The two arms are sprung so that as you push on the handle they separate, and then return to position.
minus-squareolicvb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years 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-squareBeto@lemmy.studiolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoI had the same thought, this looks like the handle for a recliner.

minus-squareSaintWacko@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoNo, the thong is the leather loop on the handle
