Game: Guess the mystery object !






magnetic clamp ?

I mean, like for "lift" metal plates that you cannot handle in the right way from the borders ?

(Sorry, don't know how to call these things correctly in English, here are "gancio magnetico" ..... magnetic hook ?)

Exactly right HIMNL9.

Sticks to metal and you squeeze it to release it.


Your turn.
 
How do you people know all this ? I couldn't guest 9 out of 10 pictures.
You guys are walking wikipedia's :D
 
@ Blord: we had similar (but not identicals) magnetic clamps for lift steel cylinders, where i was working in the past, so i just imagined it can be something similar, only used with hands, instead than with a lifter ..... sometimes are items that i already have seen, but most of the times is simply luck and imagination ;)

Ok, one "easy" to guess (muahahahahh :eg:)

Try to guess from where it come, and for what it was used (i mean, please don't reply just "it's a piece of wood", ok ? ..... :p :D :crackup:)
 
That is used for polishing Japanese swords. The polisher put the sword on a block of wood and on top he put this clamp on. With the weight of the feet on the middle he will secure it. Then he grinds and polishs the sword.
 
Sorry, no.

It's much more old than this, and have nothing to do with swords (nor with Japan) ;)
 
If is very old I think have seen this device or similar in the Louvre museum in Paris,
in the space devoted to the Egyptian civilization (spectacular and wonderful museum, by the way).

What I can not remember what it was used, ¿perhaps in the rites of embalming used by the Egyptians?
But can not remember :thinking:

Well, perhaps much talk and is not that, haha.

Piferal guessed the provenience and the age, and partially also the use, so i think he can be considered the winner :beer:

It's a Setep ..... not used for imbalsamation, but still with mummies ..... was one of the "tools" used in the "open the mouth" ceremony, that was performed for "wake up the senses" of the deceased for prepare him/her for the afterlife existence. (BTW ..... this don't mean that was used for open phisically the mouth of a mummy, anyway, it's just the name of the ceremony :p)

Your turn, piferal ;)


(EDIT: it was too easy, this time ..... next one, i need to find something more difficult ..... j/k :p :D)

Thanks HIMNL9 but you can put another thing more difficult if you want :eg:

I prefer pass my turn ;)
 
Hmmm ..... not a hinge maker :p ..... the inside part looks plastic, and the screw tighten the inside cylinder ..... some sort of clamp for lock rods/tubes on a machine for work on them without ruin the outside ?

As alternative, it can be a "limit locker" ..... i mean, used as "blocking device" on rods or tubes for avoid that they go over a certain position ?
