| (54) | Sliding pad for a jib |
| (57) An extendable and stowable jib (7) according to the present invention comprises a
plurality of jib structures (71, 72 and 73) telescopically inserted into each other.
A sliding pad (10) sliding on an inner surface (72i) of an outer jib structure (72)
is attached to the base end portion of an inner jib structure (73). The inner jib
structure (73) is provided with a supporting member (23) protruding towards the inner
surface (72i) of the outer jib structure (72). The sliding pad (10) is connected to
the supporting member (23) so as to restrict movement in the perpendicular direction
to the protruding direction of the supporting member (23). The present invention can
prevent from damaging the jib structure due to a screw and drop-off of the sliding
pad. The present invention does not lower strength of the jib structure.
