Abstract
An extendable baton has a base section, at least one extendable section and a control rod. The base section may be tubular and have a lengthwise axis and an annular recess on an inner surface of a distal end and a release button on a proximal end. The extendable section may be tubular and nest inside the base section. The extendable section includes a locking clutch including a single slot disposed on the proximate end, a clutch plate disposed at least partially within the slot, the clutch plate including a locking portion, which engages the annular recess and a control aperture portion having an aperture, and at least one spring disposed to bias the clutch plate outwardly from the slot of the extendable section. The control rod is insertable through the aperture to retract the clutch plate when the release button is depressed.
