utskjutbart

Utskjutbart is a Swedish adjective that translates to "extendable," "retractable," or "telescopic" in English. It describes an object or mechanism that can be lengthened or withdrawn, often by sliding parts into or out of each other.

The term is commonly used in various contexts. For example, an "utskjutbart bord" refers to an extendable dining table that can be made larger to accommodate more people. Similarly, an "utskjutbart handtag" might describe a handle on a tool or luggage that can be extended for better reach or grip. In construction and engineering, "utskjutbart" can refer to telescopic booms on cranes or extendable sections of bridges.

The functionality of something being utskjutbart often relies on simple mechanical principles, such as friction fits, locking mechanisms, or guides that allow for smooth extension and retraction. The purpose is typically to save space when not in use or to adapt to different functional requirements. The design of utskjutbart items prioritizes both stability when extended and compactness when retracted.
