The lower part (31) of the pole (10) carries an expansible bush (40) engaged and fixed on the outer surface of the part (31) by one of the ends (41) of the bush and comprising longitudinally extending slots defining resiliently bendable strips. A group of balls (39) mounted to be radially movable in openings (38) in the lower part (31) of the pole (10) and bearing against the bendable strips of the expansion bush are movable between a retracted position and a position for expanding the bush (40), by a cylindrical cam (36) connected to an actuating rod (20).
