    So it keeps something from closing - or only lets it close a certain amount?




    ETA: I got no freakin clue!

    It closes something very precisely.

    And that's where I'm stuck. The fork part looks so much like a water meter key that I can't get away from that thought. I need to get away from that thought b/c water meter keys ain't precise instruments!

    All the forks do is hold something (that is closed precisely).

    A hinge for a toilet seat lid?

    I'm guessing a screw with wing nuts or a nut and bolt slide into each U-shaped area for fastening?

    It kind of looks like metal jaws, doesn't it? I think it is some kind of brass dental articulator like this . . .
