Abstract
A mechanical utility invention that creates an expandable sustainable member beam with spikes with utility in its substantially different shape, mobility, multi-functional capabilities, and sustainability from its conventional counter part. It can be utilized independently, as a utility stand, in plurality, sharing a base(s) and platform(s), as a step, or in conjunction with other expandable sustainable member beams with spikes from which to build. Some embodiments may replace a conventional wood or metal 248 stud in many applications. Additional utilities include, but not limited to: a post, concrete form, assistive device for mobility challenged individuals, independent balance, self-leveling, varying angular degree manipulation, elevational deployment and retraction capabilities. It can be substantially shortened for transport and deploy to varying longitudinal values to regain its utility upon user demand. Thereafter, it can be uninstalled and used again for like or different utilities, making it largely sustainable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0014] FIG. 1 shows a view of the expandable sustainable member beam with spikes 10, the rigidity spike(s) 2, the mounting point 5, the housing segment 11, base segment 12, the holding pin 13, the punched hole 14, the attachment cable 15, the grooves 23, and the puncture rods 24.
[0015] FIG.1A shows a partially transparent view of three retracted segments 1, recited in FIG.1, with the rigidity spike(s) 2, and the protruding point 7.
[0016] FIG. 1B shows a transparent view of two partially expanded segments 1, recited in FIG. 1A, where as during expansion, the rigidity spike(s) 2 allow subsequent segments 1 to pass; and in brackets, an enlarged view of a rigidity spike 2 allowing a segment 1 to pass uninhibited.
[0017] FIG. 1C shows a transparent view of two partially expanded segments 1, where as after expansion, the rigidity spike(s) 2 are prohibiting reverse motion; and an in brackets, an enlarged view of a single spike or key 2 prohibiting reverse motion.
[0018] FIG. 1D shows a segment 1 with spikes 2, alternatively manufactured on the exterior walls of the segments 1, as an additional means of connectivity between segment(s) 1; and in brackets, an enlarged view of the exterior spike 2 connecting to the interior spike 2 of a juxtaposed segment 1.
[0019] FIG. 1A shows a transparent view of the expandable sustainable member beam with spikes 10, fully expanded, comprised of several individual segments 1 of diminishing latitudinal values, allowing the segment(s) 1 with smaller latitudinal values to be housed inside the segment(s) 1 with larger latitudinal values. Additionally, FIG. 1A shows a housing segment 11 as being of the same characteristics as segment(s) 1 except with the factor of being the largest latitudinal value. Therefore, the housing segment 11 is the outermost segment 1, that here forward will be recited as the housing segment 11. Also, FIG. 1A shows a base segment 12 as being of the same characteristics as segment(s) 1 with the smallest latitudinal value. Therefore, the inner most segment 1, that here forward will be recited as the base segment 12. Additionally, shows the mounting point 5 located in the base segment for which to attach the self-leveling detachable of the parent application 12. Furthermore, FIG. 1A shows plural segment(s) 1, housing segment 11, and the base segment 12 as having downward aiming spike(s) 2 for which to inhibit reverse motion; thereby, causing rigidity between the segments 1, housing segment 11, and the base segment 12. The spike(s) 2, are designed to compress towards the segment(s) 1 walls during expansion, thus allowing forward motion of segment(s) 1 and base segment 12; thereby, allowing segment(s) 1 to pass uninhibited, creating a means of expansion. Additionally, the spike(s) 2 can be manufactured with varying longitudinal and latitudinal values. Hence, longitudinal values would allow for an overall varying longitudinal value of the expandable sustainable member beam 10; while varying latitudinal values would allow for the varying numbers of spike(s) 2 necessary in creating rigidity. Also, shows the punched holes 14 in all segments 1, housing segment 11, and base segment 12, that receives a holding mechanism capable of holding the sum of the segments 1 in the housing segment 11, recited as the connecting pin 13. The connecting pin 13 is attached to the housing segment 11 with an attachment cable 15, such as a wire, but not limited to and having the freedom of any flexible connection; thereby, allowing the connecting pin 13 freedom in movement to engage and disengage from insertion into the punched holes 14 to hold the sum, or any number there of, of the segment(s) 1, and base segment 12 together in the housing segment 11. Additionally, FIG. 1A shows the base segment 12 constructed with grooves 23 in each of the respective corners of the inner walls for which to house ascending puncture rod(s) 24 which may be utilized to puncture a sub-surface when the self-leveling detachable base 3 is not attached. The puncture rod(s) 24 are fitted snuggly into manufactured groove(s) 23 for which the puncture rod(s) 24 press into and remain static by tension until released by user intervention. Furthermore, the groove(s) 23 may be manufactured with indentations or protrusions (not shown) on the inner wall of the groove(s) 23 for which to assist in tension to hold the puncture rod(s) 24 in their housed retracted position, or to assist in stability in there expanded position.
