The present invention relates to a telescopic device comprising at least two sections, wherein an extraction force is needed to extend the device from a short telescope configuration to an extended configuration and securing the sections in extended configuration; a separation force is needed to pull the at least two sections apart; retention means coupling at least one of the two sections to at least one attachment point; and the uncoupling strength of the retention means is larger than the extraction force but smaller than the separation force. This allows the telescopic device to be properly extended into its extended configuration before the retention means uncouples the telescopic device from the at least one attachment point. L'invention concerne un dispositif télescopique comprenant au moins deux sections, une force d'extraction étant nécessaire pour étendre le dispositif d'une conception de télescope courte à une conception étendue, et fixant les sections dans la conception étendue; une force de séparation étant nécessaire pour séparer les deux sections; des moyens de retenue couplant au moins une des deux sections à au moins un point de fixation; et la force de désaccouplement des moyens de retenue étant supérieure à la force d'extraction mais inférieure à la force de séparation, permettant ainsi au dispositif télescopique d'être étendu de manière adéquate dans sa conception étendue avant que les moyens de retenue ne désaccouplent le dispositif télescopique du point de fixation.
