Abstract
An adjustable telescoping plank preferably includes an outer plank, an inner plank and a drive device. The outer plank includes a substantially rectangular cross section. The drive device is retained on an inside of substantially a first end of the outer plank. The inner plank includes a substantially rectangular cross section. A lead screw nut is retained on a first end of the inner plank. The inner plank is sized to be received by an inner surface of the outer plank. The drive device preferably includes a lead screw, a drive gear, a driven gear and a drive shaft. The drive shaft rotates the lead screw through the drive gear and driven gear. The lead screw engages the lead screw nut to axially move the inner plank relative to the outer plank. A contact member may be pivotally retained on a front of the inner plank.
