A collar or hub mounted on the upper end of the vertical tubular member has circumferentially spaced fingers for maintaining the peripheral surface of the telescoping vertical arm and the upper end of the vertical tubular member in spaced relationship. The protuberances and the fingers coact to maintain a spaced relationship between the telescoping vertical arm and the vertical tubular member and thereby prevent scratching of the peripheral surface of the vertical sliding arm. The spacing of the protuberances is matched with the spacing of the fingers whereby the vertical arm may telescope past a mounted …
