ABSTRACT

A cable-driven telescopic boom with several boom segments repositionable
between stowed positions and deployed positions. The boom includes multiple
spaced apart and separate cables that engage pulleys connected to each boom
segment. A drive system can be used to apply tension to the cables to
reconfigure the boom from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration.
