Other what is it

What is this thing for

 

[Craig Clayton]

I would guess it goes over a round electrical conductor and is tightened down and a cable is connected on, ie power from a overhead line.

That is what you put around someones throat when you want the truth.

I don't know, but I need one.

Riggin clamp for pipe? If it was a lot smaller I'd say a el. conduct hanger!:confused2:

"Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass - Mark Twain"

That's good. When I come across quotes from Mark Twain I read them over repeatedly - always admire his style. Never saw this one before. :thumbsup:

I agree it looks like something for rigging lights in a theater.

I've rigged a lot of lights in a lot of theaters and never seen one of these doohickeys.

 

[moored4]

that rules that Ideal out! Not an el. domahichy!

I believe it is a fire hose restrictor, that you clamp on the hose to slow the flow of water.

Don't think so....

No, it's definitely not a hot line clamp.

 

[Craig Clayton]

Final guess a clamp that goes on a old style tire and rim. Model T Ford era.

Looks to dirty but how about something medical, like setting broken bones in a limb? wild guess!

With the large open part and the small fork/yoke, it has to hold something small to something larger?

You came the closest,but it is not for setting broken bones,altough a limb is involved.

I'll give one more clue,its not used on humans.

Give it another round

After seeing and being delivered kicks on the farm by horses and cows, I think its an anti kick clamp around the tendons of the animals rear leg.

Especially useful when shoeing or trimming I can imagine.

We have been brain storming and we seen the word HOCK in the Jpeg title. I believe Carl NH has hit the target. It is a HOCK clamp used to control a kicking animal.

The large bill is to go around the leg and the smaller V is to find the muscle/tendon.

[Craig Clayton]

We have the proof, it is known as a tendon clamp.
