The rod is movable from a locked position wherein the rod holds the lock element within one of the indentations and an unlocked position wherein the lock element may move out of the indentation and the lock tube assembly may telescope with respect to the inner tube. An armrest or arm cap is fixed to an upper end of the lock tube assembly.
