How do police ASP batons work?

What locks them in place? how do you unlock them? Is it just a tapered hole that jams in one place whenyou flick it out?





Cheers.

How do police ASP batons work?
The ASP is a telescopic, collapsable baton. It is held together, by friction. A hard flick of the wrist and it expands, locking open. To close, you have to drive the tip of the baton onto a hard surface, collapsing it. Then it locks in the closed position.
Reply:i dont know how they work but i know to unlock them you have to hit hard on the end that is flicked out and it goes back in
Reply:The Monadnock Autolock baton has a technically a more sophisticated soloution to locking and unlocking, using a ball bearing and cam locking mechanism which is released by a push button.
