The two arms are sprung so that as you push on the handle they separate, and then return to position.
minus-squareolicvb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoThe black metal part reminds me of my futon couch, has a similar mechanism for when you fold/unfold it. Could this be an arm for some kind of recliner chair?
minus-squareSaintWacko@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThat seems like an unlikely thing to have a thong on it, though…
minus-squareMrCaturdayNight@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoJust curious is the thing you call a thong what I call a spring?
minus-squareSaintWacko@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoNo, the thong is the leather loop on the handle
minus-squareMrCaturdayNight@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThat makes sense. Thanks!
