole that receives insertion of an inner pole, a second body surrounding the inner pole and connected to the main body at the back portion, and a clamping lever rotatably connected at a base thereof to dual ramps at a front side of the second body. The extending pole clamping device further comprises a push button at a front side of the main body, wherein the push button is linked to an engagement pin that penetrates the outer pole and inserts into an engagement hole on the inner pole. The extending pole clamping device is unlocked by firstly opening the clamping lever and secondly depressing the push button to allow adjustment of the length of the inner pole, and locked by firstly releasing the push button and secondly closing the clamping lever.

Abstract: A tree pruner configured to reduce the width of the device to facilitate reduction of shipping costs and store space. The tree pruner comprises a leaf spring having a lower end mounted onto a lower portion of a lever, and an upper end connected to a first end of a self-locking pin, wherein the self-locking pin penetrates the lever. When the lever is at a first position at shipping or store front, the leaf spring is in tension to exert force on the self-locking pin to engage with an outer surface of a back hook to hold the lever at the position. When the lever is pulled to a second position for use, the leaf spring is at rest. The self-locking pin penetrates all the way through the lever and engages with an edge of the back hook to serve as an end stop for the lever movement.

Abstract: Extendible poles that allow for increased hand fit and rigidity. The extendible pole comprises an outer pole and one or more inner poles slidably engaged within the outer pole. The outer pole and the one or more inner poles have a cross-sectional shape of an asymmetrical oval with five extended flat sides at an upper portion and a curved section at a lower portion, wherein the curved section does not contain any flat sides or contains three short flat sides. Alternatively, the one or more inner poles have a cross-sectional shape of an oval with two extended flat sides and three short flat sides at an upper portion and a curved section at a lower portion, wherein the curved section does not contain any flat sides or contains three short flat sides.

Abstract: A rope and rope handle storage device comprising a looped body mounted on a pole, and a pair of attachment barbs attached to one side of the looped body. The attachment barbs are configured to have a space between them that can hold a rope or a securing piece attached to a rope handle. The rope and rope handle storage device stores the rope by clipping the rope into the space between the attachment barbs, and stores the rope handle by clipping the securing piece attached to the rope handle into the space between the attachment barbs.
