Abstract
A friction support device adapted to support two members in variable positions relative to one another, through the utilization of friction, until an external force is applied to bring the two members together. The friction support device comprises a slide rod inserted into the aperture in a slide holder. As the slide rod is pulled through the slide holder the frictional forces increase, causing the two members connected thereto to remain apart until an external force is applied to bring them together.
